"Rostock Ritz review"
It was hot when we were here (highs around 36C) and the rooms couldn't keep up with the heat. I think in cooler weather, the rooms cool down overnight and don't fully heat up in the day. However when we were here, it was like sleeping in a pizza oven. We had a suite which has better air circulation, I can't imagine how hot it would be in the regular rooms. Other than the temperature, the rooms were quite nice with a nice view over the horizon.
Lunch was great, dinner was okay given how great the lunch was.
If you don't like the heat, my recommendation would be to stop here for lunch and then carry on to Swakopmund. The self-guided treks looked interesting but it was way too hot" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

The receptionist advised that they had a large party booked in so to accommodate everyone they had upgraded us to a suite. It was massive! So much space, it was a shame we weren't staying there longer.
They have some very unusual chairs near the pool which looked really comfortable. The pool area is very well equipped and looks out over the surrounding area. We had been advised to come early to the terrace area before dinner as you could get spectacular views of the sunset. It didn't disappoint.
Dinner was very good and a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

A really good stopover when travelling from Sesriem to Swakopmund.

Although for us there wasn't enough to do to justify a longer stay, we had a lovely short hike in the afternoon after we arrived, and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and clear night skies, plus the freezing cold pool and funky hanging chairs!
The food wasn't great, and the kids room was really cramped, but our larger luxury room was huge, with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. A comfortable stopover which we remember affectionately." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

We had an evening meal that was delicious. We could choose between fish or game meat. The breakfast buffet was a selection of cereal, meat, cheese, bread and eggs to order." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
