Sehr geeignet für einen kurzen Aufenthalt bei An- oder Abreise nach/von Windhuk. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber, das Frühstück gut. Allerdings sollte für die Parkplatzsituation eine Lösung gefunden werden, sollten mehrere SUV oder größere Autos gleichzeitig dort parken wollen, wird es eng und es ist einiges hin und her rangieren nötig.

Liked: Cleanliness
This is a very basic sleep over B&B with not much to offer other than just sleeping. The bed was comfortable enough but the shower is just a cubicle in the room and the toilet has two cupboard doors throug which one goes to access the toilet. The establishment is located in a neighborhood not suited for a B&B The breakfast was okay even though I only had two fried eggs and toast. It’s a case of getting what you paid for.

Gut für eine Nacht, wenn man sein eigenes Auto hat

Die Unterkunft liegt am Stadtrand in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Ringstrasse. Somit etwas Verkehrslärm. Hinzu kommen die Strassenköter, die die ganze Nacht bellen. Unser Zimmer lag im ersten Stock, andere Zimer sind möglicherweise weniger betroffen. Dafür hat man oben nicht den Trubel von der Rezeption und vom Frühstücksraum. Das Frühstück selbst war sehr gut und reichhaltig. Ich wollte ein Taxi zur Innenstadt, und mir wurde mitgeteilt, einfach in Richtung Stadt zu laufen, dort fände ich schon eins. Bestellen ging nicht, weil man keine Telefonnummer habe. Insgesamt wenig Interesse von Seiten des Personals mit Ausnahme der Köchin.

Comfortable Guesthouse

Clean rooms and a nice place to spend the night before flying out. A little loud at night with kids screaming and running around until midnight though.

1. a modern style room which is very clean and safe 2. a set of necessary amenities are provided 3. hospitality of staff - not just friendly, but very flexible - (I had to leave at very early in the morning for my flight. Since it is way before the breakfast time, they have provided box breakfast for me to take away at the check out!)

Für eine Übernachtung ausreichend

Lage praktisch und wirkte sicher. Frühstück war ganz gut. Für eine Nacht nach oder vor dem Flug absolut ausreichend, insbesondere bei dem günstigen Preis. Die Toilette im Zimmer ist nicht so toll. Die Tür klapperte bei jeder Bewegung und da wir direkt beim Frühstücksraum mit großem Kühlschrank schliefen, war es auch sonst nicht gerade leise. Grundsätzlich mangelt es an Kleinigkeiten, wie Harken für die Handtücher und Komfort überhaupt. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt daher meiner Meinung nach, nicht geeignet.
