I loved it! Its an old beautiful historic building. Staff was great! Short walk to town, grocery, local restaurants, the strand. No fridge in the room, which would be nice, otherwise perfect. Breakfast is included and had a nice selection. Great service! Highly recommend.

The best family vacation in years.
Great Hotel and Location. Not crowded during Xmas and personalised service. They arranged and booked successfully all events like skydiving, quad riding in the desert dunes, kayaking with dolphins etc Swakopmund has so many activities for the family and one of the few places in the world. The Hotel was integral in arranging the activities.

Historic hotel with modern comfort
A wonderful stay, very comfortable rooms, serene and the sound of the poolside fountain was very relaxing. Excellent and friendly staff, wonderful food at the Platform 1 restaurant as well as a top notch breakfast buffet. Highly recommend the Swakopmund Hotel above all others here.

Historic hotel in centre of Swakopmund
Nice historic hotel in Swakopmund. Rooms large with nice balcony overlooking pool. Food good but service little slow if you order from the al la carte menu. Good location for visiting the town or passing through.
