Overview of 2inn1 Kensington

South Africa, Cape Town Central, Cape Town

2Inn1 Kensington is situated in Oranjezicht, a fashionable city suburb close to the centre of Cape Town. The guesthouse retains an old Victorian charm while incorporating stylish modern renovations, and features a tranquil garden where you can enjoy peace and quiet as you escape from bustle of the city. The 10m solar-heated pool is the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon, or if the weather is chilly, take a turn in the hot jacuzzi.

With views of majestic Table Mountain and Lion's Head, and overlooking a private forested estate, 2Inn1 Kensington is enveloped in its peaceful and beautiful surroundings. However, vibrant Kloof Street with its restaurants, coffee shops and boutique shops is within walking distance of the guesthouse and many of Cape Town's attractions are right on your doorstep.

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 brilliant experience. I would give a rating of 12 out of 10.

We enjoyed our time in Cape Town at 2Inn1 Kensington. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the rooms were nice. I would definitely consider staying there again. We ate well in all locations, many great restaurants. The staff at the Inns always suggested good restaurants.

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 our flight to Johannesburg. It was 1 of the nicest places we’ve stayed in.
