Rooms are beautifully appointed, Food in Mint Restaurant was very good, and excellent at Bombay Brasserie. Service at both was stellar. Incredibly warm and helpful front desk staff. Would definitely stay here again."

ONOMO Hotel Cape Town - Inn on the Square

ONOMO Hotel Cape Town - Inn on the Square

8/10 Good
"Super nice staff everywhere in the hotel. I found 2 issues that could be better. First the bed had no top sheet only a duvet, so when it was too hot there was nothing to cover up with. Easy to fix. Next was the noise from the square, as an older building the windows did little to block the noise of vendors setting up and tearing down, and the drumming went on for 3 hours at midnight. Not a restful night needs improvement."
