I absolutely love my stays at The Delight. From the moment I arrive, the staff greet me by name and make me feel genuinely welcomed—it’s not just service, it’s care. There’s a real sense of family here, which is rare to find when traveling.

The rooms are consistently clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with reliable air conditioning that makes a big difference after a long day. Every detail feels thoughtfully taken care of.

What truly sets this place apart is the staff. They go above and beyond to ensure everything is just right, always with warmth and professionalism. Whether it’s helping with requests or just checking in to make sure you’re comfortable, they make the experience personal.

The bar is also a great spot to unwind with a relaxed atmosphere, good drinks, and a perfect way to end the day.

If you’re looking for a place where you’re treated like more than just a guest, The Delight is it. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Very nice rooms and staff was very friendly and helpful. However, we didn’t have any warm water and had to take a cold shower. When we let the hotel know, they just said thank you and they will call maintenance. Not really an apology or something to make up for it.

Modern, spacious and super clean room with a nice balcony.
We were in a room under the roof (room 55) and there were quite loud dilataton noises in the morning and evening when the structure was expanding/contracting with temperature variations.

The staff is super nice and handy.

The breakfast was one of the best ones I had in Namibia.

Location is great with all attractions and restaurants in walking distance.

Oysters and Champagne for breakfast!

Loved this hotel. We were traveling through Swakopmund with plans to stay 2 nights on our way to Sossusvlei. This was one of our best hotels in Namibia. The location is very convenient to everything. The rooms are charming, clean, spacious, comfortable, etc. And the biggest surprise is the incredible breakfast included each day champagne and oysters included!! We would absolutely go back and would recommend this hotel very highly. I look forward to trying their other hotels. You will not be disappointed.

Convenient Location in Swakopmund

We stayed two nights in Swakopmund. Our two daughters (9 & 10) loved the two story configuration. The room decor was something akin to Scandanavian/African to me but I liked very much. Great staff (with a special shout out to Millicent for humoring our daughters). Very nice breakfast.

Style over substance

Boutique style hotel, lots of effort put into unescessary nik naksnaks and design, but someone forgot the basics. No blind on the glass door meant light from the lamp outside the door shining in the room all night. What good is a hotel room that is bright all night long? Requests to turn off the light at night fell on deaf ears. Every different type of bread in the world for breakfast except white. New hotel needs some work to get up to standards. I would leave it a year or two to see if things have improved before returning.

Ideales Hotel für ein paar Tage in Swakopmund

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, so dass man sich gut zu Fuss in der Stadt bewegen kann. Auch für Ausflüge mit dem Mietauto in der Region liegt das Hotel günstig.

Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber. Die Klimaanlage kann an kühleren Tagen bzw. Abenden auch als Heizung genutzt werden. Zudem liefert das Hotel beim abendlichen Turndown Service eine Bettflasche, was das Zubettgehen behaglich macht.

Das Hotel bietet ein reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet. Mittag- oder Abendessen werden nicht angeboten.

Alles in allem ein gutes Hotel, welches wir sofort wieder wählen würden. Einzig Buchungen über Hotels.com scheinen bei der Gondwana-Gruppe gewisse Probleme zu bieten. Wir hatten auf unserer Reise zweimal solche Hotels nicht direkt, sondern via Hotels.com gebucht, und beide Male mussten wir kurzfristig mit dem Hotel telefonieren, um sicherzustellen, dass unsere Buchung nicht kurzfristig storniert wird. Auf einer Rundreise mit sehr eingeschränktem Wifi-Empfang eine gewisse Herausforderung.

L'hôtel The Delight est vraiment à ne pas manquer pour un séjour à Swakopmund ! L'accueil, la décoration, la chambre, le petit déjeuner... Tout est vraiment superbe. L'hôtel est très bien situé car tout est accessible à pied et il dispose de plus d'un parking gratuit et fermé. Le petit déjeuner avec le champagne et les huîtres est un must.
