Airport transfer was R800 which we were not told of in advance. May be cheaper to take an Uber/ Bolt

Very clean and spacious rooms. Excellent Breakfast. Quiet and safe area. Staff were very friendly and helpful (especially Sam).

One Kensington was immediately easy to fall in love with. Set in a very tranquil area of the Cape Town CBD, this is a sparkling hidden gem that I'm thankful I stumbled upon on Booking.com. It was a last-minute booking for me as my previous accom plans fell through, but I'm glad it worked out how it did. Everything about both rooms (regular and deluxe suites) was perfect, clean, and tasteful. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the hostess was a whole vibe.

Incredible place from the moment you step foot inside. This paired with incredibly friendly, helpful staff. We loved the breakfast and genuinely felt so well taken care of while staying there. I would go back in a heart beat!

Clean rooms very hospitable friendly and knowledgeable staff Specially julia, she took really good care of us during our stay and make sure we had a comfortable stay. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The pool area is gorgeous with mountain view and sun beds. Great location of the hotel, walking distance from long street. The hotel is very well maintained , clean and great interior/exterior. Definitely coming back for this amazing service.

This is a beautiful, newly renovated hotel - the staff members are extremely friendly, the breakfast is delicious and the room is very comfortable. We stay in the Penthouse apartment which has generous space. The hotel is located in a quiet but convenient neighbourhood. We highly recommend this hotel and will come back if we visit Cape Town again

The pool is due a freshen up, as its not up to the Same standard as the hotel. However its still a lovely pool!

This hotel is just perfect. Interior is beautiful and all the original features have been restored perfectly. I would say the pool is in need of a renovation, but other than than an amazing hotel, in an amazing area, with amazing views and amazing staff! Highly recommend!

I’m struggling to recall anything I didn’t like - I could mention that there were no decaf coffee options in the room or at breakfast, but there were so many other choices, this wasn’t an issue and, if I’d asked, I’m sure this would have been resolved.

A tranquil haven yet close to all the hustle and bustle of the waterfront which is just 15 mins away by taxi. The property is beautifully curated to a high standard. Luxurious toiletries, delicious snacks and a soft robe and slippers bring a spa quality to the stay. The pool was tempting but I preferred to laze on the lounger and gaze up at the amazing view which I’m pretty sure was Table Mountain. It’s been a long time since I stayed anywhere that gave a turndown service and it was a delight to come back to a room and bed made ready for a cozy night’s sleep. I shouldn’t have been surprised really as service and care seem to be the qualities behind all the decisions. I am already planning my return visit.

Overall the property was great but a couple of things we felt were missing…a waste bin in the bedroom, blind in the bathroom (as people could see from the pool area), a full length mirror in the bedroom and some sheer curtains for changing etc. Only menial things but it would take the property from great to excellent.

The aesthetic of the property was great and the ground very beautiful. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The building felt secure with security gate and gated private parking. The breakfast was lovely with a choice of continental and cooked options.

Parking is a bit challenging, and needing the staff to open the gate instead of being able to do it ourselves was a bit of a hassle.

Lovely decor and design, beautiful views, and our room was fabulous.

I travelled to Cape Town with my mum to celebrate my birthday and staying at One Kensington Boutique Hotel made our trip even more memorable. My mum fell in love with the hotel, from the incredibly spacious and well furnished rooms to the gorgeous scenery and beauty surrounding us due to the home being nestled perfectly in an ideal location. It truly was a special stay, everyone was extremely attentive and made sure that we were always comfortable and well looked after. I would definitely recommend One Kensington Boutique Hotel to any family and friends.

Nothing - it was divine!

The rooms are beautifully decorated, the property is welcoming and a home from home. It’s an extremely comfortable stay with everything you need, and the staff went over and above to accommodate our requests. Thank you to Sam, John, Julia, Thobela and the rest of the staff for a great visit.
