Very comfortable rooms in a stylish complex set in a secure compound. There is a dining courtyard beside the adjacent Mercure Hotel which is a pleasant place to sit and relax.
The hotel is a little inconveniently located, though, and you'd need a car or to take taxis to get into the city centre.
Also, be aware that it is not beside the main international airport, but next to a domestic terminal catering to Cessnas and the like. This error didn't affect me, as I had a vehicle, but if you are relying on walking to the international airport in the morning, you'll have a problem as it's 37 kilometres away.
Also, don't order the Caesar Salad - the chef put so much dressing on the lettuce that it was a ghastly soggy mess.
Overall, highly recommended.

The Safari Hotel is a beautiful property. The staff are kind and attentive. The breakfast and food at the restaurant is great. The swimming pool and garden area are very relaxing. I would strongly recommend a stay at the Safari Hotel for tourism, business travel or to host conferences. Miguel Artacho, Country Manager Namibia, Energy Capital & Power

Old Style Class

Built in 1966, this is old style class. The rooms are well appointed, the restaurant excellent. There’s a wonderful pool, an excellent gym for both the newbie and veteran iron pumper. There is also a spa.

OUR ARRIVAL WAS STRESSFUL. WE WERE OFFERED 2 THREE QUARTER BEDS WHILE WE PAID FOR 2 DOUBLE BEDS AND HAD TO WAIT FOR SOME TIME TO HAVE OUR SITUATION SOLVED. WE HAD TO ASK TO TALK TO THE SUPERVISOR, WHO LATER HAS TO CALL IN THE MANAGER. WE ALSO HAD TO CALL EXPEDIA TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. AT THE END THE MANAGER WAS VERY HELPFULL, SHE OFFERED US WATER AND HAD 2 DOUBLE BEDS ARRANGED.THE FOOD WAS NOT EXCELLENT BUT BETTER, I ORDERED KAPANA STYLE MEAL WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH BOEREWORS BUT IT CAME WITH 2 LAMP CHOPS INSTEAD BECAUSE THEY HAD NO WORS IN STOCK(TOO BAD LAMP IS MY LEAST FAVOURITE MEAT) THE BEDS WERE COMFY BUT THE TOWELS WERE TOO HARD, THE FREEDGE IN THE ROOM WAS TOO NOISY, WE HAD TO SWITCH IT OFF BUT THIS MADE IT EVEN WORSE BECAUSE THE MELTED ICE KEPT ON DRIPPING AND MAKING A VERY UNPLEASENT NOISY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. THE PLACE IS TIDY, FREANDLY STAFFS AND NICE VIEW.

Convenient hotel in Windhoek

Rooms very nice and the pool was excellent for the kids. Breakfast on the patio was quite nice. Buffet was good but too expensive. The Access to internet was awful - extremely inconvenient with stupid codes from front desk and no connectivity most of the time. Requested rollaway several times but never showed up.

Quiet hotel, big rooms, but the service...

Nice great and quiet hotel, not too far from center, too bad the service is not at the level: they had \"forgotten\" to organize my airport pick-up (at 11:00 PM at Windhoek Airport... I called them, they did not care so had to take an unlicensed cab... I'm a grown man used to travelling in Africa , but this is not ideal...); after that, the room service took one hour and one reminder call to bring me one milk shake and a bottle of water (so I gave no gratuity, which made the waiter so angry he left without saying goodbye and leaving the door open...), and last, I had to extend my stay of one night, but they did not get confirmation from Hotels.com, which they solved by telling me I had to pay again if the confirmation did not arrive on their system... had to call Hotels.com and to complain to hotel management (gladly reactive) to solve the issue, elsehow I'd have had to pay twice...

Horrible and horrific in all ways.

Most horrific experience, after having traveled and been in hotels over +10 years worldwide. Incredible slow, uninterested staff, non-communicative among each other, my Hotels.com reservation was NOT in their system they claimed - about 1.5 hours later of fighting then it was. The \"business\" room was dirty, old and run down. Never ever go there.

Clean but outdated rooms.

Rooms need a sprucing up... Pool area very nice but the staff is slow serving drinks and food. The spa is very nice as was the massage I had. Room keys are huge and old fashioned... I guess they do not want you to steal he key!! The staff was very helpful in making transportation arrangements and reservations out of the hotel. Internet data so limited that we needed 10 vouchers just to check emails and surf the web. Food was average.

The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.The hotel is OK but needs an update - the door keys are the old fashioned type with large key fobs to carry around. Wifi was OK but I was told that they're upgrading it soon and so expect great things. The swimming pool was great. Recommended, especially once the Wifi is upgraded.

not a 4 star!

The hotel doesn't really qualify for 4 stars in my eyes, 3 star is the best case.1. Internet is given by portions of 3 hours, not convenient at all. 2. General feeling is that it is built 20-30 years ago and was never renovated. 3. Bathrooms must be full renovated. 4. More electric sockets to be added. 5. Electric keys must be provided (not it is a steel key with Huge trinket. 6. A few times in order to speak to a proper person from the hotel's staff I had to go through 3 persons. Sometimes I was promised smth by housekeeping and the just didn't do and didn't call me to explain delay or apologize, simply forgetting about me. 7. In my initial room, Internet reception was absent. The hotel was quick to move to another room with proper reception. Otherwise - the room was big and clean, and fridge also big that is nice. Location is ok, 5-10 min from the center.

From a business traveller perspective

Hotel seems to focus on German tour groups as the main business.

From a business travellers point of view my main issue was the inefficiency of the WIFI in the rooms. I had planned on working in my room but had to keep going to standby the lifts or go to the lobby to get the WIFI signal. I was there 4 days and the menu is a bit limited if you are having lunch and dinner in the hotel every day. Breakfast buffet was okay but nothing special. The bar services did not have fruit juice unless you like it from a tin.

Gardens and gym were nice if you have any free time.

Some very helpful staff, some not so helpful - like most places I guess !

Just a nice hotel

Like many of the comments here we knew what we were getting. Hotel looks stunning from the outside grounds are beautiful and looks like a full scale resort. Hotel is clean and linen is clean. Hotel on the inside is very dated and needs to be upgraded in all areas hotel rooms and eating areas. Was a good trip back to the 80's.

More expensive, but well worth the price.

It had all of the services we needed. The most valued were: free internet, free shuttle service throughout the day to the local mall and downtown, free locker storage for baggage for times between excursions, wonderful breakfast buffet included that had the best corn fritters ever and a good dinner buffet available. Cosmos, one of the porters, deserves special recognition for his great customer service.

Friendly and clean hotel

We stayed at Safari Court Hotel for one night as we had connecting flights on different days. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We didn't explore the area as we were just passing though, but our needs for cleanliness, early breakfast, money exchange, booking of taxi etc were met to our full satisfaction. I would definitely recommend others to stay here.

ok hotel but not really a four star hotel

Ok hotel. Room nice. Staff responsive to problems. However we had sheets with hair in them and had to wait for them to be changed to go to bed. There were no washcloths. Phone in room could not call out so had to walk down to desk each time we have problems. I would rate this a three star hotel.

Le spa est loué à une personne qui n'est pas intéressée? Elle n'a pas voulu venir à l'hotel pour mettre en marche le sauna; la personne qui était là pour couvrir son absence ne savait pas comment le faire marcher. Le sauna ne fonctionait pas, et j'ai du vérifier plusieurs fois si elle était venue (Karen est son prénom), pour enfin pouvoir en profiter; je voulais avoir un massage de dos le samedi matin: il n'y avait personne; je lui ai envoyé un texto sans réponses!!!
