Artemis Hotel Swakopmund
10/10 Excellent
"The staff were super helpful and welcoming. There is a hotel restaurant in the building next door which does breakfast and dinner. The menu looked great but I didn’t get chance to have my breakfast as my transport back to Windhoek arrived at 7am (worth bearing in mind if you are booking a shared shuttle bus back to the city)!"
"It's a beautiful hotel with excellent, helpful staff. The rooms are large and comfortable. The bar area is cosy and the gardens are well cared for and very pretty."
"We had a great room with a view of the ocean. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The room was very clean and there is parking for the guests at no cost. The food and drinks at the restaurant were excellent.
We highly recommend it; we will definitely come back.
The location is also in the middle of town very close to the pier."
"Excellent location in an historical building, with great views of the Atlantic Ocean. Very friendly and accommodating owners. We liked it so much that we booked an extra night."
"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. "
"A lovely establishment right at the center of everything, beach restaurants, bars and shops. Nelly at reception and her coworkers were absolutely kind and helpful. They booked my transfers, activities and had great recommendations of places to eat etc. I was room 21, just over the bar. Room is spacious and beautifully decorated.
It needs a little more love as some of the deco is showing signs of age.
The bar closes around 9pm at 10pm, it’s all quiet. It was quite hot during my stay and the aircon in the room was an absolute lifesaver.
Nespresso. Machine in the room I was a definite plus for me. Breakfast was adequate and fruit was fresh.
As a solo female traveler, I felt safe throughout my stay.
Definitely recommend this place. "
"Parking out the front of the hotel so easy access. It looks out to the water and boardwalk. Short drive to town
Staff were a mix, lady on reception pushy on trips and booking with her. We had no intention. Bar staff lovely and attentive
The room we had #1 was right at the front, so you could hear all the news from the bar, road and generally noisy and not very private.
Book a standard room if you are staying, not worth the extra money. "
