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.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kensington place. Our room was modern and had a spacious balcony with amazing views of Table Mountain. The breakfast was fantastic, could be served to the room, and was available late for those of us who like to sleep in. The service was also outstanding - they had plenty of suggestions, were very attentive, would put hot water bottles in our bed at night, and would offer to send tea up to our room when we got back from dinner. The lobby and grounds are also beautiful. It was too chilly to use the pool, but we enjoyed sitting around the fireplace. The area is very quiet and peaceful, and was convenient for exploring the rest of Cape Town.
Our only two (small) criticisms are that the pillows were too firm and the bathroom was a bit small (not much counter space for toiletries).
