Hotel Sky Cape Town
The room was clean and staff very friendly. I booked the room for a week, after three days I asked to have my room cleaned. They can and changed out my towels but didn't changed my bed linens. But they did straight the bed up. Everything else was great especially the people at the front desk .

The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK
We had a fabulous 5-night stay at the Onyx. I booked a junior suite with all amenities. It was very prefect. The deco was lovely and all aspects of the room was comfy. The location was convenient for the conference I was attending at the center. I would highly recommend a stay at the Onyx.
