The Delight Swakopmund
$150-200 / éj
Foglaljon ezt, ha You want a vibrant, modern base camp in the heart of Swakopmund with the best breakfast in town, and don't care about having a pool.
Miért szeretik az emberek
- The legendary breakfast buffet featuring fresh Namibian oysters and champagne
- Quirky, colorful design that feels like a 'fresh breeze' compared to traditional German-colonial hotels
- Thoughtful touches like hot water bottles tucked into your bed during turndown service
Gyors áttekintés: A stylish and spirited city hotel that nails the basics but lacks resort amenities like a pool or gym.
Értékelte @richstays: I stayed here during my road trip and it was the happiest hotel ever. The room design is so bold and fun—waking up to that flamingo wall just puts you in a good mood. Plus, having a proper coffee on that huge balcony was the best start to the day.

Insider tippek
- ✨
Don't skip the oysters at breakfast—they are fresh from Walvis Bay and unlimited.

If you're cold at night, check your bed—staff often hide a hot water bottle under the covers during turndown.
- ✨
Ask the 'Delight Host' to book you a table at 'The Tug' well in advance; it fills up days ahead.
5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The 'family rooms' are lofts with steep stairs—great for older kids, tricky for toddlers.
💡The Wi-Fi is generally good but can spotty in the farthest corners of the courtyard.
💡There are no phones in the rooms to call reception; you have to walk to the desk.
💡The 'sea view' is more of a 'glimpse' from most rooms; don't expect panoramic ocean vistas.
💡The bar closes relatively early (around 10pm), so it's not a late-night party spot itself, despite the noise from neighbors.
