1 night Arrived 8 Jun 2012
"Warmly welcomed.
The only negative is that the bathroom facilities are not well screened from the rest of the room.
They were helpful in booking a table for us at a local restaurant" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"The Elegant Bed & Breakfast review"
1 night Arrived 26 Oct 2010
"We wanted to see a little of Windhoek and the Elegant B & B is is good place to spend the night and be relatively close to the downtown area and Joe's Beerhouse (which after seeing on a TV program, we had to see in person).
As we did not want to drive ourselves, we used taxis to go downtown and to Joe's. At N$50 for each taxi ride, Joe's trip is a little pricey, but since walking is not a choice, it was our only means to get there. I'm sure we could have found enough to do to spend another day in Windhoek, but we saw what we wanted to, so we were OK with just one day.
Joe's, however, was a bit of a disappointment, but it was our choice to go there so we can blame no one else.......
The Elegant was easy to find and convenient to what we wanted to do and see." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"As before on the first night.
Even though the restaurant we selected to eat at was only 300m from the Elegant, the staff advised we drive there. The key fob on the room key operated the gate." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
