If you like authentic and rustic, then this your ideal hotel. The staff were very friendly and made the stay more bearable. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The Platform One Restaurant was nice but there was a rustic smell that to put me off. The breakfast was very impressive, but was unable to enjoy it. The casino offered... More

This region of Namibia is very austere and lonely. However, the Swakupmund Hotel is a refreshing oasis in the desert. The rooms are nice and big and the restaurant buffet is very wonderful. I enjoyed my stay here and would go back again! More

This hotel can be considered as an ordinary 3 stars in all prespectives, service, food, swimming pool, cleanliness ... etc. It was a stay for a couple of days & it was really awful. It is very expensive for the type of service they are providing. Namibian people either don't know why this hotel is so expensive!? In general, I... More

My first time visit to Swakopmund, and we spent the night at Swakopmund Hotel. We received a warm welcome from the team at the reception – a cool drink as we filled in the necessary paperwork. We had a brief tour of the hotel and the overall ambience of the hotel was quite cool and relaxing. I liked the restaurant... More

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Swakopmund hotel over the past weekend. The staff members were extremely helpful and friendly. The check- in was very smooth and we were treated with a refreshing drink upon arrival. Our luggages were collected immediately, and the front desk manager personally welcomed us with a friendly smile and gave us a... More

Although staff are friendly, service was average. The room was below expectation in terms of size and decorated very plainly. Bathroom was a huge dissapointment with no separate shower and rather cramped. Ordered room service which was pleasant and reasonably priced. Breakfast was acceptable and pleasant, but only instant decaf coffee was available. The check-out process was a pain and... More

Definitely the most impressive looking hotel in Swakopmund, this hotel provides a safe choice for a business traveller in this small town. It is probably less suited to family and tourist travellers. As can be expected in older properties in landmark buildings, service left a lot to be desired. Staff were disinterested, and rarely particularly helpful. Breakfast was ok, in... More

The overall appearance of the hotel from a distance looks nice but once you get closer you notice that it is worn and needs some "touch ups". The rooms were very small and a little need of remodeling. The morning breakfast was ok and not much to write about. Poor service. Nobody to help with luggage even if you walk... More
