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 :)

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.

Property is perfectly located in heart of the city, where businesses are located. Ideal for people watching yet very peaceful. There is a mall attached the to the hotel so there is a number of activities there. At night, the area is peacefully quiet, with a couple of social lounges area within walking distance.
