"Elegant Guesthouse review"
1 night Arrived 22 Sep 2013
"Very helpful reception, excellent for your first or last night of a trip.
Close enough to the centre of town, but in a residential area. The rooms were very comfortable." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Good place to start the trip"
1 night Arrived 12 Sep 2013
"We arrived late and only had a short time here before starting our trip so we didn't see any of Windhoek.
The rooms are small but adequate as not a lot of time would be spent here. The shower is good.
The staff made us feel very welcome; Angelius chatted to us about Namibia and Matilda prepared a very nice breakfast.
The guesthouse is close to a supermarket where we stocked up before we left." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Quiet but some way from centre (restaurants )"
1 night Arrived 9 Jul 2013
"You'll need a taxi to and from centre for food, ATMs etc. Windhoek itself hardly merits a visit for any other reason !"

"Great overnight stay in the capital"
1 night Arrived 13 Apr 2013
"For our final night this was a good stop over and the staff could not have been more helpful in trying to sort out our vehicle handover and airport pickup for the following early morning.
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"
1 night Arrived 9 Dec 2012
"Unfortunately as we arrived on a Sunday Windhoek was pretty much closed. It was a great stop over place for the night but wouldn't expect to stay there for longer."
