Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the clean and comfortable rooms with a fantastic ocean view. The helpful staff made my experience even better, although I did find the dining options a bit lacking, especially at breakfast. The location is ideal for enjoying some peace and quiet while still being close to attractions, which was a plus. However, the Wi-Fi being paid was a minor inconvenience.
My stay was pleasant overall, with clean and impressive rooms featuring fantastic views and comfortable amenities. The service was decent, although it didn’t always meet my expectations. The location was ideal, allowing quick access to both Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, making my travel really convenient. However, the dining experience was underwhelming, and the breakfast could have been better. All things considered, I felt it offered great value for money.
This hotel offers a beautiful view of the beach and sea, and the rooms have a very good setup. However, the lack of opaque curtains can make night-time sleeping a bit tricky. The service is exceptional with helpful staff who go the extra mile. The location is peaceful yet close enough to drive to nearby attractions, making it quite convenient for exploring the area.
The hotel offers a unique experience with its room setup, feeling more like a cozy apartment than a conventional hotel room. While the cleanliness left something to be desired, the service and management create a very welcoming atmosphere. However, the remoteness of the location can be a downside for some, given the distance to nearby towns. Overall, it’s a mixed bag with its pros and cons.
I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be quite a mix. The rooms were large, clean, and had a warm homey feel that I loved. Despite its charm, the service left something to be desired, as I had to remind staff about my requests. The location is a bit remote, but it's perfectly situated between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, which I appreciated. The dining was decent, though breakfast was a bit basic. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but a few improvements could make it much better.
