Hotel A la Mer

The view from our room was simply spectacular. An executive room, number 4, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and jetty. Next to the jetty is one of two restaurants, the Tug, a few minutes walk and outstanding food and service. The room itself was great, comfortable beds, and wonderful shower with nice water pressure. The fridge was perfect for chilling wine and beer. The elevator was very much appreciated. We had the pleasure of talking to Jolande at reception, who managed to book an excellent tour for us, of the Skeleton Coast and Cape Cross. The other staff at reception were very helpful too, providing us with ice for drinks, and offering tips and answering all of our questions. The ladies at breakfast were simply wonderful, so friendly, and providing excellent service. Some good food choices, and the eggs were always a good way to start the day. We didn't use the bar onsite, as we purchased wine and beer at the grocery store just a few minutes walk away. Swakopmund is a gem by the ocean, and our stay at A La Mer couldn’t have been any better.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer für zwei Nächte gebucht. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir freundlich von einer netten Dame empfangen, die uns mitteilte, dass wir ein tolles Zimmer hätten, und uns anschließend den Weg zeigte. Das Zimmer befand sich jedoch in einem so schlechten Zustand, dass wir die Schlüssel zurückgaben und kurzfristig eine andere Unterkunft suchten. Das Zimmer war vieles, aber nicht schön – vor allem alt und heruntergekommen. Die Jalousien zur Verdunkelung waren halb kaputt. Einen Aufenthalt dort kann ich niemandem empfehlen, auch wenn die Lage toll ist.

Very good value for money. Very centrally located and a stone’s throw from the beach and good restaurants. Room had a partial ocean view which was nice. Would definitely stay there again.

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.

Room ok but no Ventilation
