    I didn’t like the service we received at the hotel main restaurant. The kitchen staff seemed overwhelmed because they kept forgetting to prepare our meal orders both for dinner and breakfast. We only got our meals after we stood up to make a follow up with the kitchen staff

    I liked the direct hotel staff friendliness.

    I have been to 63 countries. The staff reception here and one other place in Cape Town, South Africa were tied for the absolutely best and most friendly staff at reception of any place in the world! Every time we walked in from shopping or eating or walking about we were recognized and genuinely welcomed. I repeat, GENUINELY welcomed! The staff spoke to us in various locations with various recommendations. We were treated better than family! The location was fantastic. We slept with the balcony door open to listen to the waves as we slept. The ocean view was well worth the price. Parking was easy and free. Security at the hotel and the parking lot was superb. The luggage handler was a consummate professional both coming and leaving. The breakfast kitchen staff were super friendly and accomodating. If there is one place I had to live in Namibia it would be Swakopmund! If there was one hotel for me to stay in at Swakopmund it would be this hotel! We walked to safe shopping. We walked to safe restaurants. According to the local merchants there is a huge shoplifting problem there so may stores “buzz” you to let you in. I maintained situational awareness and no one ever tried to pickpocket us or steal a purse.

    This place is expensive, but if don't mind spending some money-it is worth it.

    This hotel and its staff are wonderful. The linens and towels are top quality. The room was beautifully decorated and had a great view of the water. The restaurant was delicious, and the breakfast was next level. I don't actually eat in the morning, but I did here. They had vegetables and fruit that could be blended for a fresh juice, incredible pastries, meats and cheeses, pancakes, cereal--everything. The location was central and within walking distance of bars, restaurants, bakeries, and museums. Parking was easy and free.

    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.

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

    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!
