"This place was terrible. To start, they tried to make me pay again when I already paid online. I had to speak to the owner on the phone who lied to me about it and was extremely rude. I booked two private rooms and they tried to make me share a room with another guest. I refused because I paid more to have my own room. They do not provide wifi like is advertised and when I pressed the owner, he gave me one coupon for 100mb internet for two rooms (4 people). I told him it was advertised online as...

Top Stellenbosch Hotel Reviews

The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK

The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent
"We booked a two bedroom suite at the Onyx Hotel and were very happy with the accommodation, location, service, and the room size. There is living area, Well equipped Kitchen (though we didn't use it), large windows, soft beds, a small balcony, parking, and BF (excellent) was included in the Room Rate. Location is close to V&A Waterfront and there are many hotels in the vicinity. The Asian Restaurant on site serves up some delicious food. Would definitely recommend the Onyx Hotel/Apartment for a stay in Capetown."
