Hotel Uhland

There's a cosy feel to this place at night sitting outside on one of the wooden picnic-style benches; hearing the crickets and enjoying the tree-mounted, pillar and other lights. The television in our room was too small to be of any use - seemed to be the size of an average sized laptop screen - and it was wall mounted, so a long way from the bed. On a hill the hotel's only a few minutes walk from great places to eat like Livega and Goodfellas and the slightly further Joe's Beerhouse. You can see blue-necked guinea fowl if you're out early in the morning and walk up the hill towards the brow. Staying with nature, within the hotel compound you'll see skinks and black lizards with orange heads and jerky way of moving their upper bodies. The owners, Jugen and Irmgard are welcoming, and he shares great stories. We were staying with a group and he kindly took us (free of charge) on an evening drive on which we saw giraffes, water bok and warthogs. Jurgen is fair, too. The pool is small and shallow - maybe less than 1m but I managed an enjoyable 20" swim in it so it's not only for cooling off on those baking Windhoek summer days. When we came back having been on a 10 day road trip the staff were at the door to greet us with warm smiles and kind words. That was an unexpected bonus! :) Breakfast offers a decent selection including cereals, Nesquick, bread and spreads and different types of eggs and delicious beef sausages. When I reported an issue with our bathroom door it was fixed very promptly by Michael, their friendly handyman. All in all, happy to have stayed here and when we return to Namibia I'd be happy to Hotel Ulhand again!

We came as Guests and left as Friends! Breakfast was fresh every morning and great care taken to our comfort while enjoying afternoon drinks in the shade of the beautiful big trees. We received some wonderful suggestions for dinner and opted to We needed to receive and print documents and with one phone call, Charmaine (at Front Desk) went above and beyond to have everything ready and delivered. Thank you for making the start of our Family Vacation so special. Definitely on my 'accommodation list' for the next visit.

This is a very basic 1-star hotel. I did not expect luxury but I expected more for the money. The pool is dirty. The breakfast is very basic and served cold (e.g. omelette). The room is basic with old-fashioned TV without a remote control. However, the air conditioning works well. The staff are nice, friendly and polite.

A spontaneous trip brought us to Windhoek. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were good for the price, but the bathroom was in bad shape. The included breakfast wasn‘t fancy but still good. In overall I would give 3 out of 5.

Ho alloggiato qui solo una notte e sono ripartita, col mio gruppo la mattina molto presto. Camera spaziosa, pulizia discreta una pecca la mia camera dava sul retro direttamente sulla strada e sul patio, qui c'era una lampada che si è accesa ad intermittenza tutta la notte, creando un notevole disagio a me ed alla mia compagna di stanza. Abbiamo pure tirato le tende ma la luce si infiltrava . Carina la direzione che ci ha preparato dei cestini pasto per il nostro lungo viaggio lungo la Trans-Kalahari Hwy .

Wir verbrachten hier zwei Nächte zu Beginn unserer 2-wöchigen, selbst organisierten Namibiarundreise. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Die Zimmer, insbesondere die Bettwäsche waren sehr sauber. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, so dass man Windhoek zu Fuß erkunden kann. Die zwei Nächte hier waren ein idealer Start unserer schönen Namibiareise.
