Our stay was wonderful. The team was super friendly and we got lots of help to plan our time in Cape Town. The rooms were great and the food was amazing. We felt safe all the time and we would come back any time! 😍

Due to Covid we had to cancel the booking three times, but it finally happened in February of this year. It was well worth the wait. After all these years it is still a fantastically beautiful place to come back to, luxury, comfort, excellent location in a good area of Cape Town. But the most important thing is the excellent staff of 2Inn1 who does everything, absolutely everything, to give the guests a more than good feeling. And year after year, after year, it has not failed, but has maintained top quality for years and even manages to raise it to an even higher level. Keep this up, because that's how you stay the top 2Inn1 you are! Kudos to the staff, not only to Kris, Klaus and Steffie, but also and especially to the local staff. If we go to Western Cape again, we won't have to think about where to stay in Cape Town. We hope to have the opportunity to return to this fantastic place again. Thank you and remember that it is mainly the people who make the place what it is. Peter & Tjeerd/Netherlands…

Coming to Cape Town was not easy the last years, coming to 2inn1 is like coming home to my family. Since more than 10 years we had the opportunity to come to this small (only 7 rooms) wonderful decorated and perfectly maintained boutique hotel. Solar heated swimming pool, inverter battery to cover some of those annoying loadshedding interruptions. Lovely hosts who do not only prepare a healthy and sumptuous breakfast but also will assist you for dining, all leisure activities and give shopping tips. So, it is necessary to book asap! And the whole team is like a family, most of the staff are despite of CoVid working here since more than 10 years. So, we will definitely come back, hoping others will not be faster in booking here.

The accommodation is very nice, the rooms are very well furnished and comfortable, the breakfasts are great. It has a pool and lovely areas outside for enjoying the sunshine. The best thing about this boutique hotel is that the people who run it are so friendly and helpful. We had a great stay. This hotel was booked for us by Africa Travel Resource (ATR) as part of a trip to see South Africa and Botswana.

I stayed at 2Inn1 for the first time many years ago travelling with a friend. I wanted to come back with my family, so we booked first for March 2020, then rebooked for December 2020, then rebooked for March 2021 and we finally made it in March 2022! Through the pandemic the amazing 2Inn1 team did everything they could to accommodate our changing plans. When we finally made it, the welcome was out of this world, like meeting long lost friends. Nothing is too much trouble, restaurant bookings, suggestions for where to go, the best times to go to the beach, what to see in Cape Town, what’s new. Recommendations for guides for Table Top Mountain and Lions Head hikes, just ask Steffi! And always the same lovely welcome on returning after each adventure. Our rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated and provisioned. Having the pool was perfect for chilling between excursions. And the breakfasts are exceptional! Sundowners on the terrace, my favourite part of the day. Thank you 2Inn1, it was every bit as good as I had remembered and very special coming back.…

Finally after 2 long years we have returned to this beautiful boutique hotel at the foot of table Mountain. All the rooms are beautifully designed and the breakfasts provided are plentiful with amazing variety of choice. What makes this place really special though are the owners and staff who are just so friendly and helpful. A truly world class boutique hotel !!! Derek & Jan

Stayed twice previously but on this occasion they were fully booked. Imagine our surprise when halfway hiking up table mountain it turns out our guide (Muki of Muki Ventures) is married to Steffi!!!! After that we just had to pop in and say hello. Steffi and Klaus could not have been more welcoming and it felt like we’d only been there the month before not 5 yrs previously. Renovations are looking great and it was good to see everyone again. Say safe and hope to see you all soon.

Stayed in a luxury room with my honey at the remodeled 2inn1 Kensington in Cape Town and was overwhelmed with the upgrades and six star service. This little piece of paradise had been closed for six months and the results of the upgrades are spectacular. This small boutique inn is nestled next to Table Mountain in a prestigious and very safe part of Cape Town. What’s extraordinary is their attention to detail and desire to be sure our stay was special. The manager, Steffi arranged for a rental car for our next stop in Durban, made an appointment for my honey at the hair salon and surprised me with a birthday celebration. This is our third stay in the past five years and the experience only gets better because the entire staff and owner truly care about the total experience. It’s a great inn with marvelous amenities, but the big plus is the quality of care offer to every guest.…

After undergoing an extensive refurbishment last year 2inn1 is back on the market and ready to party. The redesign has meant the loss of two rooms overall but the creation of new spacious suites, each of which has its own terrace with fabulous views of Lions Head. Exquisite decor and plush furnishings allow you to relax immediately into your sumptuous surroundings. All the charm of the house and the impeccable service is very much evident. One of my favourite hotels in the world. Klaus, Kris, Steffi and all the 2inn1 team as well as thanking you for yet another wonderful vacation I have one word for you all....Bravo! We shall be back!

This was our 7th stay at the 2inn1, and it is now even more stylish after all the work they have had done over the winter. Our room was considerably bigger with a spacious bathroom and more storage space than before. The public spaces are now larger and beautifully decorated. Thankfully nothing has been changed as regards the service, Klaus,Chris,Steffi and Byron are as attentive as always & still manage to come up with excellent new ideas for us for places to visit & restaurants to try. Their aim is always for you to have the best holiday possible, just excellent. Thank you to everyone there.
