"Lovely hotel, but ......."

1 night Arrived 25 Oct 2012
"Glass of champagne on arrival, room was beautiful.

However, after 36 hours travelling we were keen to eat dinner quickly and have an early night. The restaurant staff took over 30 minutes to produce an English menu and there were no cold beers. When the food eventually arrived it was delicious." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Still the best place to start a trip"

1 night Arrived 29 Sep 2012
"Our usual pleasant stay was slightly marred this time by some service issues ie we were not offered a welcome drink as normal though others were and in the morning we were phoned and chased over to breakfast, being told it had closed when it had not. We therefore rushed over for nothing (with wet hair!) only to receive an apology from the receptionist who had called us admitting she had forgotten it was the weekend (because every day seems the same to her in the hotel industry she said) and breakfast was half an hour later. Not a good start to our day or the holiday. They did however help with the tyre problem we had with the car company by phoning them for us so this was helpful .

We enjoyed a very good dinner but it was a shame they don't sell glasses of champagne in the evening which we would have liked with our oysters and only full bottles are available at night apparently which we thought restrictive." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Heinitzburg Hotel review"

1 night Arrived 20 Nov 2011
"The restaurant setting is lovely. All the staff impeccable and friendly.

The food was a little bit too "inventive" and the flavours too forced, even for adventurous foodies like us." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana

"Heintzburg Hotel, Windhoek"

1 night Arrived 30 Sep 2011
"We arrived off the early morning flight, knowing our room would not be available until later in the day; it was ready at 1.30.

After 20 hours of travel we would have appreciated a warmer welcome, with quickly-served tea/coffee, and an indication of where the loos were/where we could wash." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
