"Galton House review"
"Pleasant option in Windhoek"
There is an open kitchen/dining area, where it’s not clear whether you help yourself to tea and coffee, or beers from the fridge, or wander around looking for service. Breakfast was delicious, although service was painfully slow (45 minutes).
You can also take dinner here, which is nice, with a range of decent, well-priced wines, and avoid the hassle of taxis into town and back. Staff are all very friendly." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

We travelled with a baby and on arrival there was a baby cot ready with some toys in it. We felt this was a nice touch." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Galton House review."
"Galton House"
The reception was very friendly and we quickly relaxed for our overnight stay.
The food was very good and effort was made to suit a number of our party who do not eat meat.
Nice reception room with plenty of space, Galton House has a modern feel but has enough traditional décor to make it feel more than a newly decorated hotel.
I will mention that the staff were really helpful when I managed to cut open my hand on the car lock which had jammed. The first aid kit was brought out with minimum fuss, my pride was a little more hurt than my hand." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Galton House review"
Only downside (compared to the rest of the places we stayed) was that there was no view from the room or the lounge/dining area, though I imagine this may be the same in all the places in Windhoek." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
