We received the warmest and friendliest greeting from Gabriel and Tisha at reception after arriving from our exhausting overnight travels. Their smiles instantly boosted our energy. They both went out of their way to elevate our check-in experience and we are grateful for their genuine desire to help their guests feel happy. Keep up the excellent work. We will be back :)

The location was perfect to experience Windhoek and the modern facilities and friendly and helpful staff were appreciated on our first trip to an African country.

All staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived late and left early - the hotel helped to arrange morning transportation for us on short notice and everything went as arranged, even last minute.

The lifts were not working. This was a huge inconvenience. You fumigated. You fumigated the first floor yet it was clear the chemicals and smell would protrude throughout the hotel as it indeed did. You did this so as to save money from having to close at all.
Koekoe was excellent in her service and very nice.
The noise from outside was remarkably loud and overbearing.

This property is central to Windhoek; in fact when I put “Windhoek” into my Google maps, it ends up a block away from the hotel. The food on the roof is just a touch better than the fantastic view. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Every museum is within walking distance. The wifi works better than most places in Namibia and the room is temperature controlled. There is absolutely nothing negative to stare about my stay at this hotel.

Avani is a nice hotel in the city center. We enjoyed the room and facilities, but the service and the staff gave us poor service. At check in we ordered a transfer to the airport for the next day, and confirmed this the day after. The staff told us everything was fine, but seem distressed and unfocused. When we were leaving for the airport there was no transfer arranged for us - and they were blaming us for not booking it in the correct way. We had to book a transfer our self last minute and nearly missed our flight. The staff was unable to help us and just ran around looking confused.

What I Liked was the staff's ability to compensate for my mishandled room reservation. I liked the staff and breakfast buffet very much. I liked the three dining restaurants within the hotel. I liked that the mall was connected to the hotel. I liked the convience and central location of the hotel as well.
What I didn't like was that my hotel reservation from expedia for the Presidential Suite was not honored even though I reserved it four months prior to my stay. I also didn't like that every room had an issue such as door or phone not properly. I also didn't like having to keep requesting face towels for the room daily (even after the room clean).
10.0 / 10.0
Property is perfectly located in heart of the city, where businesses are located. Ideal for people watching yet very peaceful. There is a mall attached the to the hotel so there is a number of activities there. At night, the area is peacefully quiet, with a couple of social lounges area within walking distance.

I stayed in the hotel many many years when it was call The Kalahari Sands Hotel, it was very nice then but a bit ancient. The outside shape is the same but the inside has been totally transfofmed into a modern chic hotel with lovely rooms and many facilities. My main praise is to all the wonderful, helpful, friendly, happy, staff who make the Avani real spacial. I will definately be back

Was centrally located. Service was ok. Nothing to write home about.

I was arriving in Windhuk after an overnight flight and thus wanted to make sure having a room when I arrive, so I booked the day prior to the arrival too. Knowing that if I don’t show up until midnight, they might give my room to someone else, I even wrote them an email in which I asked them to keep my (already paid room) for me. I got an answer that this wouldn’t be a problem.
When I arrived, the lady at the front desk told me that they’d have to store my luggage because there was no room available. ;-(((
It took quite an argument to convince them that I did all I could have a room at my arrival ( and that I paid for it). After about 30 minutes I got a room (mysteriously).
The next VERY disappointing thing in this hotel was the breakfast. I was used to get amazing breakfast at another hotel ( something with country in its name), but this was just rests of fish, a salad bar that was frozen.
In general I can leave only two good aspects of this hotel, the coffee was great and the wifi

A very nice hotel in the center of Wndhoek. My wife stayed at Avani in March and enjoyed it. Clean, friendly staff. Would stay there again if travel to Windhoek. Change some money into local currency for tips. If any Namibian currency remain, can change into US Dollars, Euro or other more popular currencies at the airport.

Great hotel but I was disappointed with service there and I am not a high maintenance guest. I filled in a survey before check in to 'speed it up' yet check in still took 15 minutes at a time when I was the sole guest checking in. The survey had also included a request about how I would like the mini bar to be stocked. That was completely ignored.
I would normally expect, as a resident, to be able to put food and drinks on my room bill but instead at Avani I was asked to pay for a glass of wine at the door of my room, as well as dinner and breakfast before I could leave the restaurant which was a little unwelcoming.
So I liked the hotel but was left a bit disappointed by the poor service which made me feel like I was untrustworthy.

Property was close to things. Easy to get to the road to head to the airport. The cafe seemed to be the only place to eat. The top bar/cafe was not open

The location is very good. Right next to the hotel there is a supermarket.
We had the dinner at the hotel’s restaurant in the 15th floor. But the food was just ok.

The rooms are okay. The food was not. They didn’t have anything I wanted to order from the menu. “They we’re out of stock “ for most staffs. Annoying

The air-conditioning in the first room I became was malfunctioning. I reported this to the reception, and they promised to take care. During the same day the air-conditioning was not repaired, so next morning I reminded the reception regarding this issue. Upon returning to the hotel in the afternoon, I found out that A/C was still not working. Fortunately, this time I spoke to Vadima, who resolved the issue instantly, by providing a new room.
Apart from that service was satisfying, personnel polite, and the bar-restorant on the roof had excellent food and service.

Fantastic stay!

The room was spacious; clean but TV reception was very poor. The restaurant decorum is dull and not bright; breakfast food in the pots not good... very cold. The Chef's uniform not presentable; One Chef serving many guests why?
