"Great overnight stop and excellent dinner"
Decided to have dinner in, as menu looked good and we were feeling too lazy to go out. Excellent food, well presented and served. Breakfast was also good, though the buffet was a bit chaotic. Perfect stop for one night or even 2." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 5n in Zimbabwe; 4n in Botswana

"Good first night at Olive Grove"
"Olive Grove Review"
It had a bit of a transitory feel as everyone seems to just stay for one night, passing through." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Classy city hotel"
On both stays our rooms were very comfortable. Our room on the second visit was booked as Standard, whilst on our first visit it was booked as Luxury. However, we'd be hard pressed to say what was superior about the room we stayed in the first time: indeed by comparison, the standard room was a bit brighter and didn't open out onto the road, so was quieter. Based on our experience I would recommend simply booking a standard room.
Another thought - it might be good to request/check that you don't have a room opening out directly onto the reception/dining area (I think this was rooms 1, 2 and 3) - those rooms might feel a lack of privacy and risk a bit noise." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
