Simple hotel for a nights stay. Inside is great and restaurant bar on the top floor is very nice and drinks were good. Outside of the building is a bit tired but that doesn’t matter really. We had a great stay.

To say they have a swimming pool they could be done under the trade descriptions act, it was like a large bath 3mtrs by 1/12 mtrs at most, a dipping pool. Nice views at sunset from the roof bar Terrible music playing loudly in the street from 0700 until 0200 19 hours.

We received the warmest and friendliest greeting from Gabriel and Tisha at reception after arriving from our exhausting overnight travels. Their smiles instantly boosted our energy. They both went out of their way to elevate our check-in experience and we are grateful for their genuine desire to help their guests feel happy. Keep up the excellent work. We will be back :)

All staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived late and left early - the hotel helped to arrange morning transportation for us on short notice and everything went as arranged, even last minute.

The lifts were not working. This was a huge inconvenience. You fumigated. You fumigated the first floor yet it was clear the chemicals and smell would protrude throughout the hotel as it indeed did. You did this so as to save money from having to close at all. Koekoe was excellent in her service and very nice. The noise from outside was remarkably loud and overbearing.

This property is central to Windhoek; in fact when I put “Windhoek” into my Google maps, it ends up a block away from the hotel. The food on the roof is just a touch better than the fantastic view. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Every museum is within walking distance. The wifi works better than most places in Namibia and the room is temperature controlled. There is absolutely nothing negative to stare about my stay at this hotel.
