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.

2/10 Poor

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.

8/10 Very good

What I Liked was the staff's ability to compensate for my mishandled room reservation. I liked the staff and breakfast buffet very much. I liked the three dining restaurants within the hotel. I liked that the mall was connected to the hotel. I liked the convience and central location of the hotel as well. What I didn't like was that my hotel reservation from expedia for the Presidential Suite was not honored even though I reserved it four months prior to my stay. I also didn't like that every room had an issue such as door or phone not properly. I also didn't like having to keep requesting face towels for the room daily (even after the room clean).
