"One night Windhoek stopover"
1 night Arrived 25 Nov 2022
"A pleasant stopover in Windhoek with helpful staff.
They booked our dinner reservation for us (Leo's at the Castle - highly recommend). Very convenient location coming from the airport. Room was fine for our needs.
There was continental and a cooked breakfast on offer, plus cereals, yoghurts etc.
There is secure off road parking for your vehicle." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Elegant Guesthouse review"
1 night Arrived 30 Sep 2021
"Our first day in Namibia.
It is unfortunate that it isn't recommended to walk in the neighborhood at night, but the management helped us get a taxi to Joe's Beerhouse, which was a fine place for dinner.
The room, grounds and breakfast were all fine." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"Elegant Guesthouse review"
1 night Arrived 5 Jan 2019
"Such a beautiful guesthouse in Windhoek.
We were treated very well and staff couldn't have been more helpful at giving us directions and advice on where to go. We didn't get chance to see much of Windhoek.
Went straight to Joe's Beerhouse for dinner." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Elegant Guesthouse review"
1 night Arrived 2 Sep 2018
"Elegant Guesthouse was ideal for us as an overnight stopover. I have stayed in the Olive Exclusive which is smarter and has larger rooms but as we were not staying in Windhoek for long we were happy with this guesthouse."

"Suitable for getting to the airport"
1 night Arrived 18 May 2018
"Received a good and helpful reception on arrival. Room was rather tired and small but it was OK for our last night. Not providing dinners was a drawback. Convenient for getting to the airport."
