The place was clean, the staff was very friendly and they responded quickly to our requests/issues. Clean linen, spacious rooms, working elevator, quiet environment. Same breakfast options throughout our stay - definitely boring.

Great hotel but some Reno’s in some places.
We were a group of 8 people in 8 rooms. Most rooms were excellent however considering we paid the same price for all rooms, some were of lesser quality and obviously older and not renovated. They also had issues with hot water. The rooms in the « older » section should be less expensive

Disliked: Cleanliness
The check-in was nice and the room looked good. The issue was there was no fan or air con and it was very hot in the room, so we had to leave the windows/doors to the balcony open. This resulted in us recieveing mosquito bites all over our faces and arms. Very unpleasant. The rooms at least need fans so you can keep the bugs out. The shower drain was also blocked so you had to turn it off every minute or so to allow it to drain and not overflow. The breakfast was good. Overall the hotel is nice just needs some final thoughts like fans in the place of having windows open or window screens as there are many mosquitos in the area that will come in if the windows are open. Had more bug bites here in one night than our entire camping tour throughout southern Africa!

Recommend this place
Very well run hotel. The view of the sea was lovely and internet very good. The town and seaside location was a great recovery experience after a busy trip. We loved it. A highlight from our holiday. We stayed an extra night and cancelled a different hotel, so that will tell you this place is worth using.

Great place by the ocean
Great hotel, value for the price. Right by the ocean and good restaurant around the corner for seafood. Place is clean, beds are comfy. Free breakfast is good. Staff super friendly. Secure parking at no charge. Nice sun decks to enjoy the weather. Nice bar on property with friendly bar staff. Breakfast ladies were friendly and very helpful. Front desk gentleman was friendly and very helpful suggesting local things to do. He even called and made a dinner reservation for us. Highly recommend this place.

Good stay in Swakopmund! Close to the Jetty!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel A La Mer in Swakopmund. Well located, at a walking distance from the main restaurants and city center. Spacious room, clean, good bed, shower, except there is no fridge at the room.
