Advantages: Centrally Located, Good shops and restaurants Disadvantages: Lack of public transportation
...) upon your return.
If you are staying at a guesthouse or pension outside the main cluster of streets downtown, then a car is a must. Taxi's are available, although they are often packed full and driven without much care and attention. This is a fact you will become aware of if you do any driving of your own...
Windhoek has many fine places to eat, my personal favourite being "Jenny's Place" in Klein Windhoek (Three to five minutes drive from Independence Avenue). This has a nice gift shop, and you can sit outside in a quiet garden under big umbrellas while enjoying their fare. Serving a delicious breakfast, it also makes an enjoyable stop after some busy souvenir shopping.
On the whole Windhoek is a relatively safe city, where old world colonial charm, African culture, and modern commerce exist side by side.
If you stick to the main...

Advantages: Very close to city centre Disadvantages: none
...The Anchor GuestHouse is situated in the city centre. From Dublin Airport, travel on the 747 (Easily caught from outside the airport exit, well signposted and regular) Stay on the bus until Dublin Bus Station, the Anchor GuestHouse is situated in Lower Gardiner Street which is just round the corner from the bus station.
The GuestHouse is a town house with a new extension on the back. There are a few steps to go up and I have not seen a ramp. From the entrance hall, up about 10 stairs you walk through a sitting room to the extension which has a lift.
The rooms are all well presented, clean and tidy with Television and en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. A tea tray will be put in the room for an extra small payment and will be filled up everyday.
We have only stayed in twin rooms, but they will let them...

Advantages: Reasonably Priced Disadvantages: Very Small Rooms
...My partner and I stayed at the South Hampton GuestHouse for a weekend in early 2006. We choose the property because it was reasonably close to the centre of Cambridge Township (about 15-20 minutes walk) and also for it's price. We paid £45/night for the two of us including breakfast. The general décor was nothing to marvel about, a bit pokey and very old fashioned. However, keeping in mind what we paid our stay was reasonable.
The rooms (I think there were 4 or 5 in total) were on the small side. Ours was fitted with a double bed, a single chair, one bedside table, a small wardrobe with several drawers attached and a tv mounted on the wall. There was a little side tray containing tea, coffee milk and a few biscuits. There was very little room for much else and we had to store our 1 suitcase on top of the wardrobe...
