"Pension Palmquell review"
The location is great. It was only about 45 minutes from the airport. After we arrived and unpacked and went to Spar, a nearby grocery store. It was well stocked so we were able to pick up a variety of snacks and water.
We would highly recommend Joe's Beerhouse for dinner. They have a wide range of game meat and local beers. Our hotel called a cab to take us there and the restaurant had a shuttle to take us home so we could enjoy our cocktails.
We were grateful for the advice you gave us on tipping! We felt confident in tipping the people that watch the car while parked even though they gave us attitude. It was also helpful for tipping the taxi drivers, hotel staff and guides." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia

"Pension Palmquell review"
There was a room safe, an electric gate at the entrance and there was a man sitting near the gate keeping an eye on things at night so we felt very safe and secure. (not that Windhoek felt unsafe!).
Our room was clean and comfortable and we liked the garden with its flowers and tall trees.
There was a nice buffet breakfast on offer as well as eggs and bacon cooked to order." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

The management on the day we arrived seemed disinterested and were more interested in talking to each other rather than us.
The breakfast was very good." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
