Kensington Place

My husband and I traveled to South Africa for my birthday, and can’t say enough about the Kensington Place. We loved it here. We stayed in room 8, which had a wonderful view of Table Mountain. The rooms were well designed, so lovely, and literally spotless. The beds were comfortable, and they provide hot water bottles in the bed during turn down service for chillier evenings. The bathroom felt like an outdoor oasis. The grounds overall are so beautiful, and the entire place has an art deco feel. This is boutique hotel at its finest. Lastly the food was awesome and included gluten free options, such as bread! The service is top notch, and we appreciated the security staff that greeted us every time we left or returned back to the hotel. Kensington is in a great location near Kloof street and in a safe area. We will gladly come back anytime we are in Cape town.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the four nights we stayed at Kensington Place. It is exactly what we were looking for: small, well appointed boutique hotel with spectacular service in a quiet location.||||The facilities were in great shape and everything was always very clean. The only thing I could recommend improving, and it just might be personal taste is that the mattress was more firm than I prefer.||||The food was nothing but great. We enjoyed complimentary breakfast each morning with no complaints whatsoever. The menu was the same each morning, but great variety.||We also had one dinner there, which again was fantastic. I had the mushroom ravioli, and it might have been the best ravioli dish I’ve ever had.||||The service is where I feel this hotel really separates themselves and shines. Every single person we came in touch with exceeded our expectations. From security, to front desk to food service. They bent over backwards to make sure you were well taken care of.||||This hotel checked all of the boxes. Don’t hesitate in booking.

A gorgeous, tranquil retreat in a quiet corner of Cape Town. The property was a dream, and made our honeymoon in Cape Town so special. There's so much to rave about - the rooms were adorable, clean and comfortable; the breakfast food was delicious, and the staff was incredible and friendly. Plus there were beautiful views of Table Mountain. The property isn't in the heart of Cape Town but EASILY accessible and quick to the top attractions. Plus, walkable to a few great restaurants on Kloof Street - the staff was great at recommending options. Highly recommend staying here!

From the moment we arrived, we loved the location, atmosphere and vibes. Kensington Place's receptionist greeted us with a drink and cold towels. She even went through our trip itinerary to give us tips and ideas for our stay - we received a complimentary wine bottle in our room when we arrived. Every night there was a lovely sweet treat waiting for us, with the temperature of the next day! The breakfast was nothing short of amazing - the golden turmeric latte and pancakes were my face. Such a beautiful hotel, Thank you Kensington Place for a wonderful stay!

My husband and I stayed here for five nights at the beginning of our South Africa adventure. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly attentive. It is in a beautiful location set back from Cape Town, and only minutes from Table Mountain. Quiet, peaceful and private. Our room was contemporary, clean and cozy. I could not fault the staff. They couldn’t do enough for us. I didn’t even have to do my own ironing. I was told we don’t iron on holiday. They were also very informative and recommended several restaurants to eat and booked these for us. The food was wonderful, especially the breakfast. My favourite was the eggs benedict with smoked salmon (florentine) and the fresh fruit. If you are looking for a unique retreat at the foot of Table Mountain this is definitely the place to be. I would highly recommend it.

I wish I could live at Kensington place! The location was fabulous, being set back from the hustle and bustle of the city in the garden district with lovely views. The staff were top notch (Mathias, Hope, Gillian, Bright, Nikki to name a few) in their friendly nature and being helpful in terms of navigating the city and any of my needs at the time. I absolutely loved my spacious and very comfortable room, it's view and the complimentary bottle of wine I received upon my arrival. The food there is also quite amazing! I love the quaint nature of this boutique hotel and would recommend it to anyone. I hope to return one day!

Expectations were high due to previous reviews, but they were exceeded on our first day. This small luxury hotel with 8 rooms only, were set in a beautiful garden with a small outdor pool and a few sun loungers. The location was prime uphill, close to the foot of Table Mountain. We were embraced by a warm welcome at check in and served a glass of sparkling wine while waiting for our room to get ready. ||The weather was nice and sunny, so we enjoyed a few hours of sun by the pool in the garden.||Our room located on the top floor was spacious with nice interior and balconies on both sides, one overlooking the city of Cape Town. Our housekeeper kept the room and bathroom impeccably clean and tidy. Very Comfortable beds with luxury bedlinen and nice throws. Designer items and contemporary art gives a nice impression and special touch throughout the hotel.||The service was more than five stars from Gillian and Mathias and their team. Breakfast was delicious with a la carte menu and special coffees made to order.|We had lunch one day, and the salads were really tasty. Free water supply in the minibar in our room, which was highly appreciated.||The guys in security were kind and helped with luggage and even with the drivers when Bolt and Uber picked us up or delivered us back at the hotel.||My sister and I agreed, we would be happy to return to Kensington Place one day.

Kensington Place was a perfect little oasis and introduction to Capetown. We stayed here after a week of safari, and our cravings for privacy, luxury, and a bit of upscale city life were certainly met. Our room had the bonus of a fireplace, perfect for the cooler September days. The warmer days were equally as lovely, spent next to the gorgeous, quiet pool. Dining here was outstanding, and it was lovely to have in room options available. Breakfast set up for us on our balcony overlooking the mountains was unforgettable. Very close to table mountain too. We had the most serene visit to Kensington Place!
