Stayed in this hotel for 5 nights at the end of May. We were staying in the 'suite' building across the road from where the reception is. If you do choose to stay in the suite, request for room on the top floor, lower floor rooms are not that good, otherwise just stay in the main building in a sea-facing room, which are small but good.
The restaurant is great, you would need to book in advance as it is very popular. Location is decent, its 10 mins taxi ride to both Camps Bay and V&A waterfront. It does not have a beach so if you are looking for that, you'd be better off in Camps Bay area, otherwise stay in their sister hotel on the waterfront which is the liveliest area in capetown.

A boutique hotel with fabulous views over the ocean, which is only a few feet away from the room windows. Sleep to the sound of the waves. The restaurant is excellent, with similar views, although must reserve way ahead for dinner, since it is apparently usually full. First rate service. Only downside is that it is out of the city, with nothing else in easy walking distance. Have to take a cab to other restaurants etc. Go to the Victoria and Alfred (not Albert) mall on the Waterfront downtown for a selection of great restaurants and incredibly reasonable prices by North American and European standards. Balthazar specializes in fish and has 250 wines by the glass!
I agree with previous reviewers that they should reserve a block of restaurant tables for guests.
