Hotels on the Lake in Windhoek

We arrived late, opened our room door, and it was still dirty with beds a mess from the prior guest. It took time to sort out and it was too late. Wi-fi didn’t work until the next morning. Breakfast was good but we had to replace a key after a few hours staff were all nice, but it was a horrible experience otherwise.

Good infrastructure. Housekeeping staff performance below standard. Towels were never replenished in one week stay. Floor mat was not even picked up. Tea and coffee was not replenished. Had to call housekeeping every night. Breakfast sausage was raw every morning. Nice location.

Far too busy and noisy. I was offered an upgrade, as expected that was because something was wrong with the upgraded room I was offered - it was above the restaurant, and I could hear the extraction fans and air con whirring noisily. The room itself was OK. Pretty much a clone of the international hotel style. But nothing special. Parking (for my motorcycle) was in a publicly accessible multistorey next door. The security guard was great, and looked after my bike all night. Windhoek city is a bit disappointing too. Museum closed. Hard to get around. I got propositioned by a young lady in the cafe! That's never happened to me before. Not sure what to think. I said I had to phone my wife, so was too busy. Instead I went round to the supermarket and bought a cheap dinner.
