"Hotel Helmeringhausen review"
Hotel Helmeringhausen provided an excellent dinner and breakfast for our family. The food was very good, and well presented. We appreciated that the hotel was open on the day after Christmas, as we were the only guests that night.
The rooms were basic, and we were told not to drink the water. There was a very nice hotel intern working there and our adult children enjoyed talking with him. The hotel owner was a little gruff, but provided everything we needed." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
"In the Middle of Nowhere !!!"
The hotel was ideal for a one night stay en route to the Sesriem area and the room was comfortable and the food good. We did find the room too hot and the fan did not help much however. Try the apple cake it is delicious. A nice touch by Wilderness Safaris as they had put a printed welcome on the room door with our names on." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa
"Handy Hotel Stop"
Dinner outdoors was a bit chilly for most and the food was less than hot too and very slow to come! The whole meal took ages with big gaps between courses . We were told the meal was at 7pm but we sat for ages before even drinks orders were taken and served let alone the food.
The main course was tasty if lukewarm and we felt it was too ambitiously presented when by then all we wanted was a hot plate of filling food after a simple starter of a bowl of soup with a small triangle of bread. The breakfast buffet was very simple." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 4n in South Africa
"Hotel Helmeringhausen review"
The very pretty floral garden is like an oasis and we enjoyed the open air museum exhibits next door and going up the little hill to admire the sweeping views. The breakfast table was beautuifully laid with a white cloth and huge vase of flowers and was a very civilised, enjoyable affair.
Although we had been told someone would be around in the main buidling all evening we were slightly unnerved when we could not raise them and later found the door locked and all the lights put out (inside and out) quite early on so we could not return the museum key and buy a drink as planned."

The evening meal was fine but we did have to wait over half hour for main course. Staff not in the best of moods next morning, little disappointed with the place on this visit." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
