About Hotel Thule

According to a Scandinavian myth Thule refers to a place where reality and imagination meet. High on a hill above the city of Windhoek, Namibia where the free winds blow and far horizons beckon, the unique Hotel Thule offers unsurpassed views, an exclusive getaway, and warm hospitality.

Come and enjoy the relaxing pleasures of a remote country estate. The in-house restaurant of Hotel Thule not only offers international style cuisine with a Namibian flavour, but also a spectacular view of the city of Windhoek.

The adjoining balcony is ideal for ‘alfresco' wining and dining, whilst admiring the star-lit skies above, or for starting the day with a scrumptious breakfast. The en-suite guest rooms are spacious and elegantly furnished. They include a luxury VIP guest room, and one specifically designed for physical disabled guests.

All of the rooms are fully air-conditioned to beat the African heat and equipped with a tea and coffee station, a mini bar a safe, satellite television and so much more. Hotel Thule is perfect for a quick business trip to Windhoek, Namibia or an extensive family holiday.

The property is beautiful on the outside (building, vegetation, and view) and the aerial view of restaurant is absolutely amazing! The rooms are bare-bones (dormitory bedding with comfortable mattresses) and dated (80s/90s-style), with minimal on fabric bedding (pillows, blankets, and decor). Yet, the rooms are functional and comfortable. The heater is a bit slow so the winter nighttime is brisk in the room (late June). When we first arrived the water was brown and bubbling out of the pipes, but this cleared up after about 10 minutes of running the water. The staff were friendly and the food was great. We enjoyed the location, as the hotel is in an outside of the city and on top of a nice, hilly neighborhood.

Fantastic Service and Big Rooms

Just had a one night stopover before heading to Swakopmund but enjoyed our stay. The rooms are big and views are great. The service is fantastic. The receptionist booked a shuttle from the airport and to Swakopmund that was a better price than we could find anywhere. The hotel is a little far away from town so plan accordingly.

Beautiful piece of paradise

This is such a wonderful place to stay the whole experience. It has the best view in Windhoek everyone comes here for sunset. Beautiful restaurant too. Small convienient Pool and huge rooms! No frills but huge and comfortable. So much wildlife too can see baboons on the hill, lizards and hyrax ana colourful birds all from the room window. The sunsets are wonderful. I Taxi’d everywhere as it’s easier and cheap enough unless you have a car which is great. The staff are wonderful. The delivered a free wine, newspaper and chocolates to my room because I was travelling alone and was reading outside in the sunset. Stayed here twice during my time for 6 nights. Great people and very well priced.

Stunningly good hotel

From the great facilities to the stunning views to the gorgeous (and huge!!) room, this place ticked all the boxes! And that's before I mention the super friendly staff - one of whom even insisted on ironing our shirts for us when we asked if we could borrow an iron!

Admittedly, the rate was more than some of the other hotels nearby - but it was most definitely worth it!

Das Hotel hat eine absolute traumhafte Lage, da es auf einem Berg angesiedelt ist,abseits von jeglichem Trubel. Vom Restaurant hat man einen einzigartigen Blick über Windhoek.Leider hat das Restaurant an Sonn- und Feiertagen geschlossen.Auf Anfrage,wo man den traditionell gut essen könnte gab es nur ein Restaurantempfehlung.Allerdings wurde man dort mit dem Hoteleigenen Shuttle kostenlos hingebracht und auch wieder abgeholt.Das empfohlene Restaurant war mehr schlecht als recht.Das Frühstücksbuffet ließ absolut keine Wünsche offen es war phantastisch.

Schön gelegenes Hotel. Vom Restaurant und der Bar hat man einen tollen Blick über die Stadt. Wir waren am Anfang und am Ende der Reise dort und können nichts negatives berichten. Leider viel das Ende der Reise auf einen Sonntag und da war das Restaurant geschlossen. Das war sehr schade, weil wir am ersten Tag hier sehr gut gegessen hatten. Aber wir bekamen Vorschläge von alternativen Restaurants sowie einen kostenlosen Shuttle zu dem anderen Restaurant angeboten. Das war wirklich sehr nett. Insgesamt toller Start und tolles Ende unserer Reise und sehr zu empfehlen!

Hotel mit tollem Service und toller Aussicht

Wir haben uns 100 % wohl gefühlt! Großes Zimmer mit Kühlschrank, großes Bad. Eher \"rustikale\" gepflegte Einrichtung. Ein offensichtlich deutsch geführtes Hotel: das sieht man auch beim Frühstück; es gibt Brötchen und auch sonst alles. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse aus ist toll. Insbesondere zum Abendessen haben wir das Restaurant gerne genutzt. Wir durften das Zimmer über die eigentliche Auscheck-Zeit hinaus für 2 weitere Stunden nutzen!
