    The room was tastefully decorated & absolutely perfect with kitchen. The hotel had indeed a marvellous location outside of that everything was fine. The experience was very comfortable and I would love to go back...

    Can’t think of anything.

    Location: the hotel was close enough to a taxi. There were lots of restaurants to eat, like Bacini's that was only 10 minutes' walk away.

    The en-suite bathroom with a luxurious shower and a view of Table Mountain is a total wow factor! As a disabled guest, it made me feel like royalty. The spacious bedroom with its Queen size extra-length bed and crisp white linen was pure comfort. I slept like a baby! Having a flat-screen TV with satellite channels in my room was a great way to unwind and catch up on my favorite shows. I loved that my room had a kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster. It made it easy for me to prepare my own meals. The 80 m2 self-catering Garden Apartment was perfect for me. The combined en-suite bedroom gave me plenty of space to move around and relax. The air conditioning in the room was a lifesaver, especially during the hot summer days. Having a desk in the room was a thoughtful addition, as it allowed me to work comfortably during my stay.

    Personally, I found one feature less enjoyable. Others might still like it, but I felt the air conditioning was a bit too loud for my liking.

    The views from the pool terrace were so stunning that I almost forgot to take a dip. The mix of cultures in the city created a tapestry of art and music. The Clifton beaches were so beautiful, I had to resist the urge to become a mermaid.

    Well, there was absolutely nothing to complain about. It was all so perfect and annoyingly delightful.

    I keep coming back to my favorite place in Cape Town. The staff once helped my elderly parents with a smile. It suits me perfectly with all amenities I need, including a pool. I'll be back for another romantic escape.

    The rooms were so rad - spacious, stylish, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for us party animals, with easy parking and a short ride into town. Elizabeth and Eric were total legends, making sure we had the best time ever!

    Only thing missing was a killer party vibe! It'd be awesome if the hotel had some cool activities for young people like us, like a rooftop bar or DJ nights.

    Gorgeous terrace and pool with stunning views. Elizabeth and Eric were so helpful, hope to return a third time!

    I hated the spacious bathroom and separate small kitchen area. Who needs that kind of luxury?

    Our stay at this guest house was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The room was spacious and beautifully furnished, and the bathroom was luxurious. We had access to a lovely garden area with a stunning view. The location was perfect, close to restaurants and attractions. The owner, Elizabeth, was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this guest house for a truly exceptional stay.

    It is a beautiful property with a private mini kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, terrace, and mini pool. the views of Table Mountain are stunning. the bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was powerful. Elizabeth and Eric were great hosts and always available. Breakfast was delicious with a continental spread. the location is fantastic, just a short walk or Uber ride away from Kloof Street. Kensington Views holds special memories for us as we got engaged during our stay. Cons: N/A.
