We enjoyed 4 fantastic nights at Kensington Place in July. It really is the best kind of boutique hotel - this place makes you feel like you're the house guest of some close friends with the most amazing taste! The architecture and decor is stunning. It's contemporary with quirky touches, and unlike many other trendy interiors, is really practical and... more

Kensington Place lived up to every glowing review we read before we booked it as part of our honeymoon trip to Africa. After our adventures on the banks of the Zambezi we were looking for something cool, hip and chic in Cape Town and Kensington Place did not let us down. The staff were discrete and professional, the hotel itself... more

We absolutely loved our stay at the Kensington Place hotel in Cape Town. We arrived completely jet-lagged in the morning, and were greeted with friendly and helpful service, along with champagne. We were promptly taken to our room and had breakfast brought to us on our private terrace - the perfect way to start our trip in South Africa. The... more

We stayed at Kensington Place at the beginning of our road trip through the winelands and the garden route, and what a wonderful welcome to South Africa it was. The room was very chic and comfortable, and included some very nice touches such as the provision of an ipod speaker system and a laptop with wireless internet connection as well... more

We were more than pleased with our stay at the Kensington Place. It's a very hip, modern, comfortable boutique hotel (8 rooms), in the residential neighborhood of Higgovale. It's a 5-minute walk to the top of Kloof Street, with many shops, and which leads into the center of town. The rooms are quite comfortable, and the proprietors and staff are... more

We considered all the Cape Town hotels - from the Mount Nelson onwards- & used tripadvisor to help us decide. We're glad we did. Kensington Place is fantastic. The hotel is really well designed, with good fittings & high quality furnishings. Only 8 rooms makes it intimate & focussed on service. We had room 2 - excellent. Good size, excellent... more

My wife and I stayed at Kensington Place for four nights earlier this month. We are fortunate to be able to travel internationally and to generally stay where we wish. In all of our travels, Kensington Place is the finest small hotel we have had the pleasure of staying in. Sasha and her staff provide pitch-perfect service in every respect.... more

Myself and my girlfriend (29 & 28) are on night 4 out of 6 here in Kensington Place. I CANNOT put into words how fantastic this place is. We arrived late afternoon on a Sunday and were greeted by Michael (wonderful smiling chap!) and the best complimentary champagne we've ever had (its local and they arent allowed to call it... more

We stayed at Kensington Place for three nights at the start of our honeymoon and cannot fault it. The beds were very comfy, great decor and we loved our terrace (where we had our breakfast every morning - highly recommend the muesli and eggs benedict!!). The staff were amazing and we felt that nothing was too much trouble for them.... more

What a wonderful boutique hotel! Fantastic location w views from one's balcony down the canyon to Table Bay in one direction and to the cliffs of Table Mtn in the other. Extremely well-designed rooms, large, w big bathrooms (and tubs) w all the amenities, but what really distinguishes KP is the warmth and attentiveness of the staff. Breakfast is a... more
