Kensington Place is the perfect home base from which to explore Cape Town and the Western Cape. Luxurious but friendly and relaxed, Kensington Place offers comfortable, beautifully decorated rooms, a lovely garden and fantastic food. From the welcome drinks to the minute we reluctantly checked out, the service was impeccable. The location is excellent--just a short distance to all of the restaurants and cafes on Kloof Street and easy Uber trips to the Waterfront, the Table Mountain cable car and beyond.

This was our hotel after completing our safaris in Namibia and Botswana. The staff was truly amazing and the hotel itself was beautiful. The bed was comfortable, lovely room and the food was excellent. The Fynbos soaps and lotions were just delightful!

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!

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Kensington Place!! WOW!!! Their best asset is their staff who provide unmatched service with a smile. The security (both when I arrived and left) felt like old friends, they were just wonderful! This boutique hotel is nestled up against Table Mountain so you feel like you're in a little nature wonderland. I cannot recommend Kensington Place highly enough!! Stay here, you won't be sorry!

Kensington Place – Mathias greeted us. He was very pleasant and the accommodation was quaint. It was close to the airport and rest was needed after such a long flight from the U.S. We had two delicious dinners and a breakfast at the lodging’s restaurant.

A luxury boutique hotel away from the bustle and noise of Cape Town's tourist hubs. Kensington Place has lovely, attentive, knowledgeable staff and great food. Our room was large, with a desk and a sitting area, and always impeccably clean. We'd recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to be somewhere quiet enough for a great night's sleep but only a quick 15 min Uber to the main tourist attractions of Cape Town.

Our first stop on a South Africa tour (we spent 3 nights) and it was perfect especially after a long flight from the USA. Tucked away on a quiet street with views of Table Mountain. You are away from all of the hustle but close enough to get to 5-10 min away. Private and secure. The garden and pool are soothing. We had a beautiful large comfortable modern room steps away from the pool which we enjoyed every afternoon there. The breakfasts are delicious made to order and plentiful! We had one dinner there and the food and service was great. KP is a perfect boutique hotel would highly recommend and stay again if in CPT.

This was our first stop on our first trip to South Africa. We arrived slightly tired from the night flight, and were immediately put at our ease by Hope who patiently discussed our itinerary with us. She gave fantastic advice, helped us make bookings, and made us feel welcome, safe and very happy to be there. We had a lovely room ( no 1) although i think they all share a good view of the Mountain, when it doesn't have it's table cloth on! We were a bit worried about the location which was as 15 min Uber drive to Waterside and 10 mins to the centre of town, but in fact it was perfect. An Uber journey generally sets you back about £5. It is a little oasis and very handy for so many excellent restaurants eg Black Sheep and the Kloof Street house. When Hope wasn't around, Gillian took over and wa equally proactive and helpful. All in all, this is not just a wonderful place to stay it is also a masterclass in customer service.
