We loved the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff, the quiet of the neighborhood, comfortable beds, and ease with which we could call an Uber and have one arrive within a few minutes. Easy walkability to Government Street and from there to the V&A Wharf area. Also, they gave us a physical map, which helped us plan routes/etc., rather than having to be too reliant on our phones. Lovely rain shower, but tended to spray the bathroom.

Very nice breakfast, extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice interiors, nice and cosy small pool area perfect for relaxation Only a minor detail: They didn't have proper espresso/cappuchino coffee, that would give the breakfast a nice extra touch of luxury

Good location to explore town, and cute little garden. Kind complementary upgrade. Great breakfast served all day! Ordinary rooms and no attention to details, especially in terms of design. I was hoping for more given the guest house nature of the place, and the prices they charge.

The location is wonderfully tranquil, surrounded by nature yet close to shop and restaurants.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kensington Place. From the check in process, to the breakfast and room, everything was great. Nice hospitality touches throughout and we feel very taken care of. Room is clean with a great view of Table mountain and Lion's Head. Great amenities, comfortable bed. Safe location as well, we were able to walk to the nearby Kloof street. -

We enjoyed the style of the hotel, and the staff treated you as if you were family. The food was lovely, and if you requested something that was not on the menu they made it for you. The only thing that disappointed us was the distance from the V & A waterfront. We had to uber to and from it and this meant we had to add time to our journey if we had booked a restaurant for dinner. It also added to the cost of your stay.

- very helpful staff - great location - little perks (teapot tea and free bottle of wine) - great room - dining area could be improved to feel more upmarket

A very modern and stylish hotel, located in one of the trendiest neighbourhoods of Cape Town, where I enjoyed perfect service, a nicely furnished room and an excellent breakfast. The small pool area in the front yard is perfect to chill a little bit (although the sun goes away in the late afternoon). Unfortunately, the rooms are not very well insulated against noise from the street and from other guests. Moreover, having myself recently stayed in other hotels of the same kind, I can definitely say there is better value for money to be found in this neighbourhood.
