Strand Hotel Swakopmund

We booked the junior suite at the Strand Hotel at the last minute through Expedia after we decided to travel to the Skeleton Coast on a whim. Don’t miss this hotel! It was worth every penny. The accommodation and service are 5 star! The breakfast selection is not to be beat. There are many dining options on and off property. The concierge recommended a guided tour of Sandwich Harbour, booked the tour for us and set up transportation. It was phenomenal! The massage at the spa was fantastic. The room with a balcony view of the ocean was stunning. No detail is missed at The Strand Hotel. I highly recommend it!

On our 2 dining experiences the noise level by the drunken patrons from East Asia was unbearable. It ruined our ability to have a quiet dinners where we could have meaningful conversations. I would not eat there again. See rating for staff and service. The rating was heavily influenced by the loud patrons.

Love the hotel and the city! Only complaint is all of the aggressive street peddlers that approach as soon as you step off of the property. The hotel needs to do something about this. I was interested in browsing the craft market during our 4 night stay, but the peddlers made us steer clear of the area.

The hotel charged me an addition $200

The hotel was spectacular. I was hesitant about the price, as we are generally low-key travelers that enjoy the basics in life. However, the food, service, and property conditions made everything easy, enjoyable, and convenient. The treat of the accommodation was worth every penny. We stayed four nights after trekking through Namibia.
Parking availability is a big factor that we chose this property, which did not disappoint. The restaurants were excellent, the breakfast provided every possible food option, and hot water was available continuously (no staggering showers for the family). Catering to comforts of an international clientele was definitely well thought out.
From our room, we could see the daily visits from dolphins in the lagoon, which was an unexpected treat! The water was freezing, but our daughter still enjoyed a wonderful day at the beach in winter! Overall, an upscale, safe, and convenient location for all of our travels in the area.

TV and lights turned on and off at the same time every night waking us up. We spoke with management and asked to change rooms and they said they would have someone go and fix the problem but they never did. It was off-season and the hotel seemed like it had plenty of vacant rooms. Bottom line, 3 nights in a row with little sleep. Do not recommend!

Ok accomodation for in the city.

Probably the friendliest staff I’ve had at a hotel.

Some of the bathroom fittings need to be repaired, otherwise beautiful room, professional and friendly hotel staff and great location.

Sehr schönes Hotel an schöner Lage am Meer.
Freundlich, sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und praktisch.
Gutes Frühstücksbuffet

Very nice hotel overall. The rooms we had were a bit worn but still quite nice. The public areas were also very nice and in good repair. But where The Strand shined is the staff. Everyone from drive-up to drive away was so very nice. A special shout out to Zena, Thank You for everything. Overall we had a delightful stay and will stay again when we are back in Swakopmund.

Great people, from the doorman to the front desk to the restaurant staff to the room staff. Great beach views and very calm vibe.

Great place

Lovely spacious suite, the restaurant and bar staff were very good, however some reception and service staff let overall service down as we made a few requests like ice in our room which never arrived, bar fridge was not replenished once in 3 days, food in all the hotel restaurants was great!

No hesitation in staying there again.

Super Interieurs und äusserst nettes Personal!
Das selbstgebraute Bier hat meinem Mann besonders gut geschmeckt!

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im 1. Stock, ohne Balkon. Darunter befand sich ein Imbissstand und der Essensgeruch kam natürlich bei geöffnetem Fenster ins Zimmer. Wir beschwerten uns daraufhin und man bot uns ein besseres Zimmer an. Sofort sehr zuvorkommender Service.I

Excellent hotel well located

Beste Wahl in Swakopmund, hervorragender Service, wertschätzende Mitarbeiter, wunderbare Restaurants. Wären doch nur alle Hotels so ...

Best choice in Swakopmund, excellent service, appreciative employees, wonderful restaurants. If only all hotels were like this...

Tolle Lage direkt am Meer, super freundliches Personal, das einem bei jedem Problem geholfen hat, leckeres Essen mit großer Auswahl in verschiedenen Restaurants.
Die Zimmer waren sehr schön und sauber, wenn auch zu dritt recht klein, aber für uns ausreichend.
Insgesamt haben wir eine wunderbare und erholsame Zeit in Swakopmund verbracht.
