    Hansa Hotel was excellent.

    Stairs to the top floor - a bit tough when you are a bit older than the normal visitors.

    The meals we had were excellent - breakfast and dinner. The visual presence of the management tells the story. At the buffet - if a plate is half empty the management just give an indication and the plate is attended to. Staff was friendly - all over - reception, dining room, housekeeping. We were there to relax - and we did - and the Hansa Hotel clicked all our boxes.

    Everything perfect!

    A traditional, well-run hotel. We had a suite (the Senator’s Suite) which was huge and made us feel like VIPs! The staff were all fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the restaurant every night, the food was excellent. I recommend trying the Hansa coffee! The hotel is in the centre of town, so very convenient. Hansa Hotel was our favourite accommodation whilst in Namibia! We would definitely stay again. Highly recommended.

    Where you really should stay in colonial Swakopmund if you care about history

    The hotel is understandably a prime stopover for German tour groups. When they are arriving or leaving (or descending on the bar after an excursion), they crush all in their path. At the same time, they do add a certain bustling, festive atmosphere to the locale. I found that by coming to the buffet breakfast (which is very nice) either right when it opened or during the last hour of service allowed me to avoid most of the aggressive hordes. (When busy, it was like the locust scene in "Days of Heaven".) I would also go to the bar early and would always find a seat.

    I was spending five months in South Africa working on a book and was in the mood for something different over a long weekend. FlyNamibia/Westair had surprisingly cheap flights from Cape Town to Walvis Bay, and I had heard about a wild little German coastal city easily reachable by van from the airport there. Swakopmund turned out to be even smaller than it looked on Google maps, but the Hansa Hotel was smack dab in the center. It also bills itself as Namibia's oldest hotel, and the place has a fascinating historical vibe. My second-floor room in the main building (it is a sprawling place that takes up a whole block) was comfortable and beautiful . The bar and restaurant were atmospheric. Everything in this quirky, interesting town is a short walk away, including the beach and jetty. Like the Hansa, many of the buildings are architectural/historical gems, and the small museum is informative about the area's tragic colonial past.

    As usual, Hansa Hotel is simply excellent. The facility ( spotless), its location, the staff ( friendly and attentive ), attention to detail and breakfast is phantastic. Our stay was too short. Can only recommend and suggest a longer stayover.
