"Elegant Guesthouse review"
Close enough to the centre of town, but in a residential area. The rooms were very comfortable." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Nice stay in city"
"Good place to start the trip"
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

"Great first night!"

"Quiet but some way from centre (restaurants )"
"Elegant Guesthouse review"
"Great overnight stay in the capital"
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
