Iris Boutique Hotel in Walvis Bay

A very traditional old-Africa style hotel with thatched roof. Perfect location for walking along the sea front, watching wildlife, or going into town. The service was excellent. The waiter was very friendly and insightful and interesting to talk to. They helped me to park my motorcycle safely. One evening the restaurant was a bit busy so they brought food to my room. Swimming pool is nice. Seals, pelicans, flamingoes, wading birds. Also saw a dolphin along the coast.

We had a great experience here. The hotel is very well-located - it was just steps away from our Sandwich Bay tour departure point. Every member of the staff was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They all went above and beyond. The thatched roof is charming. The room was comfortable, with nice pillows. The breakfast is great. But the real standout is the quality of the staff, from the front desk to the wait staff to the nighttime security guard to the laundry staff!

Clean, good location. Worth

Great place with a feeling of coziness.
Very nice and cozy hotel with pool area.
Love the old style of the hotel building with thatched roof and visible wooden rafters in the restaurant and room.

Very nice boutique hotel on the waterfront. Conveniently located, secure and very helpful staff. The rooms are spacious and nicely furnished, good sized swimming pool. Nice restaurant. All staff were extremely helpful and they even did our laundry for free.

Superb staff. Unique loft rooms. Comfy beds. Snugly blankets. Directly across from the water and a walking path. First, the staff is so pleasant and helpful. This is the key pro for this lovely hotel. Second, loft, thatched rooms!? Who wouldn’t love this! USB plugs at bedside! Tastefully appointed. Quite comfortable beds and linens! The sisal carpet is a little hard on the feet, but that’s nothing compared to the abundance of lovely touches in this great room. Our son loved the loft and the sliding library ladder! We only had breakfast so don’t know about other meals. Bar fully stocked and again…great staff! The only con would be that the internet, while having a strong signal, seemed to be stressed by customer demand in the evening. This did impact us because our son has a YouTube channel to work on. In the morning, the internet was perfect. So, something to maybe consider if you have a need for quick access in the evening. Overall, really lovely place. Unique and well-appointed rooms will leave you wanting to stay longer! Again, superb staff. Can’t say that enough.

The restaurant here is lights out fantastic. Among the best food that I had in Walvis Bay. All of the dishes were extremely well prepared and everything tasted fresh and intentional. If you are deciding on where to eat in this area, this place must absolutely be considered.

With the view over Flamingo bay, nice and kind staff and nice layout and decoration on the rooms, makes this place a good place to stay while in Walvis Bay.

The food served in the restaurant is tasty and fresh.

Administration of the place should consider revision and repairs on various amenities and accessories as are falling a bit behind and will downgrade the place value soon enough.
