4/10 Fair

Die Lage ist wunderschön, die Ausstattung war mal sehr schön, wird aber nicht gut instand gehalten. Das Essen im Restaurant war mittelmäßig, das Frühstück allerdings gut. An Silvester hatte nicht mal die Bar bis 24.00 Uhr geöffnet. Das Personal an der Rezeption war unfreundlich. Insgesamt bei den Preisen nicht zu empfehlen.

Prima voor een nachtje

We hebben hier een nacht verbleven. Standaard kamers, zoals je van een keten kunt verwachten. Wel een mooi balkon met zeezicht. Ontbijt was prima en divers. Eten vonden we niet geweldig. Maar er is genoeg in de buurt. Leuke locatie vanwege de vele pelikanen.

6/10 Good

The property was in nice shape and the staff was friendly and professional. But our room was not in good shape, we were given a smaller bed than promised and mechanicals were worn. The shower curtain was missing and we could not take a decent shower.

A bit disappointed for a Protea Group

There was no hot water during the time I was there. No communication was sent out to inform the guests that there was a problem with the boiler. I had to complain a few times and only on the day I was leaving I was told what the actual problem was. At the end the manager gave us discount on our stay. Great location and beautiful views.

Nice hotel, at the end of the bay, beautiful view

Hotel is very nicely located, at the end of the bay, offers a nice area to walk or run (up to 8K) and observe the pelicans, sun set and more.

No complaints other than noisy neighbours in the next room and the non-delivery of room service.

An African take on Typical.

We were here for only one night. But we were put on the second floor, and there is no elevator.. My bags defintely weighed close to 70 pounds all together, so it was alot to carry up stairs. Room was clean, Bathroom seemed dingy and slightly intimidating. We lost hot water that night, so they had to fire up the back up (Africa stuff) . Overall, it wasn't too bad. I would consider staying there again. It was really close to our kayaking venue (literally a 3 minute walk). Breakfast was a big buffet, but fairly basic. The one thing that bothered me is that there was a back door that we used to exit for dinner, and when we came back in that way we realized that it was unlocked and you didn't even need a key to get in which seemed like a big security issue.

8/10 Very good

By far the best position in Walvis

This Protea hotel was built around 2004 but has been renovated for the most part. All rooms give onto the ocean and work well apart from the dim lighting in the bathrooms. Breakfast is copious and varied. And best of all it's next to the Raft Restaurant and several others clustered around the place where you can embark on sailing trips and safaris into the high dunes of Namibia
