Perfekte Unterkunft für den Start einer Reise

Super entspannte Atmosphäre, nette Mitarbeiter. Der perfekte Ort um eine Namibia-Reise zu starten oder zu beenden, weil man leicht mit anderen Reisenden in Kontakt kommt.

10.0

Une belle surprise pour cet établissement très agréable. La visite du centre de Windhoek, pédestre, gratuite et accompagnée le matin est un plus, très sympathique. L'établissement est très propre et a répondu à nos attentes. La chambre est grande et très fonctionnelle. Le repas proposé était très bon et très copieux.
