"The Elegant Bed & Breakfast review"

1 night Arrived 12 Aug 2010
"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

"A capital start"

1 night Arrived 21 Jul 2010
"This was fine for a first night stopover, straightforward to find from the airport and the rooms clean and comfortable. The staff helpfully booked us into Joe's Beer House which was only a short walk away (although when we returned by taxi the night porter took some rousing to let us back in). In the morning they looked after our bags after we'd checked out so we could drive into the centre of Windhoek for a look round. The little museum at the Alte Feste gave some interesting insights into struggle for Namibian independence." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"The Elegant Bed & Breakfast review"

1 night Arrived 19 Sep 2009
"We found The Elegant without problems, in a residential suburb of Windhoek, with directions provided.
Enclosed and covered parking spared the car from the heat. We were welcomed with a cool drink by friendly staff.
The rooms are located around a garden courtyard and were very pleasant.
The staff were helpfull with advice on security, supermarkets, shopping and a recommended taxi service.

Overall for one night we couldn't fault "The Elegant" but with one exception..... In the morning the staff were watching t.v. in the lounge, which didn't give the best impression and we felt that this was why were not been offered a cooked breakfast.For the long drive ahead trhis would have been welcome."
