Reviews of Nest Hotel

"We asked for a sea-view room and certainly got it, it felt like we were walking out into the sea when we walked into the room! This is a big hotel compared to most outside Windhoek and service on the reception desk was a bit impersonal but the restaurant staff were friendly and overall it was a much pleasanter hotel than expected.

Lots of people we met travelling round Namibia missed out Luderitz. This is a shame because it has some interesting architecture (Goerke House in particular) and the experience of driving there through a sandstorm was one of the highlights of our journey! The boat trip to see the penguins is recommended, as is visiting the ghost town of Kolmanskop." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

Breakfast was good, the best breakfast rolls in Namibia" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"This hotel is superbly located on the sea shore and offers a level of luxury that we really appreciated after some difficult long driving.

The hotel has all the facilities you could wish for ,including some stunning sea views and some seals in the water as well.

Luderitz is worth a visit to look at the German architecture,and gain an impression of how life used to be years ago." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"A comfortable travel hotel at the end of the long drive to Luderitz from the Fish River Canyon, but not much more. Well located in town on a point overlooking water on three sides.

Attractive outdoor areas for enjoying fish-andf-chips in the brisk sea air. A disappointing restaurant with poor service (though the presence of an international windsurfing/kitesurfing festival probably contributed).

While Luderitz itself has relatively little in the way of tourist attractions, the drive between Luderitz and Aus is amazing, with the Namib-Nakluft Desert on full display in all its arid beauty," See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Nothing exceptional but a quite adequate hotel with a good outlook over the sea and convenient for the town." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Nest hotel is not only the best known hotel in Luderitz, it's a local landmark and hangout, so it's a pretty bustling place in an otherwise sleepy town.

Situated at the very tip of a peninsula over the water of the bay, it has fantastic views on the ocean and the city from almost every room. The pool area looked very inviting, but we didn't check it out, it was too cold during our stay. The restaurant has an outdoor patio which is perfect during the day for lunch or a drink, and dinner was delicious; lots of options and very attentive service. They did lose our reservation the first night, but accommodated us anyway.

Reservations are definitely recommended, as they seem to be sticklers about having a reservation for dinner. Nest's location also makes it an easy starting point for exploring Luderitz on foot, or starting a drive of the area. The concierge was happy to spend the time to explain all our tour options to us, and make suggestions for things to see." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Served as a good base.

We were in Luderitz during high winds and sand storms, so we were bunkered down to some extent here. We would have liked to dine at other places in town but the weather prevented us on Saturday and The Nest seems to be the only restaurant open on Sunday.

Generally the hotel was of a good international standard." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"This was a very modern and well appointed hotel with an excellent Wi-Fi system which we could access in our room. There was some confusion on the first night and we were told we had to have the set menu. On the second night we were denied access to the set menu and told we had to have al la carte as we were only booked for b&b. Strange as our meal on the second night was cheaper than on the first night! Service in the restaurant was very slow and staff not as friendly as those on reception."
