One Kensington Boutique Hotel

We stayed over the New Year and had a wonderful few nights. The staff was lovely and made you feel at home. Rooms were large and comfortable and the location is great, set on a quiet street within short walking distance of all that Kloof Street has to offer. Complimentary breakfast was fresh and quite good. We debated booking this hotel originally as there were very few reviews on TripAdvisor, but were eventually swayed by the numerous positive reviews on Booking. Don’t be put off, this is a great boutique hotel and we would happily return.

Not once but twice! I am not one for writing reviews for services that should be rendered as a matter of fact. I firmly believe that if you stay in accommodation you should receive a fair and generous service in exchange for the bill. On this occasion it is with great pleasure that I write a very well earned five-star review. The house itself is beautiful well curated with wonderful facilities and the swimming pool is a surprise and unfortunately I didn't get the chance to use it as I was so busy. However the staff are without a doubt one of the standouts and most remarkable part of this boutique hotel experience. I won't bore you with the details of my unusual requirements while I was traveling suffice to say that the staff went above and beyond specifically Sam and Julia to assist me with a very unusual request Julia I remember when home and fetched her personal laptop for me so I could complete a project that came to life while I was on holiday and traveling with out any of my own computers. I stayed in two other five star accommodation properties in Cape Town and had asked if it was possible to borrow a laptop or use a workstation somewhere in the building and was resembly refused it was only at the one Kensington property where the staff helped me to such a level. The property felt homely yet sophisticated in the design and the Victorian interiors are beautiful and it is so quiet and peaceful in the house. I slept deeply and comfortably for the first time in a long time traveling for business.
