We stayed at this really homely guesthouse for two nights, located in a residential area. The owners are so welcoming, rooms are spacious and breakfast is lovely! You can easily walk to the seafront or into town in less than 10 minutes. Secure parking is also available and the staff can arrange excursions on your behalf.

No A/C, but you don't need that in Swakop. Like most places in Swakop it seems, when you book a double bed you actually get two... More

The Central Guesthouse is a very nice and modern guesthouse in a convenient area of Swakopmund. After several days touring the Namibian deserts it was a real joy to return to the much cooler temperatures and lovely sea air of Swakopmund.  We were warmly greeted by Verna who, throughout our unfortunately short stay of only two nights, was incredibly kind...

The building is austere from outside, but is very nice indeed inside and spotless. We were helped to choose restaurants for dinner, reservations made... More

This exceeded our expectations on all counts. Very welcoming and helpful staff, convenient setting to walk to the restaurants and the sea front. Elegant room with good bathroom, quality linens and towels and an exceptionally comfortable bed. Everything spotlessly clean and polished.
