We stayed at the spacious family room, clean, neat and "uncluttered" by too much furniture - just a nice, big floor for kids to do their antics! Kids had comfortable beds, which were sleeper couches we opened for them for the night, or when we came late housekeeping did it for us. Parent's bed was just another story! It was... More

Staff were friendly, breakfast good and great service room was excellent. We also found that it was safe to walk around at night. It is conveniently situated very close to a mall/shopping center, pubs etc. Had a small mishap with a very expensive leather sandal of mine and was pleasantly surprised that they had a shoe repair place in the...

The hotel is clean and rooms quite small. The rooms are equipped with your basic necessities. On the positive side, the views are great. Breakfast was good as well. Don't expect too much but its not the worst either. Walls in the room are a bit thin.. you can hear your neighbor in the shower. I enjoyed the stay otherwise.

This hotel has a strange set up as there are some rooms out the back so you have to walk through the car park. Overall it was ok.... The breakfast was fine, staff were friendly, the wifi/internet was not so fine, the room was clean and it was safe and well-located. Walvis Bay was quiet in September though. So there... More

stayed here on a business trip to visit the seaport and this is an OK basic hotel if you need to be in the town, else drive up to Swakobmund (ca 30km up the coast) as the views, selection of hotels and places to eat are infinately better and more plentiful. You will almost undoubtedly arrive by plane from Windhoek,... More

This place is a dump and should be avoided at all costs! On checking in to the hotel I arrived at my room only to be overwhelmed by the stench of vomit in the room.
