One of only two venues I use in Windhoek. A very german affair. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The facilities are pretty good with a nice pool and garden. Breakfasts are very good!! Staff is quite friendly and helpful. When I resided last time there was no wi-fi, which is a huge letdown for any business traveller and the... More

We spent two nights at the Palmquell at a family-run hotel, which the family is looking to sell. We had a large, comfortable room at the bottom of the property. Our verandah looked out over the garden, full of palms and birds. It was a good spot even though a bit away from the pool and reception. The restaurant was... More

Hotel Pension Palmquell is a comfortable hotel with lovely big rooms, set in lovely gardens with large swimming pool. The restaurant is great with fireplace , serving a small menu of "home cooked" - great for business travellers. The wide breakfast selection was also lovely, although served by a rather rude lady. Although Hotel Pension Palmquell offers free access to... More

Palmquell guest house has rooms are of average standard, and the staff appears a bit stressed and the management perplexed contributing to a less relaxed ambiance. Having small children in the company the pension, however, offers a great garden and a pool, with space for them to play. The first night we had a family room with an extra bed,... More

Palmquell is an excellent choice if you want to relive those summer camp days of yours, where everything you did was watched and commented upon, where you had to calculate everything. Wanting to get some extra sleep on the week-end? At 9am on Saturday, a Germanic voice will phone you to tell you that breakfast stops at 9h30, so you’d... More

Our first stay in afrika was with the Palmquell pension. Although not in the centre, it located in a good neighborhood and the guesthouse is very safe and secure. Lots of room to park your car. The rooms were very nice and big. The kitchen/ menu is not very big but was certainly delicious. We really adored the Oryx carpaccio.... More

Have stayed here several times & keep returning. Rooms are conservatively furnished, but very clean & spacious. Breakfast is the star attraction, fresh fruit, delicious German cold cuts, cheeses & rolls, well-cooked eggs & bacon & excellent coffee. All served competently in the garden during summer or in a charming breakfast room. Dinner is offered in a separate restaurant in... More

Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, the beds extremely comfortable (important after weeks of camping) and there is a big terrace adjacent to most rooms. Breakfast is served in a lush garden... More
