Great!
Pros:

I liked the place in general. The breakfast was very good, and the service. Very satisfied with staying here.

Cons:

The air conditioning was blowing only cold air or nothing at all. We couldn't heat the room, which was definitely a downside.

Schönes Hotel mit tollem Restaurant
Pros:

Sehr schönes Hotel in einer guten Gegend von Windhoek. Vor allem das toll eingerichtete Restaurant mit dem wunderbaren Essen und dem selbst gebrauten Bier hat uns super gefallen. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Der Poolbereich ist sehr einladend, aber das Wetter war leider bei unserem Aufenthalt zu kalt.

Cons:

Good stopover hotel but wouldnt stay longer
Pros:

Good location to Joes Beerhouse. Very friendly staff and nice fun vibe. Good choice of beer and wine selection. They will collect/ drop of in the city. Reasonable prices
We stayed two nights, one at the beginning and one at the end of our trip. The first stay was great. No problems.

Cons:

On the second night our room had no heating. We reported the problem but due the hotel having no water they had no maintenance person available. It was very cold that night. Also very bad smell coming from bathroom. We didn’t use it, we used the facilities in our daughters room. Their room was fine.
