Kensington Place

This small boutique hotel, sitting at the base of Table Mountain, is away from the buzz of the Cape Town waterfront. Its rooms and common areas are charming. The restaurant was also quite good. If you want a quiet place away from the downtown noise, this is the place.

We had a wonderful stay at Kensington Place. The hotel is absolutely lovely and the staff were incredibly attentive. They even rearranged bookings so we could stay in our room until the departure of our evening flight. Highly recommend this small, boutique hotel in Cape Town.

My husband & I searched for a quiet location with personalized attention. This Inn exceeded our expectations. The entire staff was kind and helpful. I want to give a shout out to Marlene, Hope, Niki & Gillia for their warm hospitality. The kitchen & bar did an outstanding job with meals. Prompt service and wonderful presentation. Top notch. Our room was well-appointed, super comfy bed and spacious bathroom. We slept well. The staff made arrangements for wine tours and a guide for the Cape of Good Hope Drive. We were also given helpful information about the waterfront area. Even though the hotel is a distance from the waterfront, Uber drivers are plentiful in Cape Town. We highly recommend this hotel!

We loved our stay in Kensington place! Immediately felt a really warm welcome of the staff. They were all very friendly, extremely attentive and helpful. Every detail is carefully thought through in this hotel. We had an amazing room and little terrace all to ourselves. And our honeymoon special treat was very memorable and much appreciated! Highly recommend this hotel.

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!

We had the most wonderful stay at Kensington Place! From the moment we arrived, everything felt beautifully thought out and welcoming. The botanical Fijn amenities were a real treat, and the heated carpet beside the bed was such a thoughtful touch – it made the room feel extra cosy. The whole building smelt beautiful and the interiors were stylishly designed with a warmth that felt like a true home-from-home. We loved the little turndown touches each evening, which made the stay feel extra special for our honeymoon. The staff were also incredibly helpful with our table reservations and made sure we felt relaxed and safe throughout our time there.

Surpassed expectations, beautifully appointed, delicious food and very friendly staff.

Such incredible staff. Quiet and upscale - small enough to feel like a home.

My husband and I stayed at Kensington Place for 5 nights. It was absolutely wonderful! The location is beautiful, super close to Table Mountain as well as excellent restaurants on Kloof Street. Every person working there was extremely helpful, attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best it could be—from making dinner reservations for us, providing tasty afternoon snacks with tea and little extras the whole entire time. Kensington Place is luxurious and comfortable all at the same time. We felt welcomed and truly hope to return here again! Thank you!!
