"Hilltop Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 2 Oct 2019
"Interior was tatty. Towels so threadbare they had holes in! Bathroom very substandard Only one chair and one drinking glass one cup present.

Not a great intro to our organised trip we were surprised that Expert Africa used this placed we would have been happy to pay more to stay in a better place.

Good breakfast and view though." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Short, comfortable stay at Hilltop Guesthouse"

1 night Arrived 1 Sep 2019
"Hilltop guest-house located in a pleasant area of Windhoek with a nice view over the town. Rooms very clean and comfortable with a great breakfast served on a terrace overlooking the surrounding area. The guesthouse is with 15 minutes walk of Joe's Beerhouse, a great place for an evening meal, very good food at reasonable prices and an amazing atmosphere. It was recommended by Hilltop's owner."

"Good place to stay"

1 night Arrived 24 Aug 2019
"A little hard to find on our first day in Windhoek, would have been easier later. We had a delicious meal at nearby Sardinia restaurant.

We felt the staff here was gracious and helpful, though refreshingly not entirely professional.

The shower in our room could be imp roved. Liked the view and the birds." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
