Vermeidet es. Mieses Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Der Gast ist Nebensache.
Pros:

Das Bad und das Bett war sauber. Das Zimmer war geräumig. Abendessen im Restaurant: gute Qualität.

Cons:

Dieses Hotel hat das mieseste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, das ich je in Südafrika gesehen habe. Und es ist schlecht geführt. WiFi mies. Fenster (für den Meerblick) mies geputzt. Frühstück: langsamer Service (leider kein Buffet), gängige Brotsorten: aus. Nebenbei wird geputzt und gereinigt. Man fühlt sich als wäre man auf einer Baustelle. Und es zieht überall und ist kalt. Ich hätte das ja gern beim Checkout angesprochen. Mir wurden aber einfach die Karten abgenommen mit dem Hinweis: „All good“, dann schaute die Mitarbeiterin wieder in den PC. Was soll man da noch sagen.

Great location, expensive.
Pros:

The location is great, the beds comfortable and the rooms were very clean.

Cons:

It was very quiet but presume that was due to the time of year we stayed. It was an expensive stay in this respect as not all facilities seemed to be available.

Historic Hotel with generous size rooms with nice views and free secure parking.
Pros:

There was secure free parking. We had a nice view and balcony looking out at Hout Bay. The complimentary breakfast was very nice each day. The room was large and the tub a nice extra feature. Its a historic hotel with interesting photos. The bed was comfortable. Good fish restaurants nearby. Its right on the road to Chapmans Peak Drive.

Cons:

The location was a bit farther from Cape Town than we may have preferred, but is right on the water at Hout Bay. The pool was unheated in May. It was many steps up to get to it, not quite like it is seen in the photos.

Chapmans Paek Hotel - Enjoy The Best That Hout Bay Has to Offer
Pros:

The Hotel is perfectly sited for a commanding view of the beach looking across from the southeast, enjoyment of beautiful sunsets from hotel balconies, close proximity to beach bars and nearby international cuisine restaurants, and for short drives or walks to shops and markets. I have stayed at Hout Bay several times before but never at a finer location. The interior restaurant, bar and lounge areas have the paneled oak charm of a Victorian gentlemen's club and the elevated outside veranda area is a favorite place to pass an afternoon observing the local scene.
Gated guest parking assures the safety of both you and your vehicle. The staff is very helpful and accomodating. Breakfast is cooked to order. Conveniently close to the airport, 35-45 minutes depending upon traffic conditions.

Cons:

The restaurant menu is rather limited and somewhat pricey compared to nearby restaurants such as The Beach Bar and The Dunes Beach Restaurant, both across the street and within easy walking distance. Dario's Cafe, a few minutes' walk away on the same side of the street, serves fine Italian cuisine at quite reasonable prices. Dario's wife is from Italy and runs the kitchen.
