I stayed here at the beginning and end of my holiday. Spotlessly clean and really nicely decorated with great photos, this is a really good place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great too. It's slightly further out than many other places but it's easy to get a taxi and it's only 10... More

One night stay after arriving in Windhoek. Our room was clean, the rooms (to include the bathroom) are modern, and the A/C worked great. It was very quiet at night as you are in a residential area. Our included breakfast was well-done, eggs cooked to order and french press coffee. There is secure parking for your vehicle with a security... More

You probably would not want to stay here for more than a couple of days....but it is ideal for a first or last night stay on arrival/departure from Windhoek Airport. We were heading south, so had to drive in to Windhoek - the airport is half an hour or more out of town - so the hotel was en route.... More

Two rooms by the pool area and a few more rooms on the ground floor. It’s clean, the rooms are quite big and I don’t really have much to say about it, which means it’s bland and good as a transit stay before moving on and/or just arriving from the airport. The staff is very friendly, but invisible. Although they... More

We spent a night before and after a longer 10-day safari-type tour of Namibia. We found the location a bit out of the town center, but the advantage was that it was quiet. The place is new and all the rooms are very comfortable. There is a super nice community living room area. Breakfast was superb and the staff is... More

This quite and peaceful guest house set in the Eros suburbs of Windhoek provided safety and security with a personal touch and was the ideal beginning to a safari. The rooms while not overly large were very comfortable and clean and provided everything one needed for a brief stay or indeed longer. The service was excellent as was the food... More

Galton House is situated in the affluent area of Eros. It’s quite a way form the center of town so you will need a cab to go anywhere. As you will see in Windhoek, everybody is behind huge gate and fence and so is Galton so you will feel very safe. The owner who welcomed was very friendly and efficient... More
