I spent a wonderful and unforgettable weekend in this hotel:
The noise of the sea just beside you and the sunrise behind the balcony give you such a peaceful feeling that thinking of Lüderitz makes you to recall the Nest hotel immediately!

1 night. It was all. However I found this hotel much better than I expected. Seafood from the restaurant was excellent! Crayfish is a must and the local oysters, I dare to say probably the best I ever had, and few others in our group saying the same. Rooms were sufficiently sized and importantly, it is clean. I do like the ocean view from the room.

What an awesome experience it was to stay in Luderitz!! The Nest Hotel made it exceptionally beautiful. From the service staff to the hotel rooms, everything was well organised. Our room was facing the ocean, please make sure to book your room on the 1st or 2nd floor for best views in the morning and evenings 👌🏼 the food was the highlight of our stay! The buffet breakfast had a variety of options to accommodate all diet needs. Dinner was very good, especially if you love seafood they serve it fresh🙃🙃
We had an amazing boat ride with penguin tours, hotel receptionists have the information. We also visited the marine museum, the famous ghost town -Kolmanskop- you can also check the Diaz cross and Luderitz museum!!

Stunning views
Polite staff
Breakfast was a let down. The quality of food is lower than expected. Also need to pay extra for cappuccino/americano (anything not filter coffee).
Rugs in rooms need deep cleaning or replacing.
Overall the quality: price ratio is not a match.

Stopped by for a quick drink to quench our thirst after a long drive, and we’re so glad we did! Our waiter was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. We sipped on our ice-cold drinks while soaking in the stunning ocean views — the perfect little refreshment stop with a view that’s hard to beat.
