We loved dinner at the tug. Swakopmund is also a great base for adventure in its own right.
We kayaked with seals this trip and offroaded through the dunes down to sandwich harbour on our previous visit." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

It was cold and windy on the coast so we were happy to find hot water bottles provided in the turn down service.
Laundry service is reasonably priced and quick." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

Only downside is that the buildings that the rooms are housed in are wooden only so very cold (day and night) and did creak quite a lot.
The hotel staff did bring hot water bottles around at bedtime though which was amazing!" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

I immediately complained and got then a sunny room overlooking the street. The hotel was not fully booked at all. So...
We enjoyed the hotel in the end. Nice rooms and very good breakfast." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"The Delight review"
We found the town of Swakopmund quite depressing and lifeless (could be as a result of covid curfew), so one night could have been enough." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"The Delight review"
The rooms were large, modern and clean.
The first room (number 37) was very noisy at night due the adjacent laundry which operated throughout the night.
Service was mixed and ranged from friendly and helpful to rude and apathetic (particularly on the Sunday).
Expert Africa offered to move the reservation to an alternative hotel which in hindsight we should have accepted despite being tired after the journey.
Breakfast was good" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"A Delightful stay in Swakopmund"
