“Beware the hotel safe!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2007

people found this review helpful

A party of 4 of us spent one night at this hotel. We put all our valuables in to one security box at reception on arrival. The following morning we collected all our wallets only to find on arrival at our next destination over £300 of currency was missing including US$, British £ and South Afrriacan rand. If yoiu use a security box make sure you lock it yourself and check your posessions on emptying it.

We stayed at this hotel in december 2006 for 3 days and it is terrible. The room was spacious but dirty and the service is very bad, they simply do not care. I would not go back at all.

“Lost potential?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2004

This Hotel is situated on what must be one of the prime locations in Swakopmund , directly on the beach. The Hotel belongs to "Namib Sun Hotels" a sub. of Namibia Breweries. The Hotel is disappointing and the service ?...bad to "dont - care" The rooms are in need of rennovation. Surely the owners , Namibia Breweries, one of the countries largest concerns can do better than this? And the price?.....definetly over-priced for what is offered.

“Down-to earth hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2004
18
people found this review helpful

Nice location directly on the seafront (some 300 meters from the city center), clean rooms. Don't expect anything like a lodge, it is rather a hotel that caters for groups of tourists and business people. We were quite disappointed at first, having spent the previous nights in a beautiful lodge, and now found ourselves down to earth in foggy Swakopmund. Though, there was nothing wrong with the hotel, apart from the fact that some little details could be improved, as e.g. the taste of the juices and coffee served for breakfast.
