Agree with everything kat2551 says below. My wife and I kicked off our honeymoon with a 5 night stay at KP before moving on to Mauritius. It was the perfect spot for winding down after the hectic wedding build up. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt thoroughly spoiled. I can't fault KP at all and I am extremely... more

We booked Kensington Place for the first few days of our honeymoon after extensive research of various hotels in the area and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is stylish, sophisticated and oozes boutique-chic!! We arrived at 9am after an overnight flight from the UK. We were immediately greeted by the manager, who greeted us by our first names and offered... more

We ended off our trip to South Africa with two nights in Kensington Place. Beautiful location at the foot of Table Mountain, very trendy, but at the same time very comfortable. more

Was nervous about this place being a bit out of town but in hindsight I think it is better especially if you have a hire car - you can also easily and fairly cheaply get taxis in the evening as well. Hotel is small but beautifully decorated with all mod cons. The smell of orange blossom and jasmine hits you... more

Kensington Place (KP) is a great place to stay when in Cape Town. It is not in the center of town (but not far) but that, to us, was a good thing. You can walk down the road to some stores and restaurants and you can take a taxi to the other parts of town. The hotel is situated right... more

Kensington Place is located in a great area near to the city bowl but a little up on the mountain so you feel you are away from the hustle and bustle and can truly relax. The rooms are lovely with a fair amount of space, large, comfy beds, flat screen tvs and free wireless internet. The design is well thought... more

There isn't much I can say which hasn't already been said in reviews for Kensington Place - a truly exceptional hotel in spectacular surroundings. The rooms were immaculately presented, with contemporary design and lots of nice additions, like a flat screen TV, iPod dock, laptop and free wireless in the room, etc. Many small touches made the stay even more... more

You are making a huge mistake if you choose not to stay here! My wife and I briefly visited some of the other highly recomended hotels in Cape Town for a fun comparison and really, there is NO comparison to the elite Kensington Place. The service is truly sensational with an exceptionally friendly "service first" attitude while doing everything and... more

Kensington place is a gem in the foothills of Table mountain. The rooms were lovely and the service fantastic. Personal recommendations from staff of things to do were helpful, for example Sasha told us about the open air concerts at Kirstenbosch on a Sunday evening - we went along with a picnic and had a great evening out with the... more
