Too expensive
The hotel is clean but loud. The management tries too hard to make it a first class experience without success. The restaurant is clean and the food is okay, but not high grade cuisine. Restaurant staff is friendly but has no idea how to serve , which most of the people in that restaurant didn't even notice. It's a 3 star hotel, wanting to be a 5 star hotel.

The location is unique on top of the hill with an amazing view. The service is generally better than you find in standard Namibia hotels. Breakfast was very good. However, for the price paid, the bed was extremely uncomfortable (firm) to the point I had trouble sleeping. In my view, a hotel is essentially selling a nights sleep. Everything was great except the most important thing.

Overrated. Do not recommend
When we checked in, even though I knew it was prepaid, they gave us someone else’s paperwork and said we needed to pay. Eventually we got it resolved. Also the restaurant Leo’s was absolutely awful! Fine dinning? No way. The shrimp were overcooked, they didn’t give us the scallops and the chicken was sooo dry! Ridiculous overpriced and the worst meal we’ve had in our 2 weeks in Africa!

Hilltop Views
We stayed here for only one night but it was very restful and luxurious. The location was great to do one or two things in town. The front desk was great to ask advice about what to do or any general questions. The views from the pool are beautiful because the hotel is on a hill so you can see the whole town, and you see the same view from their restaurant. We had dinner there and it was delicious and a great way to end a trip!

Excellent hotel
Excellent location. The only suggestion I have is provide a complimentary water bottle to each guest in rooms. Is a small gesture that could be appreciated. Every hotel I rated worldwide does provide a complimentary water. Specially a 4 star hotel. Otherwise is a superb hotel and location.

Oasis in Windhoek
Beautiful place, great garden and pool and terrace overlooking the city.. Nice respite from the nondescripts city of Windhoek. Rooms are ok, comfortable, clean.No tea or coffee making facilities in the room, not even a complimentary bottle of water.
