"The staff at City Lodge were very good, professional and attentive. I missed an entire day because of flight delays. I was able to contact them using Hotel.com. At first I was a little concerned because I didn't get a response about transportpation from the airport but I used Carlos and everything worked out fine. I was tired and hungry and the food was great and not expensive. The breakfast had a great selection. I had to leave very early the next morning and the restaurant packed me breakfast and snacks The room was small but it was enough for me. The room was very clean and the shower was very good. O would definitely recommend City Lodge if you are not picky. It's a three star hotel but the staff and the food make it 5 for me."

"Arebbusch was the perfect place to start our camping adventure in Namibia. I was really glad we chose to stay just outside the centre of Windhoek, it felt relaxed and peaceful, but a taxi into the city was quick, easy and inexpensive. The accommodation and facilities were great, but once again it was the staff who really stood out. Friendly, helpful and welcoming at every turn, they made everything feel easy from the moment we arrived. A brilliant, good-value base in Windhoek and the perfect place to begin and end a Namibian road trip."
