"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 7 Oct 2009
"In some ways this is hard to rate given the other places we had stayed in. It gave us good access to Windhoek which was fine but it just felt restricted.

The standard room was a disappointment after the others we had stayed in." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 7 Oct 2009
"Pleasant hotel in Windhoek.

Rooms fine, but felt a little small after more than two weeks of spacious accommodation around the country. Quality of rooms varied between those of same apparent grade. Staff friendly and helpful and food good.

Pool barely worth having due to small size, but massage carried out effectively and at reasonable cost.

A pleasant stopping off place for a night." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 3 Oct 2009
"We think in hindsight we would have preferred to head straight for Okinjima and not stop at Windhoek. The staff were very helpful when we left the room keys in the rental vehicle when Europcar came to exchange it!

We did try NICE Restaurant and it was a great supper." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"The lovely Olive Grove"

1 night Arrived 26 Sep 2009
"We thought Olive Grove was lovely - a very relaxing place to stay, staff were very helpful and went out of their way to assist us. Nothing was too much trouble - including getting us to the airport when our transfer driver forgot to pick us up!

The rooms are spacious and well equipped, and there were very nice touches such as a personal welcome note and small bottle of wine (as it was our anniversary).

We would definately stay here again if we returned to Windhoek." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Olive Grove in Windhoek"

1 night Arrived 3 Sep 2009
"Not sold on the cement fittings in our room but very comfortable bed and good dinner.

Glad we did not have to go out for a meal as a bit of a shock returning to the city and we had an early start the next day.

Receptionist insisted on the night security guard delivering us breakfast at 0545. The day guard washed and valeted our car for N$60. Budget had said we would have had to pay N$380 if the car was very dirty which it was." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Great way to start the holiday"

2 nights Arrived 26 Aug 2009
"Staff very friendly and efficient on arrival. Our room was spacious and comfortable with mini bar and tea making facilities. Bathroom spacious with bath and separate shower and plenty of toiletries supplied (even candles for romantic lighting!!!!).
Plunge pool and use of Jacuzzi were added bonuses.
The Wellness Centre and available treatments were a surprise and I had an Indian head massage and a foot massage - well worth it as the therapist was excellent.
Food was good & the breakfasts were excellent.
We enjoyed having 2 nights here before moving on particularly the surprise discovery of hot water bottles in the bed with sheets turned down as well!!!!!." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
