I am currently staying at this hotel (thankfully I am checking out today). I find it hard to believe it that they can charge this much money for such a substandard hotel. I have had some good service but unfortunately it would have to be much better to make up for this mess. They did upgrade me to suite but... more

A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE AT KALAHARI SANDS HOTEL!!! I booked my hotel online at octopustravel.co.uk. A very good site to get good deals on good hotels. I left UK@8pm on a flight to Windhoek in Namibia. I did not have a direct flight so I had to change in J.B. I did not get to the hotel until 3 pm... more

During the past year I have stayed several times at Kalahari Sands hotel and keep returning. This is mostly due to the great location. The hotel is very centrally located for all sightseeing and business in Windhoek. Shops and museums are close. The hotel is located in a shopping center and there is a supermarket (e.g. for drinks and snacks)... more

No hardship to stay here. Don't go in expecting 5-star service as you might get it in North America, but it's comfortable and decent, and we got a good rate for staying longer.

I had a three night stay at the KS hotel in Feb 2009. The lifts are still "under repair" so I was pleased to have a 4th floor room and could use the stairs. I was staying with a group who had a room block of ~10 rooms and the joke at dinner was: "What's wrong in your room?!" as... more

I have stayed at Kalahari Sands twice. Both times, the lifts have not been working properly resulting in long waiting times - which can be as long as 15 minutes. The property is undergoing some sort of refurbishment, which caused some noise during the day. Otherwise, the hotel is very quiet and peaceful. The rooms I have stayed in were... more
