Kensington Place

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.

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.

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!

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.

A luxury boutique hotel away from the bustle and noise of Cape Town's tourist hubs. Kensington Place has lovely, attentive, knowledgeable staff and great food. Our room was large, with a desk and a sitting area, and always impeccably clean. We'd recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to be somewhere quiet enough for a great night's sleep but only a quick 15 min Uber to the main tourist attractions of Cape Town.
