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!

Our first Corrientes was perfect. Arriving after a long flight we immediately felt relaxed and at home. We ate our evening meal in the hotel. Congratulations for choice and quality. My burger was memorable. Cooked exactly as I asked. Our room was very well appointed with a lovely view of the mountain. The lounge is a fabulous place to return to. It was fairly cool whilst we were there so each evening the log fire was lit. So comfortable and homely It’s a total winner for us.

All parts of our stay were spectacular. Matthias in the evening and Marlene in the day were so, so nice. Beautiful boutique hotel! My wife said at least 5 times that our room was the nicest we ever stayed at!

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 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.
