Innenstadthotel in historischem Gebäude

Hotel im Gebäude des alten deutschen Bahnhofs von Swakopmund. Garten und Pool, schönes, großes Zimmer mit direktem Ausgang zum Pool. Gute Parkmöglichkeit (unbewacht). Gutes Hotelrestaurant, vergleichsweise preiswert. Sehr freundliches und gut ausgebildetes Personal. Innenstadt und Strand in 5-10 Minuten fußläufig erreichbar.

I loved it! Its an old beautiful historic building. Staff was great! Short walk to town, grocery, local restaurants, the strand. No fridge in the room, which would be nice, otherwise perfect. Breakfast is included and had a nice selection. Great service! Highly recommend.

Gutes Hotel mit Renovierungsbedarf

Das Hotel lebt vom Charme des alten Bahnhofsgebäudes und der Nähe zur Innenstadt. Die Außenanlagen sind sehr schön und die Mitarbeiter aufmerksam. Die Zimmer sind gut eingerichtet, allerdings merkt man den vorhanden Renovierungsstau. In den kommenden Jahren sollte eine Renovierung stattfinden.
