Great Hotel and Location. Not crowded during Xmas and personalised service. They arranged and booked successfully all events like skydiving, quad riding in the desert dunes, kayaking with dolphins etc Swakopmund has so many activities for the family and one of the few places in the world. The Hotel was integral in arranging the activities.

Terrible Service
When we checked in there was no key to our patio doors so we requested one and were told it would be brought to the room. An hour later, I called again and was told the same story. In the interim we discovered that the safe wasn't bolted to the wall and was easily carried, so I went to reception to check on status of key and notify them that safe needed to be secured and was told that the prior guest had taken the key and they couldn't find another. When I explained that meant that guest now had access to our room and could walk off with the safe I was told they would correct that. After returning from dinner several hours later we were told that the maintenance person was alone so could not address issues but would do so the next day. I asked for a specific time and when they called to get it was told he wouldn't be in the next day but would leave a note for the next person and that it would be done in the morning. Infuriating. We were offered a downgraded room facing a wall which we declined. By noon the next day nothing had been done to the room and a manager was finally available (apparently there's no night manager) who apologized and upgraded us to a secure room. When I called to get the WiFi password for the new room the reception person said he was busy checking someone in a would call right back, but of course did not, and 45 minutes later I had to call again. Service is abysmal. Empty promises. Incredibly frustrating and unacceptable. Don't stay here.
