"Elegant Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 8 May 2012
"First arrived we were exhausted, so all we wanted was a place to lie down and we left early the next morning. We had planned to walk into town for dinner but were told that the neighborhood is not safe.

Breakfast was OK. When we returned before going on to Botswana it was not a real pleasant experience. The room was very cold. The only heater/AC is mounted high on the wall where it blows straight down on the bed. In the evening there was the night watchmen, who I found to be rude. We left early the following morning.

There was no attempt to prepare some sort of cold breakfast or "box" for us or other guests who were leaving before they started cooking breakfast." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana; 12n in Namibia

"Elegant Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 7 May 2012
"It was a good place to stay to be near the airport.

The lightbulb in our bathroom was out and the woman at the desk told us she could not get anyone to come change it until the next morning. She seemed surprised that we would want it fixed that night." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Elegant Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 23 Apr 2012
"A nice enough guesthouse, conveniently located near to Joe's Beerhouse.

If we were to have our time again, however, we would bypass Windhoek altogether and head straight out to stay in a lodge in the surrounding countryside" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Stay at the Elegant Guesthouse"

1 night Arrived 29 Dec 2011
"Again the Guesthouse staff were very welcoming and we enjoyed our (brief) stay. The design is modern and a nice change from the more traditionla places we had stayed at during our stay. It is very convenient for the centre and especially Joe's Beerhouse!

We would highly recommend." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"Great place for first night"

1 night Arrived 13 Oct 2011
"Very helpful, welcoming receptionist when we arrived, very tired after a long journey. Suggested and arranged a meal to be delivered (by "the Gourmet") as we weren't up to a big night out. Very good too.

Wrecked safe in room a little troubling but all appeared very secure now. Pleasant surroundings and very clean." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
