Overview

2Inn1 Kensington is situated in Oranjezicht, a fashionable city suburb close to the centre of Cape Town.

2inn1 Kensington

We can't speak highly enough of this hotel! It is run by the friendliest managers, who offered the best customer service we've ever encountered to make our stay in Cape Town a success. They have the perfect blend of efficiency and friendliness so you know they'll do what they've promised, but without the "stuffiness" you sometimes get in high quality hotels.

2inn1 Kensington is probably the best place i have ever stayed at in my life. The following staff: Klaus, Chris, Kenneth and Claire couldn't have done enough for us. The hotel is very clean and serves great breakfast. The sundowners and dvds were a b rilliant experience. I would give a rating of 12 out of 10.

2inn1, I cannot recommend highly enough. The owners sorted everything out for us from dinner reservations to taxis. The hotel itself was fantastic with superb touches from free sundowner drinks to giving us a packed lunch as we missed breakfast for o ur flight to Johannesburg. It was 1 of the nicest places we've stayed in.

We couldn't be happier with the accommodation and warm welcome we received at 2Inn1. We had a great start to the vacation. The staff were very knowledgeable about the local area and suggested good restaurants. We also had two great daytrips, down to Cape Point and up to Kirstenbosch. The day in-between these two days was rainy so we headed down to the V&A waterfront which is a bit commercialized for our taste but we still managed to pick up a few souvenirs. Highlight: Standing by the ocean in the early morning mist just breathing in the sea air then collecting shells on the beach - very relaxing!

"The staff of the 2Inn1 was superb in assisting us with coordinating additional tours and shopping sprees. The Breakfast was delightful, with lots of healthy choices."

In short, we had an absolutely fabulous time and both agreed that it was the "trip of a lifetime". As our vacation was unfolding, we kept saying out loud "what an incredible job Liza did for us". Just awesome. The staff at each lodge/guest house/ho tel we stayed at was comprised of the most courteous, warm, welcoming people who bent over backwards to ensure our experience was top-notch. Each place was beautiful in it's own rway and we loved the fact that each location we stayed in was different. That was exactly what we wanted. It was great going from a Private Game Lodge in a safari setting to a beautiful spa on the river where we got the royal treatment. We then flew to Cape Town, the 2Inn1 was amazing (Klaus the owner could be the nicest man we ever met).
