Beautiful traditional features including exposed beams, decorated well and had great facilities. Easy to find and plenty of parking. A lovely peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle of the CBD. Highly recommend! And extra special thanks to Richard who was so welcoming and helpful!

  • Wat een geweldige plek

    10/10

    “One Kensington is een geweldig hotel. Echt een prachtige inrichting en op een hele fijne plek. Overdag kun je lopend de stad verkennen. 's Avonds gemakkelijk met een Uber. Het is er ontzettend schoon en fris (ramen lekker open en de deur ook vaak) en iedereen die hier werkt is ontzettend vriendelijk en warm. Als we ooit weer naar Kaapstad gaan komen we hier zeker terug. Wij waren nu op een rondreis en verbleven hier 3 nachten. Het ontbijt is ook heerlijk en ontzettend fijn dat je kunt aangeven wat je de volgende dag zou willen eten ipv veel te veel. Je kunt zelf aangeven hoeveel en er is ook per dag nog extra keuze mogelijk. Er is ook een heerlijk zwembad maar dat was voor ons nu te koud. Wel lekker in de zon gelegen op de heerlijke ligbedden. Je kunt veilig parkeren voor de deur. Wij kwamen van een andere plek die absoluut niet fijn was maar dit hotel was het einde van onze rondreis en maakte alles weer goed. Ook superdichtbij het vliegveld, ideaal. In de middag wordt er lekker een vuurtje aangestoken in de woonkamer. Echt een plek om helemaal tot rust te komen.”
