The view from our room was simply spectacular. An executive room, number 4, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and jetty. Next to the jetty is one of two restaurants, the Tug, a few minutes walk and outstanding food and service. The room itself was great, comfortable beds, and wonderful shower with nice water pressure. The fridge was perfect for chilling wine and beer. The elevator was very much appreciated. We had the pleasure of talking to Jolande at reception, who managed to book an excellent tour for us, of the Skeleton Coast and Cape Cross. The other staff at reception were very helpful too, providing us with ice for drinks, and offering tips and answering all of our questions. The ladies at breakfast were simply wonderful, so friendly, and providing excellent service. Some good food choices, and the eggs were always a good way to start the day. We didn't use the bar onsite, as we purchased wine and beer at the grocery store just a few minutes walk away. Swakopmund is a gem by the ocean, and our stay at A La Mer couldn’t have been any better.

This is a great budget-friendly place to stay. It’s conveniently located near many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. As a female traveller, I felt safe. The only downside is the thin walls, which let you hear guests in other rooms and even outside your balcony. Overall, I enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly, helpful staff.

Martina made us feel so special and helped us beyond duty. She even checked to see if we ca wrap our luggage at Walvis on our way back to SA. The breakfast matron and bar tenders were all very friendly and made us feel super welcome. Martina managed to give us a unit with a partial sea view which we thoroughly enjoyed. The best sunsets we from the rooftop terrace. From there we could see the staggered dunes lacing the town in the East up to the lulling ocean in the West. We were able to walk to the jetty, all restaurants and shops and nearest swimming beach. Definitely booking to stay at La Mer again the next time we visit Swakop.

Great location

Great location directly opposite the pier. Extensive breakfast buffet. Kind, professional, friendly staff, (except for one guy whose job included wiping down outside railings and furniture, etc, who repeatedly stared inappropriately every time we were coming and going, and did not ever say hello or smile). The primary negative was having no heat in the room, as the evenings were quite chilly. We had to keep our coats on until we went to bed, which made those hours uncomfortable.

The check-in was nice and the room looked good. The issue was there was no fan or air con and it was very hot in the room, so we had to leave the windows/doors to the balcony open. This resulted in us recieveing mosquito bites all over our faces and arms. Very unpleasant. The rooms at least need fans so you can keep the bugs out. The shower drain was also blocked so you had to turn it off every minute or so to allow it to drain and not overflow. The breakfast was good. Overall the hotel is nice just needs some final thoughts like fans in the place of having windows open or window screens as there are many mosquitos in the area that will come in if the windows are open. Had more bug bites here in one night than our entire camping tour throughout southern Africa!

Well Priced, Nice Breakfast, Staff Need Training!

The good points:
Price, tasty fresh breakfast, helpful, friendly front office, clean light rooms (stayed in new section), decent location to walk to town center, the pier and the beach. The beds were comfortable and the bar open from 1700-2200 on the first floor with a lounge next to it was nice as was the upper roof deck when the sun was shining (not that common during our stay).
The bad points:
Noisy very inconsiderate cleaning room staff. Slammed doors and made noise early in the mornings and came into our room without even knocking.
Noise from neighbors. Not good sound insulation and almost any noise seems to travel.
Very weak wi fi other than at the front office. Frustrating to use if you want to open any web pages.
Group tables in the breakfast room where you are placed right next to strangers without a choice of seating. All seating pre-assigned with name tags on tables so if you are not a larger family, you can count on sharing with strangers which we did not enjoy.
We found the room very cold. Everything is modern with concrete/plaster walls and floors. They did provide a small floor heater when we requested it.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer für zwei Nächte gebucht. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir freundlich von einer netten Dame empfangen, die uns mitteilte, dass wir ein tolles Zimmer hätten, und uns anschließend den Weg zeigte. Das Zimmer befand sich jedoch in einem so schlechten Zustand, dass wir die Schlüssel zurückgaben und kurzfristig eine andere Unterkunft suchten. Das Zimmer war vieles, aber nicht schön – vor allem alt und heruntergekommen. Die Jalousien zur Verdunkelung waren halb kaputt. Einen Aufenthalt dort kann ich niemandem empfehlen, auch wenn die Lage toll ist.

The standard rooms have been welcoming guests for many many years, but they have neither a draft nor air conditioning.

The staff are absolutely amazing, and it is a delight to meet with them.

The hotel has an excellent laundry service (even over weekends), and parking is safe and free.

Upgrading to the newer rooms is well worth the small fee, and are spacious and perfectly serve their purpose. And the roof terrace is a must for a perfect sunset view, one of the best in Swakopmund.

Zentral, aber wenig Flair

Alles sauber und die Lage ist zentral / direkt am Jetty und Meer, aber: die Bilder täuschen einen viel höheren Standard vor. Tatsächlich erhielt ich ein dunkles und sehr hellhöriges Zimmer im Hinterhof mit Parkplatz vor dem Fenster. Die Einrichtung war rudimentär, es gab z.B. nicht mal einen Fön. Das Internet war sehr schwach, weder im Zimmer noch im Frühstücksraum nutzbar. Frühstück war ok (leckere Brötchen, frisches Obst, Eier auf Bestellung), aber der Frühstücksraum hat eher Jugendherbergsstil und auch keinen schönen Blick nach draußen. Empfang und Service wirkten recht distanziert und eher auf größere Gruppen eingestellt.
