Hotel A la Mer

Staff were exceptional! Jolande went above and beyond to organize a tour for us that was spectacular.

Our room was in the new section, was spacious. There was coffee and tea offering but not little bottles of water. There is no dinner option, only breakfast. Breakfast was average. Security of the property was not great, I was seating at the lobby area and a beggar get in the property, I had my bag with my money but Thank God she did not grab it.

This is a great budget-friendly place to stay. It’s conveniently located near many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. As a female traveller, I felt safe. The only downside is the thin walls, which let you hear guests in other rooms and even outside your balcony. Overall, I enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly, helpful staff.

If you're not too fussy, the accommodation is okay. However...no aircon in bedroom, Room safe wasn't large enough for laptop. Beds not very comfortable. We had to leave the sliding door open on the evening for proper ventilation as there are no windows in bedroom. Fridge not in room but in a shared space with room next door, not great. The warm option of breakfast was quite greasy and no option offered for sausage with eggs. Only a tiny piece of bacon. Plus points: Good location, safe parking. Suggestions for a trip to see the little 5 in the desert was much appreciated and well worth while. Good shower and everything was spotlessly clean and tidy.

Excellent central location near the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean; our balcony had a great partial sea view. Even during New Year, the room was cool enough at night without A/C. Highlights: Rooftop & Bar: Beautiful spot for sundowners and watching the sunset. Staff: Wonderful and very helpful with activity bookings. Fridge: Private fridge for each room located in a nearby shared kitchen area. Food: Standard Namibian breakfast included. A great place to stay in Swakopmund

Great hotel in the heart of Swakopmund, very close to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean with nice balconies. Even without A/C, the room was plenty cool at night during my New Year stay. The staff are wonderful and very helpful with booking activities. Just a heads-up: your private fridge is located in a shared kitchen area for your section rather than in the room. Breakfast is standard for Namibia. I would definitely stay here again!

Martina made us feel so special and helped us beyond duty. She even checked to see if we ca wrap our luggage at Walvis on our way back to SA. The breakfast matron and bar tenders were all very friendly and made us feel super welcome. Martina managed to give us a unit with a partial sea view which we thoroughly enjoyed. The best sunsets we from the rooftop terrace. From there we could see the staggered dunes lacing the town in the East up to the lulling ocean in the West. We were able to walk to the jetty, all restaurants and shops and nearest swimming beach. Definitely booking to stay at La Mer again the next time we visit Swakop.
