"The Elegant Guesthouse review"
Breakfast was good and the woman manning the desk when we left was very pleasant.
It was looking a bit shabby and I would not recommend it." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"An Ideal First or Last Night Stop"
The guesthouse has a very pleasing, modern design with good rooms, all at ground floor level and is in a quiet neighbourhood. There is an honesty system for any drinks you take from the fridge in the restaurant and complimentary tea and coffee at all times. There is secure parking and it is very easy to find after long flights when maybe you are not at your best. Breakfast is a combination of light buffet and someone to cook eggs etc in the open kitchen.
All in all we can't think of how it could have done it's job of a clean, quiet and comfortable first night stop any better." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Elegant Guesthouse"
Breakfast at the guesthouse was good, including eggs and bacon made to order.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. The guesthouse is ideal for your first or last night in Namibia." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
"The Elegant Guesthouse final stop"
Disappointed with Windhoek shopping, although the Alte Fest Museum was well worth the visit. The National Art Gallery was closed on Saturday, not as Chris says in his book. It might have been interesting to have had a guided tour of even just 1 hour. We had most of the day available but couldn't really fill it given shopping wasn't attractive.
Elegant were very accommodating with our late departure for the airport at 1530 hours." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
