Schöner Stadtaufenthalt
Pros:

Sehr aufmerksames Personal: beim Parken im Hof, beim Frühstück, in der Bar und bei Koffertragen. Geräumiges Zimmer. Gepflegter Garten. Ein Haus mit Geschichte.

Cons:

Parkplätze im Hof sind etwas eng für große Pickups, aber durchaus machbar.

Highly recommended!
Pros:

Excellent hotel! Stayed here for 3 nights during my trip in Namibia and really enjoyed it.
Asked for a parking spot in advance and they had a secure place for me when I arrived, which was great.
The staff was very welcoming and professional, and helped me with a schedule change for an excursion I had planned.
I got the Senator Suite and it was wonderful. Very spacious (perfect for doing some workouts between other activities) and comfortable, with lots of storage room. I also enjoyed the bathtub and the shower.
Breakfast buffet was nice and complete, and the offer at dinner time is very generous, and my food was always delicious. They have lots of healthier choices and even “regular” dishes come with many vegetables, which is great.
The hotel’s style and decoration were also pleasing, and tables at breakfast and dinner were always spotless and well presented.

Highly recommend this hotel. It’s also very well located to explore Swakopmund, go for a run along the beach or on an excursion (the one I took, for kayaking with the seals and go to Sandwich Harbour, they came pick me up at the hotel, so I even didn’t have to drive that day).

Perfect!

Cons:

Everything was great!
