    Cozy stay with great vibes

    The room was super comfy, and the atmosphere felt really homey. The staff were awesome, treating us like family. The made-to-order breakfast was a highlight, especially the juices! Just a heads-up, there weren't any handrails on some steps, which made it a bit tricky at times.

    breakfast options
    street noise
    inconvenient location

    The hotel offered an impressive array of breakfast options.

    I found the noise from the street disturbing, which made it hard to relax. Additionally, the location was inconvenient as getting to popular attractions involved long Uber rides. It was frustrating to have to add extra time to our plans, especially when dining out.

    attention detail
    pool area

    This hotel was just a top selection for a date night in Cape Town with decent value for money. We loved the attention to detail, especially the emergency kit and flashlight in the room for load shedding. Make sure to check out the pool area for some nice relaxation time.

    Stylish boutique hotel with amazing views of Table Mountain. Location requires short Uber rides to waterfront. Small pool area could use better maintenance. We enjoyed a walking tour nearby, which was great.

    pool maintenance

    My stay was truly enjoyable, enhanced by stunning views of Table Mountain from my clean and comfortable room. The hotel is nestled conveniently by the mountains, and I found it easy to walk to nearby Kloof Street for dining and shopping.

    The small pool area could use a bit more maintenance to enhance the overall experience.

    I stayed in a Superior Double Room. The view of Table Mountain was incredible! The room was clean, spacious, and had comfy beds with nice linens. The two balconies were a bonus for soaking in the scenery. Plus, I loved the heated floors. It really felt cozy and luxurious. Overall, a good experience in terms of comfort.

    Perfect for a peaceful getaway

    The service was extraordinary. The staff went above and beyond to celebrate our special occasion, even bringing us a complimentary bottle of wine to our room upon arrival.

    It was a bit on the pricey side but honestly worth it.

    table mountain view
    delicious breakfasts
    poor soundproofing

    The room had stunning views of Table Mountain, making it a perfect backdrop for relaxation. Breakfast included made-to-order options that were both plentiful and delicious, enhancing the overall experience.

    The hotel’s distance from major attractions, like the Waterfront, meant relying on Ubers, which could become a hassle over time. Additionally, sound insulation in the rooms was subpar, leading to disturbances from street noise and neighboring guests, which detracted from the peace one might expect from a boutique hotel.

    Kensington Place offered a beautiful and modern environment with exquisite decor, reminiscent of an art gallery. I loved the garden and pool area for relaxation, paired with delicious made-to-order breakfasts. The only mild hassle involved short Uber rides to the waterfront.
