"Great view and comfortable accommodation "

1 night Arrived 23 Sep 2018
"Welcoming staff and delicious cool beverage upon arrival.

On this visit we had a large, comfortable room upstairs with a balcony where we ate breakfast. Breakfast was excellent (beginning with fruit and coffee and finishing with eggs and bacon) and a couple of other surprises.

Room and grounds, including pool, were impeccably clean. Staff was helpful in arranging transportation into town for us." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Hilltop Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 9 Sep 2018
"This was our second visit to the Hilltop Guesthouse. We got a warm welcome and had the working of the room explained to us.

The rooms were all we needed for a one night stopover with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast on the terrace outside our room was very good with a great view across Windhoek. The pool area was nicely laid out but water very cold following a cold spell.

The owner was very helpful in advising us of how to resolve the common issue of UK phones not being able to make calls in Namibia. He advised us where to get a cheap phone and sim card with credit for less than £20" See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia

Really clean rooms and spacious beds.

Staff we very friendly, in particular the guard. He was incredibly helpful in directing you into the space on the driveway which was a little tight.

"nice place to stay "

1 night Arrived 14 Jul 2018
"This is what one calls a "pension" in Germany. Very comfortable with a great view from the balcony.

Awesome breakfast with eggs, cold cuts and yummy french toast. Because of the unseasonal storm it was too cold for breakfast on the balcony, and the staff moved the table into the room.

Friendly staff, and fine way to start our trip!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
