The hotel is small and cosy, very comfortable with a beautiful small garden: orange, lemon trees around. What makes it a great stay is the staff! Everyone is extremely nice, very helpful and does a superb job! A special thanks to the breakfast kitchen staff for preparing outstanding omelettes and granola!

We stayed here for the last three nights of our honeymoon in South Africa and were very impressed. It’s a lovely boutique hotel with beautiful rooms and great service. When we arrived we were greeted with a drink and they had also taken the time to make us dinner reservations as we were in Cape Town over a weekend in peak time - very nice touch. They also made a fuss of us with it being our honeymoon, which we really appreciated. It has a very relaxed, grown up vibe and breakfast was lovely; no buffet but a great menu of cooked and cold dishes with all that we tried being delicious! It’s a short drive from the main tourist hub so you have to take Ubers but we actually liked being able to come back to the peace and quiet. It’s also very close to Table Mountain. One tiny nitpick is that we felt the pool could have been a little cleaner, but this did not detract from our sheer enjoyment of our stay. Thank you KP! …

My wife and I had a great one night stay in this beautifully decorated hotel. Only 9 rooms, each one decorated differently. Decor in common spaces right out of a magazine, all done to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Excellent breakfast served outside. But the best part is the staff. Ngony (Spelling?), Jolie and Hope were all super helpful. Chatting with Ngony and having the gin tasting with Jolie were real highlights!

If you want a big hotel with lots of restaurants and bars then Kensington Place is not for you. It's a gorgeous boutique hotel with attentive staff and lovely rooms. We stayed for four nights and were thrilled to discover dinner had been booked for us in some local restaurants for each night of our stay. We walked to three of them in the Kloof Street area and took a very cheap Uber to the other. Nothing is too much trouble for the Kensington Place staff. Breakfasts are wonderful and available all day. The location is perfect - safe and easy to walk around. The V & A is a short Uber ride away and the open top tourist bus stop is within walking distance. If we ever go to Cape Town again, we will certainly stay at Kensington Place and can't recommend it highly enough.
