Clean, safe, comfortable property. Good breakfast and excellent service.

Our room did feel quite small though and didn’t have any windows, although it had ceiling skylights so it wasn’t dark

Walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach

We stayed here for six days to chill out and explore Swakopmund and the surroundings and it was awesome. Feels a bit like staying in the country with friends. Excellent restaurants in the town eg Jetty, Tug, Hansa Hotel lunch, Village Cafe - all not to be missed! Also enjoyed trip on Walvis Bay lagoon to see marine animals and trip into the rocky desert to see desert springbok, jackals, welwitchias and other plants and spectacular rock formations.

Tolles Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis

Das Management zeigt aufrichtiges Interesse am Wohlergehen des Gastes. Das ganze Konzept inkl. Sicherheit überzeugt (inkl. Übergabe eines Notfall-Handys und Funksehnder für Eingang und Auto-Einfahrt). Klein, einfach und toll in der Leistung. Diese Unterkunft kann ich guten Gewissens weiter empfehlen und würde in Swakopmund jederzeit wieder dort buchen.
