Nicely located close to the pier. Lot‘s of restaurants and some shops n foot walking distance. Unfortunately ur room was facing to the main road in front of the building. So traffic noise already in the early morning was a bit unpleasant and shortened our sleeping time.

good value for money

The quality of the service made up for the rather eccentric room design: no bathroom storage space and a toilet door which didn’t fit it’s frame. The location was good and was perfect for a relaxing few days is the great town of Swakopmund.

Kiva hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla

Loistava sijainti rannan ja sen ravintoloiden läheisyydessä! Hotelli ja huone olivat oikein siistejä, mutta kuitenkin perustasoisia, huoneen parvekkeesta plussaa. Aamiainen melko suppea. Hotellin tilaama lentokenttäkuljetus täysin ala-arvoinen: meidät haettiin rikkinäisellä ja pistävästi lannalta haisevalla autolla ja matkalla pysähdyimme huoltoasemalle, ja pysähdys kesti melko kauan. Hotellin vastaanotto kuitenkin ystävällinen ja kivana pienenä lisänä uutena vuotena huoneeseemme toimitettiin ilmainen kuohuviinipullo. Kaiken kaikkiaan voimme suositella hotellia, mutta emme lentokenttäkuljetusta!

Hervorragender Service u. Wohlfühlambiente

Ein Geheimtip. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das hilfsbereite, aufmerksame Personal, riesiges Frühstücksbüffet und die Zimmer in einem sehr komfortablen Wohlfühlambiente. Alles sehr sauber, gepflegt und mit Herzenswärme geführt. Zentrale Lage fussläufig zum Strand, alles sicher. Top Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Kann man uneingeschränkt bestens weiterempfehlen.

Hotel quase na Praia

Ótima localização. Staff atento e educado. Quarto amplo com varanda e um ótimo banheiro! O Hotel tem um Bistrô com boa comida, porém penso que não é muito frequentado. Jantei duas vezes lá e eu era o único cliente!

Good hotel close to water and restaurants

After initial tussle with the reception to get them to accept that we prepaid Expedia (irritating), we had an enjoyable stay. Room was clean, well appointed and the wifi worked well. It is located close to the beach, near the best restaurants and has private, secure, parking. Not much history in the building itself but the name is endearing! Yes, a good place to spend a couple of nights.

Sehr gerne wieder...

Hatten ein Zimmer in der teuersten Preiskategorie gebucht und sind nicht enttäuscht worden. Sehr gute Zimmerausstattung und auch alles sehr neu. Eine kleine Flasche Wein, die recht passabel geschmeckt hat, stand auch bereit - complimentary. WLAN war ungewöhnlich schnell. Tolles Frühstücksbüffet mit reichhaltiger Auswahl.

Wohlfühlhaus in Strand und Zentrumsnähe

Wir haben uns in diesem Haus sehr wohlgefühlt. Der kleine Balkon hat uns den Strand erleben lassen. Vergleichsweise zu anderen Hotels in Swakopmund würde ich persönlich dieses Haus vorziehen.

Nice hotel close to the beach

My husband and I stayed here for four nights while on vacation in Swakopmund. Pros: This is a small hotel within walking distance to the beach and many shops and restaurants. The staff were very polite and the rooms were extremely well kept. We had a nice balcony, which lets you hear the ocean at night, which was very relaxing. Cons: fresh towels sometimes came with an unpleasant smell to them. One time we asked them to change them and they did so immediately. The tvs in the room were also very small.
