"Great overnight stay in the capital"
This is not a comment about Elegant but not sure where else to put it. We had been emailed by Expert Africa that our flight on Air Namibia had been rescheduled and put back 2 hours, but the company doing the airport transfer insisted this was not the case and we had to leave two hours earlier i.e. 4.30am. The staff at the Guesthouse did try to sort this out but the transfer company would not budge. When we were collected the following morning we discovered another couple were being transferred to the airport with us but they were travelling on a different flight 3 hours before ours. We can only assume that the transfer company just didn't want to do two journeys so made us leave really early....at least we were the first ones booked on!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Peace and tranquility in Windhoek"
"Ideal first night stop at Elegant Guesthouse"
Rooms were very clean and comfortable with air conditioning and a small individual patio. As the rooms are quite close together and are glass fronted, we were aware of people leaving early in the morning but this is the only slight criticism. Breakfast was good and an honesty bar operates in the evening if you want to sit and relax with a drink on the communal terrace or in your room." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Elegant Guest House"
"Elegant Guesthouse review"
Easy to get to from the airport. Our first contact with a receptionist was not as warm as we would have liked since we appeared to have been booked in twice and thus they were expecting four guests, not two!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
