Giardino Boutique Hotel | Swakopmund

Giardino guesthouse has a clinical clean look and feel to it with walking distance to the city center. We had a lovely stay but wouldn't rate it as a boutique guesthouse. One would expect some amenities like facial tissues, shower cap, hairdryer etc. and all other small amenities ea. more hangers (only 2) which goes with a boutique title. We also found it quite pricy for what we got and compared to other boutique quest houses in Swakopmund.||We found a personal touch in the rooms is missing although very clean. Unfortunately we had to keep asking for extra milk, coffee and toilet paper which one would expect from housekeeping to continue checking on these items. There were also only one plug in the room at the coffee station which we had to make turns to charge our electronics. No aircon but a portable fan to warm up the room. The staff however, were very friendly and helpful when asked and we got a sparkling wine as a gift for my husband's birthday which we appreciate.

Loved this little hotel. Staff and management were so dedicated, helpful and friendly. There is a heated pool in a beautiful garden setting. A lovely, sunny lounge to relax in with refreshments and service, and fabulous breakfasts. The bedroom was spacious and clean, with everything we needed. We could walk to the famous Altstadt Restaurant and Beergarden, and to the seafront.

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel, and I can't stop raving about it! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warmest smiles and the most accommodating staff members we’ve ever encountered. Their dedication to providing exceptional service truly made our stay memorable. I must commend the owners for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. Their genuine kindness and friendliness towards guests were evident in every interaction. It's clear that they take great pride in their hotel, and their passion for hospitality shines through in every detail. Speaking of details, the hotel itself is an absolute gem. The design is stunning, with elegant touches throughout that elevate the overall ambiance. From the luxurious furnishings to the impeccable cleanliness, it's evident that no expense was spared in creating a comfortable and inviting environment for guests. The amenities are top-notch, with the heated pool being a particular highlight. There's something incredibly relaxing about taking a dip in a warm pool after a long day of exploring. And the fact that there were always fresh towels available made the experience even more enjoyable. Now, let's talk about the breakfast. Oh, where do I begin? It was simply divine. The spread was impressive, with a wide variety of options to choose from. From breads and cheese to made-to-order omelets, there was something to satisfy every craving. And the quality of the food was exceptional – each dish bursting with flavor and made with care. Overall, my experience at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. From the amazing staff and excellent service to the stunning facilities and delicious breakfast, every aspect exceeded my expectations. I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and already planning my next visit. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable stay, look no further than Giardino! Sean & Ichner 103

We spent 3 nights at this hotel in August. The rooms were clean ans spacious, breakfast was very good, with a choice of eggs and pancakes. The great plus of this hotel for us was the heated pool which my kids enjoyed a lot. Only downside is the distance from city center.

We had the most wonderful stay at Giardino Boutique Hotel. Philip welcomed us with a big smile, was super attentive, and was so incredibly hospitable. We are here on our honeymoon and he asked us about our wedding and told us about his life and sweet girlfriend. The hotel was very clean and cozy, and their homemade breakfasts are something you can not miss. 5 stars all around.

We booked a 2 night stay and 2 rooms for a family of 4 on our recent trip. The hotel is clean but rooms are very basic with basic amenities E.g. there are no tissues in rooms, 3 small Oreo biscuits and given no of tea bags in the refreshment trays (which are not replenished), the towels are not changed and therefore remained dirty, there were no spare loo rolls and as there is no one in the lobby after 8.00pm we had to use our own roll. The breakfast is very basic with little choice. The worst part is that the owner/ manager is rude and condascending. We requested if we could delay check out til 10.30 am and were flatly refused. We explained that we had booked a hot air balloon flight that am and had to leave at 4.30 am and would be back by around 10.00am but in case we were slightly delayed. The answer was strictly NO. She would not even allow us to leave our packed car in the car park til 10.30 am. We have travelled extensively and never encountered such belligerence. I would never recommend this hotel. The only redeeming feature was the staff were very polite and friendly. This stay is the only black spot in our Namibia trip. The rest of the Namibians have been warm, friendly and welcoming and the country is beautiful.

The rooms were wonderful and comfy. The staff was attentive and helpful. We were given good recommendations on activities. Two minor downsides: it was a bit of walk to the downtown (we needed the exercise) and there are no doors on the bathrooms. That said, we'd be happy to stay here again.

We stayed there 3 days and enjoyed it very much. Very nice rooms, green garden and a heated pool.||The staff was very friendly and helpful. And a perfect breakfast every day.||Very recommendable
