"Strand Hotel review"
We arrived hungry so we had a late lunch at the hotel's fish and seafood restaurant. The menu was vast and we had such a wonderful meal that we decided to return there for dinner on the same day!
We thoroughly enjoyed the cool air as a respite from the heat of the desert and it was lovely walking around the town enjoying the mixture of new and old architecture." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Strand Hotel review"
All the hotel staff we encountered were exceptionally friendly and gracious - the recruitment policy is working well.
Our room was beautiful with fabulous views over the ocean - we were lucky enough to see 5 bottlenose dolphins swimming directly beneath us. We loved walking oceanside and enjoyed evening meals in two of the hotel restaurants. The breakfasts were generous and excellent quality.
It was hard to leave!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Strand Hotel review"
It feels like a hub of the city, with beach activities and weddings and everything centered around it. Unfortunately we didn't have any time to explore the city itself.
The restaurants are great -- we had lunch at the Farmhouse Deli, dinner at the Ocean Cellar, both were excellent. The breakfast buffet and hot tables was one of the best breakfasts we've had on this trip.
The front desk was very helpful on arrival in helping us unload our stuff and then showing us to the parking lot.
I'd definitely stay here again on a trip to Namibia" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
"Strand Hotel review"
Amazing breakfast buffet with every possible thing you could want. Service at lunch was slow but food good when it arrived. Had dinner in the Brewer and Butcher restaurant in the hotel which was very good as was the service.
Excellent location and easy walk to the centre of Swakopmund or along the seafront." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

Good/easy directions to The Strand with good parking.
Great location I the middle of town. Excellent/friendly welcome and a nice room.
The lobby is beautiful but we think the weather (wet, rain, heat etc..) is very hard on buildings and things in the rooms aren't perfect.
Excellent breakfast. We dined twice at one of the hotel restaurants. We went the first night and it was so good we went back. In a country where so much meat is served it was a joy to eat fish! It is called Ocean Cellar and booking is essential.
We did not use the gym or other hotel facilities." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
