"Great little place in Windhoek!"
"Galton House"
Perfect for us being in transit from our photography tour to our private northern Namibia tour since we only needed a one night stay.
However, if someone wanted to be nearer to downtown activities, it's too far away, a 10-15 minute drive." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

"Galton House review"
"Lovely guest house & very helpful staff"
But the really outstanding feature was the help and encouragement we received from Helen and her staff at the point where it looked as though our whole trip might fall apart because of the car hire problem.
They kept us feeling positive, gave us access to their computer and printer, fielded calls from Expert Africa and Bidvest, suggested contacting the British Consulate, collected faxes, advised on contacting the Namibian police and organised taxis to the police station and later for us to eat out. They could not have done more for us.
We hope one day to go back and enjoy the guest house and see Windhoek properly - without the distraction of travel problems." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Galton House review"
A very nicely designed, relaxed place- but our room ( No 6 ) was very small and noisy. (A generator all night next door- and power showers at 6am in next room!)
Super swimming pool for a small place- much appreciated.
Very helpful manager. Nice sitting-around area...
Good for one night." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Stylish guest house in the capital"
Lovely ensuite rooms, refreshing pool, delicious locally sourced food, including a freshly-baked cake for afternoon tea.....& a good packed breakfast (ready at 4.30a.m) for our very early departure to the airport" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
