Prost Hotel Swakopmund Namibia

Nice modern hotel with clean, spacious rooms, good shower, tea-making facilities, good bedside lamps, comfortable beds, etc. With friendly helpful staff and located right in the centre of this busy tourist town, it's a good option for a city stay. The upstairs rooms can be hot, even in this temperate city, and there is no AC, but there is a fan, which is adequate for the task. Breakfasts was fine, the usually buffet spread. If you're looking for old-world German charm, this is NOT the place for you. If you're looking for a comfortable but somewhat anonymous modern hotel, this is it.

A great stopover at Swakopmund, for various activities. Comfortable beds (not all rooms are the same size or designation) and a much needed hot shower. Decent breakfast, and our dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian) were accommodated nicely. The location is also very good, with various restaurants and eateries within walking distance. During the day we could walk round town exploring shops whilst we waited for our activities, but in the evening we attracted youthful company when walking to the the nearby eating places. They were just begging (probably due to lack of employment - a growing issue in Namibia) but it started getting uncomfortable as the gang grew in size. Luckily we had our guide with us, who managed to step in at the right time, and nothing of event occurred.

Hotel is a 2 star at Best Buy reason for 4 star on review is service. People genuine and caring … great laundry service and good breakfast. Location is good also, walking distance to everything in town. Room dismal and need upgrading but service made up for it.

Stayed in one of the air conditioned rooms in July, and it was absolutely fantastic for the price. Very spacious and modern room with a satellite tv with a large number of channels, small refrigerator, sizeable bathroom and shower, coffee and tea. A very good buffet breakfast (with made-to-order eggs) is offered between 7am-10am. However, what stood out most about the very centrally located Prost Hotel was its friendly and welcoming staff. Well before checking in, I had a number of random questions given that it was my first time to Namibia, and Debbie responded both very quickly and very warmly. It’s really hard to convey warmth through an email, but it certainly came through. I had asked similar questions to another, unnamed, local, historic hotel when debating where to stay, and their responses were very cool and perfunctory — couldn’t have been more opposite than Debbie’s. In any case, each and every one of the staff above and beyond to make our stay superb. Needed a very early ride to a tour pick up spot about a mile away after checkout - no problem, Debbie organized a staff person to take us. Although we had 10 (!) foriegn country electric adapter plugs, none worked for Namibia - no problem, the front desk let us borrow two for our stay and let us know where to buy one for the rest of our trip. Couldn’t figure out how to work the tv remote (extremely embarrassed about this as a man!) - no problem, front desk staff immediately came up and sorted us out. Checked out before breakfast, but plans slightly changed afterwards - no problem, came back and had our final breakfast at the hotel. So huge shout out to debbie and all of the wonderful staff at prost hotel!! If we ever come back to Swakopmund, this will be the one and only hotel we stay at.
