"Strand Hotel review"
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

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

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
"Strand Hotel review"
It was nice to have a couple of days relaxing in "Civilization" after early mornings & long days at the Desert Lodge.
Good restaurants, easy to walk into the town.
Although not directly related to the Strand Hotel, we did some fantastic trips in Swakop : Kayaking with Seals & Sandwich Harbour tour, both highly recommended" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

The breakfast was the biggest we came across variety-wise and good quality.
The hotel are happy to arrange trips for you and we went for a half-day dune driving which included checking out the flamingos at Walvis Bay. It was good fun with plenty of stops for the views." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
