The location is the best in Swakopmund with views over the sea. Beautiful setting, lovely interiors and wonderful staff who really went out of their way to help with arrangements and make the guests feel welcome. Breakfast is great with a big variety to choose from.

The breakfast options are great but service at breakfast was slow. There does not seem to be enough waiters and we waited fifteen minutes for a tea order. Same goes for the station that prepares the smoothies and pancakes. One morning there was only one lady to do both and the guests were cueing up. That said all the staff are very friendly and are trying their best.

Thomas, the porter, welcomed us and offered us drinks while we were being checked in. Good first impression. We found all staff, including restaurant reception and waiters to be super attendant and friendly. Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide variety on offer, even included customized freshly extracted juice mixtures and freshly made flapjack pancakes. Warm breakfast was delicious. Dinner at the steak and beer restaurant was excellent, and we were particularly impressed with the friendly can-do attitude of the maitre 'd. The spa treatments were very good - Bernadette knows her stuff!

Swakopmund lies between the water and the sand with the Strandhotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Location and hotel are a welcome relief for the desert hardeened eye of the road rattled torurist. Swakopmund seemed to be the most „German“ town in Namibia. The Strandhotel is a relatively new hotel in Swakopmund with no dedicated pool; the pool ist the ocean and it offers seals, freshness, relaxation and of course the unavoidable the beach merchants. The rooms we booked were facing the Atlantic Ocean, one was a corner room with windows to each side: perfect! Thanks for the upgrade to this georgeous room. We actually felt like being treated like royals, although we looked stirred and shaken after 7 hours on Namibias roads. The staff actually made us really feel special. We used the excellent seafood restaurant and enjoyed the overboarding breakfast. We had to share some stuff with birds, but, hey, there was plenty of food, why not share... We also used the massage services with almost all massages being excellent, only 1 was lost in translation. Strandhotel provides a perfect place to start you stroll around the city and along the beaches. It is definitely not the most inexpensive option for a saty in Swakopmund, but doubtlessly worth staying. Recommendation: Yes; Value for money: yes, although upper range.

Location was fine . Near by Resturants, catering for different tastes was good. Walking track from the hotel to the Mall was appreciated . The crafts markets nearby was also a good idea. The Children's play ground nearby very good.

I would have wanted a Scale in the bathroom I'm a weight watcher A swimming Pool would be nice. A shop that sells toiletries etc. would be nice. A boutique A hotel Taxi readly available would also be nice.

The receptionists are outstanding, great support, very friendly, they really try to help the customer also for activities or bookings not connected to the hotel, great professionalism!

In general I did not like Swakopmund and I would not recommend any European to go there.. it feels like being in a north East Sea place in Germany and not in Africa.. not so many interesting attractions around I would spend 1 max 2 nights there just to do the trip to sandwich harbor..

The location is amazing. It is the place to be if you're going to Swakopmund, with the beach literally on your front door. Hotel and rooms décor was very nice. Nice staff. Very good breakfast. The fact you have 3 of the best restaurants in town in the hotel is very convenient.

The AC in our room was not working. The hotel provided another room but the AC was not working either. I think it is a central machine for the whole hotel and it was off because they deemed that the weather was already cold. Well, it didn't ruined the experience (specially because of the other strong points), but it did spoiled it a bit.

We loved the location of the hotel, it was perfect for a couple of nights stopover for some R&R. It was comfortable, clean and convenient in terms of distance from the local shops and restaurants/ beer houses. Also, right on the beach! Ps. The staff were super friendly!

The property lacked a bit of personality albeit it was a lovely hotel & perfect for a couple of nights.

Beautiful hotel facing the sea! Love the buffet at breakfast. Had a wide variety that caters for all. Clean. Friendly staff. Nice restaurants downstairs.

The free minibar is nothing to rave about - only has 2x water, 2x cokes and 2x beers. At the price of the hotel, a wider variety of drinks such as wine and small bottles of liquor would be appreciated and snacks as well.

It was our third time staying at the Strand and it didn’t disappoint. It’s comfortable and well equipped. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The location is ideal.

The rooms are very comfortable, although they aren’t as big as some we’ve stayed in elsewhere. We’d still be happy to return though.

Breakfast! You can have literally anything your heart desires. I would class this hotel as Africa's hidden gem. The staff are beyond exceptional, all the restaurants have fantastic choices, and they all deliver to what is stated on the menu. I found the prices for everything extremely reasonable. I will be back in the very near future.

I have no negative comments
