"Strand Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 5 Sep 2023
"The Strand Hotel had rather a corporate feel to it. There was actually a business conference taking place there during our brief stay.

The room was good, however, some of the power points did not work and we were unable to book into one of the hotel restaurant of our choice on one night, even though we were guests.

At breakfast, we ordered eggs with mushroom and tomatoes. The latter were both served cold as we hadn't asked for them to be heated. Most strange !" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Strand Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Sep 2023
"The hotel is beautiful, rooms too and very well located.

All the rest was terrible, bathroom water without pressure. The water is very difficult to put on the right temperature. All the hotel and especially the restaurant (breakfast one) was simply cold (we need to be inside the restaurant with polar clothes). The manager of the restaurant was very unpolite and to get any information about the country is impossible.

Simply horrible.

I told all this in the check out." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Strand Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 24 May 2023
"Great hotel . The hotel is new, so it's very clean and comfortable.

We stayed in the Luxury room sea facing, it was very comfortable and well appointed, only criticism was sea view was mainly of the car park.

Location is perfect next to the ocean, very easy to get to, with very easy parking and walking distance to shopping and restaurants." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Strand Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 17 Apr 2023
"This was a modern hotel in a great location with a good selection of eating and drinking places over and above the breakfast that was included.

The oysters in the Ocean Cellar restaurant was delicious!

They have a vehicle available for guests for drop off/pick ups around Swakopmund - free of charge, just have to tip the driver - and we used it quite a bit, especially as we wanted to visit a micro brewery as well as a small gin distillery slightly out of town (Namib dunes brewery https://namibdunes.business.site/ and Stillhouse Gin http://www.stillhouseatlantic.com/ )" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
