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.

Nice hotel in a great location
Pros:

The location was excellent. The room was nice and clean and spacious and the fact that there was a restaurant/bar on the ground floor was a real benefit, meaning you didn’t have to go ‘out’ every night

Cons:

Most of the staff were wonderful, however I felt the breakfast staff were not particularly engaged

Komen er graag
Pros:

De locatie is top vlak naast Chapmans Peak weg over en he bent op het strand. Ook mooie ligging zwembad.
Helaas 5 dagen regen dan vind ik het hotel beetje somber en het is tijd voor een re-style! Staf is super vriendelijk.

Cons:

De geur van de frituur uit de keuken op de gangen
