recommendable
well managed hotel. nicely furnished, super clean rooms with very comfortable bed and bedding. very friendly and attentive staff (kuuoko, quinn leigh, and tisha were particularly helpful). breakfast buffet is fantastic, but unfortunately, during my entire stay there was no dinner buffet offered. wifi in my room was strangely erratic (perhaps better in other rooms near to router). in the looby wifi is always very good.

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 :)

Great service
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.
