Had an overnight stay, very good service and food. Magnificent views over Windhoek, not to be missed, will recommend to friends. More

This was our first experience of Namibia and we were not disappointed. This a great location popular with locals for sundowners and you can see why. The views are excellent Any short comings in the hotel are made up by very friendly helpful staff. Rooms are large and clean. Food good although breakfast is a simple affair but hot food... More

I visited for 4 days in January 2012 and had a generally good impression of Hotel Thule. The main building is placed on the top of the hill, overlooking Windhoek, so you can enjoy this from the restaurant, the terrasse or even the pool. The location is on a hilltop, so you should not walk to other places, but rather... More

Expectations were high as we drove up the hill in the affluent area of Klein Windhoek to Hotel Thule – you can tell the views are going to be good, & they are. It’s an architecturally interesting building – I loved the restaurant/bar area with almost 360 degree views over Windhoek which has a real deco/modernist feel, & the whole... More

Stayed overnight at the Hotel Thule before heading out to Sossusvlei and other parts of Namibia. The friendly, helpful staff and wonderful views of Windhoek make this an attractive place to stay. And the breakfasts with the morning light can't be beat. That being said, without my own vehicle, I felt a little trapped away from the downtown area. A... More

We had to stay in Windhoek due to flights and our tour company said Hotel Thule was great. Perhaps in the 1970s it was great, but today it looks and feels old. The positive: Very clean and tidy, pleasant staff and great views. Not so positive was the smell (sort of old musty), bed was small and hard, room was... More

Hotel Thule is a very nice place for lunch or just a drink on the terrace. You have a beautiful view over Windhoek so it a great place to relax and prices are very reasonable. More

The warm reception my crew and I received on arrival at Hotel Thule together with a complimentary glass of something fruity was the start of a thoroughly enjoyable four night stay. The bedrooms were spacious and well appointed and kept immaculately clean. The dining room (where breakfast is also served) has the best views in town and the food both... More

We stayed at the Hotel Thule for just one night on our way to Etosha. It was a most enjoyable stay. The service was excellent, we got free internet access, free fruit in our room and a free bar fridge. Just because a few items are free does not make a good stay - the dinner was good - my... More

The staff of the hotel was extremely helpfull and the service is excellent. We could keep our room until we had to leave for the airport around 2pm and someone from the hotel "escorted" us in his own vehicle to show us a specific shopping mall where we had to buy something. Furthermore, the rooms are spacious (we had a... More
