The rooms at the Roof of Africa vary, and although clean, are oddly designed and the pine furniture gives an overall low budget feel. The first room I was offered was straight off the parking lot and unappealing to say the least. Fortunately moved to the interior area. Parts of the central garden are neat and charming, whereas other areas... More

I left planning for where to stay in Windhoek until about the last minute, and when I actually started calling hotels, I was dismayed to find that either they didn't have the amenities I wanted (TV, restaurant, pool), or they were really expensive or way in the outskirts of Windhoek. I was thrilled to find Roof of Africa, and thrilled... More

The hotel is located within walking distance of the popular Joe’s Beer House. We had a clean, large, standard room with a safe, fridge & TV. The staff are lovely & let us check in 3 hours earlier as we arrived early. They were also very helpful when we needed to print & scan some documents. The WIFI access is... More

While the hotel was clean and service was good, the rooms are lacking in character, and the bar and restaurant look like any standard middle range business and small conference hotel. The staff...

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the years and have always had a wonderful stay. The staff are always friendly and willing to assist. You can enjoy a drink or two at the fully stocked bar and the buffet meals are always a treat, there are several dishes to choose from so you should have no problem... More

It's not the most modern hotel and certainly not very plush but I found it comfortable, clean and the staff I dealt with were all very courteous and professional. My room had a large bathroom (with a really... More

This place is quite annoying: the rooms are not ok, old and dirty, there is no hot water in the shower even after waiting for a long.....long......time and the management just doesn't seem to care much at all. Arrogant people (!). Shameful to pick a name like they have done, honestly haven't had such a bad place in Africa before.... More

Awful place. Dirty room, disgusting food, rude and sarcastic management. Wouldn't stay here again even if I was paid to do so.

We stayed here for 1 night at the beginning of an explore touring holiday. Our room was very basic but functional. Childrens room was a little better decorated. Positives. Bar and outdoor area were very nice with acceptable level of service. Clean Breakfast was adequate. Smooth check in and check out. Walking distance to Joes Beer House. Negatives Noisy. Rooms... More
