Hotels with Bars in Sesriem

"We enjoyed our stay at the hotel! If you're traveling by shuttle Go2Nsmibia and don't have a car, there are not many places to stay if you want to visit Sossusvlei. This hotel and Desert Quik Camp are among the cheapest places to stay near the national park gates. Pros: - Near the entrance to the national park - Amazing desert scenery - Kitchenette, BBQ and patio - Good bed, linens, powerful shower and air conditioning - Tours and transfers can be booked here - Clean pool and minibar - Grilled meat, bread and other items available for purchase The prices are reasonable, and the firewood is plentiful. Cons: - If you arrive without a rental car, you'll need to bring your own food, as the restaurant is located on the grounds of Sossuusvlei Lodge, 5 km across the desert from this camp. Breakfast is also served there! So, if you don't have a car, the breakfast option is pointless. - If you're going on a tour, you'll still need to get to Sos. Lodge and pay for the roundtrip transfer again (75N$ per persion one way). - You'll need a N$300 deposit for kitchen utensils. - Bottled drinking water is not provided in your room; commercial water is expensive, so it's best to bring your own. - There were stir fry vegetables in the ”grill” section. The vegetables turned out to be shredded and not suitable for grilling, and we bought two whole packs of them :("

"Generally recommended. The location is fantastic, right on the track and one of the closest lodges to the Sossusvlei gate. The houses are very tidy and, above all, clean. It's self-catering, but you do notice that a few things are missing. I couldn't even find a spoon. No glasses, no hairdryer. However, this isn't a big deal since we simply dried our hair outside while sitting and gazing at the vast desert. Occasionally, an animal wanders past the room. Be sure to bring a flashlight at night, as it's completely dark. Breakfast and dinner are at the Sossusvlei Lodge, a 3-minute drive away. No shuttle, no problem. But we found the food to be rather poor. I'm not a vegetarian myself, but anyone who is will be disappointed. Meat, meat, meat everywhere. At both dinners, we and other guests were rudely and conspicuously asked to leave the restaurant, as if they wanted to get everyone out quickly, even though mealtimes still had over an hour to go. Oh well. The Wi-Fi is absurdly bad. The Wi-Fi coverage was abysmal, practically nonexistent. Service... what can you say? So far in Namibia, we've noticed a general coldness. Little personal interaction, little politeness; the bare minimum is said, and that's it. Whether at check-in or during meals. But when it comes to the bill, a quick, handwritten remark is often scribbled on it to try and squeeze out a few dollars in tips. Tip boxes are everywhere. The pool was freezing cold, but that seems to be the norm here in Namibia. The only question is why, since the sun should be heating the water continuously during the day at 35 degrees Celsius. Anyway, a quick dip and goodbye. We would still come back, though, because the lodges themselves are simply superb. This isn't some sparse camping situation, but rather a nice hotel with plenty of privacy."
