    Staff at breakfast were excellent !!! can't really remember her name, women with a golden highlight hair.. Thank you for her hospitality..

    10OliviaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    The location: it’s minutes away from the Waterfront which is a vibrant space for culture, restaurants and shopping. It’s also a working dry dock.

    Currently there are no chairs in the room.

    10VeraPosted on: 1-12-2026

    Very modern with a mix of vintage. Great breakfast included, amazing staff who are helpful with arranging day trips!

    Everything was great!

    8PamelaPosted on: 12-30-2025

    Love the funky decor and canopied chairs in the reception area. Room comfortable and well equipped. About a 15 min walk from the V&A Waterfront, 20 min walk to Bo Kaap so well located.

    The dishes we chose one evening in the Hotel restaurent were disappointing.

    8KillianPosted on: 12-22-2025

    Location is good , staff were friendly and even offered to change my room to cabin to queen room . I had booked cabin without realizing it .

    10NinaPosted on: 12-19-2025

    Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Walking distance to V&A waterfront. We had a very special anniversary. We will be back.

    8TerryPosted on: 12-13-2025

    Staff were good, accommodating. lncluded breakfast was good well. Received late check out and luggage storage.

    Room was large but no closet to hang clothes. I personally do not like the sink in the main room. View of the roof air conditioning units.

    8CorneelPosted on: 12-8-2025

    Clean room, white linen, central location, value for money.

    Room did not have a window, felt like inside cabin of a cruise ship. Extractor fan did not work in bathroom, loose toilet seat and bed base damaged on the sides. Mostly small things that can be fixed to make the experience better.

    9CieslaPosted on: 11-19-2025

    Almost everything. Having the restaurant on site was a great feature

    There was no closet to hang our clothes. We had just gotten off a cruise ship and needed to sort things out before leaving for our safari. The electrical system required an adapter which we had to purchase in the city to use our American appliances

    Never again

    No windows no phone total isolation fire hazard

    5Penelope C.Posted on: 11-18-2025

    Great location. Clean room with comfortable bed. The staff were professional and friendly.

    The room was poorly designed with no fridge and nowhere to hang/store your clothes. The room was above the hotel's bar/restaurant area and was very noisy till late at night.

    1Chandra S.Posted on: 11-3-2025

    Horrible. I felt i was robbed and not properly informed as per the information and visuals on the ne

    Rooms are too small. There was no possibility of keeping clothes well. No cupboard was available.Communication was only through WhatsApp.Toilet and Bathroom were well below expectation in terms of size and amenities.No minibar service. Room too small

    10LarissaPosted on: 8-31-2025

    Great location: near V&A, only a few minutes walking. Staff very kind, with high energy and supportive. The room was big, comfortable, and well equipped, making it a great place to relax.

    The breakfast room was a little bit small, not being able to accommodate all guests specially in high peak hours. Also, in some days, the croissant was a bit stale and not crispy. It seems to be not very fresh. One small point of improvement in the room would be the shower box, as it was not very well enclosed and caused some water to leak out onto the bathroom floor

    10NadeshPosted on: 8-30-2025

    I had no complaints at all. The staff were very hospitable and welcoming, the hotel was clean and well maintained, and the location was excellent — within good proximity to the V&A Waterfront and the CBD.

    Honestly, nothing to complain about. My stay was comfortable and met all expectations.

    8cindyPosted on: 8-17-2025

    the hotel staff are kind and efficient and go the extra mile for breakfasts, catering for diabetics as well as vegans. excellent

    7LizePosted on: 7-20-2025

    The staff was brilliant! (Special shout-out to the manager, Mymoena.) After a very unpleasant experience they went out their way to make sure that our stay at ONOMO was still memorable.The breakfast was fantastic and delicious.

    The rooms are not soundproof. If one is sound-sensitive, this hotel is not for you.There is no direct line (telephone) to reception from the rooms. Only Whats App or in person.No parking at or close to the hotel. Only street parking (if available) or 2 car parks approx 2 minutes walk from the hotel. Car park/s for own (extra) expense.
