Taj Cape Town
Excellent staff. Very friendly. Very warm. The balcony door didn’t lock and the chain lock on main door was missing. One of the drawers in the bathroom was also off its track.

The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK
Very impressed with all aspects of the hotel. The staff were amazing and friendly. The cafe and the Yu downstairs were a great amenity to have. Suggestion to put electrical adaptors on at least 4 the outlets throughout the rooms. We had international adaptors but we still needed the main one.
