10/10 Exceptional

Very good value for money and the executive room I upgraded to was well worth it. Friendly and helpful hotel staff and the bar is open til late; so I highly recommend. Splurge on a higher category room as the views are great, offer elevator anccess and they have refrigerators with a small freezer compartment.
The rooftop terrace.

Friendly staff and close to town
Stephen, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was okay, very close to the water but we preferred other hotels in the area more. Considering the cost, I did not feel the accomodation was worth it relative to other places nearby

Awesome time in Swakopmund Namibia

We found our 1st Rm #39 to be extremely cold. We were mived to Rm #11 & with a heater we were much more comfortable. Staff were great!! Had a lovely time in Swakopmund....great town!!

Good place to stay

Great location. Great price. The breakfast could use some more meat options. Comfortable bed.

10/10 Exceptional

The place was clean, the staff was very friendly and they responded quickly to our requests/issues. Clean linen, spacious rooms, working elevator, quiet environment. Same breakfast options throughout our stay - definitely boring.

Well located but some rooms need refreshing

8/10 Very good

Great location

Great location directly opposite the pier. Extensive breakfast buffet. Kind, professional, friendly staff, (except for one guy whose job included wiping down outside railings and furniture, etc, who repeatedly stared inappropriately every time we were coming and going, and did not ever say hello or smile). The primary negative was having no heat in the room, as the evenings were quite chilly. We had to keep our coats on until we went to bed, which made those hours uncomfortable.

8/10 Very good

Great hotel but some Reno’s in some places.

We were a group of 8 people in 8 rooms. Most rooms were excellent however considering we paid the same price for all rooms, some were of lesser quality and obviously older and not renovated. They also had issues with hot water. The rooms in the « older » section should be less expensive
Alena, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property is old and not updated. No amenities in the room. Generally a disappointed but we basically just slept there and did our activities. Would not recommend
Paddy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The check-in was nice and the room looked good. The issue was there was no fan or air con and it was very hot in the room, so we had to leave the windows/doors to the balcony open. This resulted in us recieveing mosquito bites all over our faces and arms. Very unpleasant. The rooms at least need fans so you can keep the bugs out. The shower drain was also blocked so you had to turn it off every minute or so to allow it to drain and not overflow. The breakfast was good. Overall the hotel is nice just needs some final thoughts like fans in the place of having windows open or window screens as there are many mosquitos in the area that will come in if the windows are open. Had more bug bites here in one night than our entire camping tour throughout southern Africa!

6/10 Good

Zentral, aber wenig Flair

Alles sauber und die Lage ist zentral / direkt am Jetty und Meer, aber: die Bilder täuschen einen viel höheren Standard vor. Tatsächlich erhielt ich ein dunkles und sehr hellhöriges Zimmer im Hinterhof mit Parkplatz vor dem Fenster. Die Einrichtung war rudimentär, es gab z.B. nicht mal einen Fön. Das Internet war sehr schwach, weder im Zimmer noch im Frühstücksraum nutzbar. Frühstück war ok (leckere Brötchen, frisches Obst, Eier auf Bestellung), aber der Frühstücksraum hat eher Jugendherbergsstil und auch keinen schönen Blick nach draußen. Empfang und Service wirkten recht distanziert und eher auf größere Gruppen eingestellt.

Staff was really friends and breakfast was fresh and delicious. Everything was walking distance away and staff can advise on multiple activities which you can do close by. Would definitely recommend this place!!
