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!

Pros:

Im Hansa Hotel wird noch jene klassische Form der Hotellerie gepflegt, die man heute nur noch selten findet: stilvoll, traditionsbewusst und mit einem Gespür für die kleinen Details. Genau das macht den besonderen Charme dieses Hauses aus. Schon allein die Menükarte im Restaurant liest sich wie ein Gedicht.

Für mich ist das Hansa Hotel bei jedem Namibia-Urlaub der perfekte Abschluss der Reise. Es hat Atmosphäre, Geschichte und eine wohltuende Eleganz, ohne dabei steif zu wirken.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Verbesserungspunkt: Im Restaurant empfand ich es als etwas störend, dass sich die Kellner längere Zeit miteinander unterhielten, während ich gerne noch einen Kaffee bestellt hätte. Das passt für mich nicht ganz zu dem sonst so aufmerksamen und gepflegten Service des Hauses. Insgesamt komme ich aber immer wieder sehr gerne zurück.
