Iris Boutique Hotel

Went for dinner on the eve of the new year and the place is intimate, great location opposite the ocean, clean and the food was one of the best we've had in Namibia.
One star off for the staff shortage: only 2 waiters for the whole restaurant during such a busy holiday season! However, the waiter was extremely friendly and went out of his way to make sure we were happy and got the best, which we did.
Will definitely visit again when in Walvis Bay.

Lovely place for dinner with views of the lagoon. Our waitress was lovely.

Great sea view and affordable prices walking distance from the ocean 👌

Beautiful building with a lot of potential. Sadly the place looks run down and would need a deep renovation. Staff was friendly, but breakfast was very slow and just "meh"

The staff at the Iris Boutique Hotel is just wonderful. Each and every one of them was friendly and kind, and went out of their way to be helpful to us.
Their location is also great — right on the water, and just a stone’s throw from where our Sandwich Bay tour left from.

The food is good but the service is very bad, especially towards black customers.
The waiter was very non-chalant and everytime we wanted something we'd have to look for the waiter.
Wouldn't recommend especially for a birthday outing.

Nice and excellent — best panoramic view, close to the beach :-)

This is one of the iconic spots in Walvis Bay but tragically the dirtiest that we experienced in years of travelling. The wall to wall and loose carpets are so grimy that your feet are black when you walk the 10m from the shower to the bed. The cutlery so dirty that you must ask for a wash before you can eat. TV does not work. No kettle in the room though there are coffee / tea boxes. Sad. Sad. Sad. Such beautiful furniture and location.

Made a quick stop at this place today. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent!

We had dinner here, very tasty and would definitely recommend. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating, super friendly and helpful.

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.

There were so many issues during our stay:
1. There were not enough towels for us in our room. We asked for more and when we got them one of them was dirty (with something black). Furthermore, there were not hand shoap.
2. There was a birthday party so they got music until midnight. The didn’t told us about this situation in advance.
3. The worst is that we were told that the breakfast started at 6:30. We needed to leave early to go to Sandwich harbour and we were ready at that time to have our breakfast. Although, at 7:00 we left without breakfast as it was not ready (breakfast was still being prepared). So we were very upset.
To sum up, find another hotel in the area.

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.

Not much to say! Probably the best Hotel you can find in the area. Very very cute little hotel especially if you get the room over the reception! The staff is very friendly (as almost everyone in Namibia). The restaurant is also a very good place to eat, we had a perfect dinner. Thank you :)

Wow I can’t even begin to explain how dirty this hotel did us, they played us for fools and beyond disrespected us plus our time and money. Our accommodation was books way in advance weeks before our arrival on the 9th of October when we go there the hotel told us a lie that our rooms were water damage and there was no electricity and that they had to move us to a different low class hotel. Only to find out that this was lie they had double booked themselves and decided to leave us stranded and disrespected us like we didn’t pay for the accommodation and left us to search for own alternatives accommodation in a foreign country where we are tourist and visitors. They don’t value their patrons and they have double standards and very disrespectful. I will never even recommend this hotel, the food is blends and the management is beyond rude. This pictures were taken on arrival before the whole incident happened.

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.

Great venue for a birthday celebration. The restaurant staff is amazing! Charles was very helpful from the word go! The venue is cozy with stunning views of the lagoon. The food was delicious. Thank you Iris Boutique and particularly Charles for the great service.
