    We absolutely loved our stay here. The place is beautiful with stylish and modern interiors. It is quiet and simply beautiful. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and the breakfast is more than delicious. I can not recommend this place highly enough. We stayed as part of our honeymoon and were by no means disappointed and neither will you be!

    We loved this hotel. Very friendly host. The rooms were very nice, modern and clean. The pool and area around the hotel was also very pleasant. We got interesting hints to explore the neighborhood. They organized us a very nice table in the test kitchen in Woodstock.

    Amazing amenities, staff was courteous, friendly and went truly above and beyond. The location is great and we felt safe, secure and were a short Uber ride to Long street, waterfront, and a multitude of hikes on Table Mountain and surrounding peaks. Meals were great and left us not wanting to leave the bed and breakfast. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely lovely stay and incredible hosts. We only stayed one night, but the folks at Kensington were incredibly accommodating. They let us check in early at 8am because they had open availability — it was amazing for us to shower and rest from our jet lag! They also upgraded us given they had a nicer room available at the time of checkin. Included breakfast and coffee is a nice touch (it’s delicious too!) and the staff was amazing — security with the taxis, hosts with recommendations, etc. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Also the views and hotel rooms are very trendy and comfortable.

    We had an amazing 4 night stay at Kensington Place during our honeymoon. This hotel was stylish and pristine and the staff clearly paid attention to detail here. We loved that it was in a quieter location and had beautiful views, but it was just a short walk away to some amazing restaurants on Kloof Street or a short Uber ride further into the city. All of the staff were welcoming and so helpful in making recommendations so we could best enjoy our stay in Cape Town. They even surprised us with a bottle of sparkling wine and rose pedals in our room one night to help celebrate our honeymoon. The breakfasts in the morning were also really wonderful. We would highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Cape Town!

    Excellent location and beautiful premises. The attention and service were great from the very beginning, but when my husband and I had a family emergency, all the staff were incredibly gracious and accommodating. We appreciate everything you did for us!

    Kensington Place is beautiful! We have had the most wonderful stay here for our honeymoon, and the staff have been incredible. The breakfast is so lovely (the lux is my favourite!) and I love the little touches - bringing you infused water by the pool, complimentary bubbly etc. Can’t recommend it enough!

    I think the best part about this place is the breakfast and service. We were checked in by Goni and he was so welcoming and genuine - he even remembered my boyfriend's birthday. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and filling. You can have granola, bread basket, coffee, juice, etc. in addition to your breakfast entree which you can eat at the comfort of your own balcony or at their restaurant. I would definitely recommend that you make time to have a nice slow breakfast if you are staying here.

    Kensington Place was excellent! From the location, to the service, the food (breakfast on our private patio was amazing every day), and the room, everything was top notch. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Cape Town!

    We had a great time at Kensington Place. The staff - especially Hope - was excellent. The breakfast every morning was delicious. The entire hotel is such a great. We will definitely stay here again when we’re back in Cape Town. It’s the perfect home away from home and we can’t wait to be back.

    Excellent location, lovely rooms and top class service. We loved our stay here and appreciated all the little extras like hot water bottles in our bed on a cooler night and lots of personalised recommendations.
