Liked: It's a nice place to begin a tour around Namibia which is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to relax for a couple nights and recover from jetlag after flying from the USA. I recommend this place for that purpose. It's within walking distance of the center of town, and that's a huge plus. Stay at this place!

Disliked: My room didn't have air conditioning, and it was very hot, but it gets cool during the night, so it's not too bad.
