My family and I stayed here for 10 days, the rooms were great and the location was excellent. breakfast was (average) however given the price one can't really complain. The rooms were a good size and serviced daily. Unfortunately no iron, kettle or bar fridge is provided which would have made the longer stay more enjoyable. That being said as... More

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and it was a very good place to explore Swakopmund. It's next to the city centre, so everything is within walking distance. The bed and shower were good and the room was clean. Only negative thing was that the building is a bit old and noisy. We did hear the staff preparing... More

This is a neat old building and the rooms are lovely. It has the lowest price of any guest house or pension in Swakopmund. Unfortunately, our short stay (we checked out earlier than planned, after only one night) was spoiled because the owner / manager displayed a very unfriendly attitude. The next morning at breakfast, her staff was equally unpleasant.... More

The hotel is located in a quiet street just outside of the city centre, within easy walking distance of the main sights and the shopping area. The room was nice and spacious and very clean. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever had in this class of hotel. The owner was friendly and helpful. The only criticism... More

From my recent experience, I would not be put off by the odd poor review on here. As a previous reviewer says, this is a very well located, good value bed and breakfast and the breakfast is unusually varied and tasty. The hosts were perfectly amenable and helpful when we spoke to them. The rooms were fine without being anything... More

Good value and central. Friendly service. Booking was easy, no advance payments/credit card details required. Rooms were ok, nothing special but comfortable after a long drive. Parking inside walls seems very safe. Breakfast was good and bit different from the usual hotel breakfasts.

After driving 300+ km to get here, it was disappointing to be greeted by a rather rude, unfriendly woman, who proceeded to ignore us to gossip on the phone (it might have been in german but I can still tell gossip when I hear it!). The room was clean and a reasonable size but looked like it had been decorated... More

The owner is extremely welcoming. The rooms are immaculate. The breakfast was the best breakfast buffet we had in Africa. It reminded me of one in Munich This B&B is a a block from the ocean and a short walk to everywhere. I wish we had spent more than one night at this delightful B&B.

An amazingly wonderful surprise! Officially rated at one star I’d give it at least four. No TV, no internet, but a beautiful, spacious, well decorated, spotlessly clean room. Nice pool, great location, and an absolutely fantastic breakfast. Gracious and friendly hosts.
