Pros:

Unheimlich nettes Team und super organisiert! Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und mit gemütlichen Betten ausgestattet.

Cons:

Sehr laut, besonders in den Zimmern die näher am Restaurant liegen. Der Pool liegt mittendrin und man hat wenig Privatsphäre.

Prima für ein paar Tage Sightseeing in Windhoek
Pros:

Das Hotel ist schön angelegt, die Zimmer sind um den großen Pool "verteilt". Dieser Innenhof ist auch eine wirklich schöne Oase, die Schatten spendet, viele Liegen hat und toll ist, um sich zu entspannen.
Die Zimmer sind ausreichend groß und sehr funktional, aber recht lieblos gestaltet. In meinem Zimmer war das Waschbecken winzig und es fehlten Abstellflächen im Bad. Betten waren aber sehr bequem und es gibt auch eine Klimaanlage.
Das Frühstück ist wirklich reichhaltig und lecker. Auch das Restaurant, das zum Hotel gehört, ist empfehlenswert.
Außerdem hat das Hotel einen Shuttle zum Flughafen für einen guten Preis. Parkplätze für ein eigenes Auto sind auch vorhanden.

Cons:

In meinem Zimmer gab es weder ein Mückennetz noch Mückengitter vor den Fenstern.
Die Zimmer sind eher funktional und rech lieblos eingerichtet.
