Hotel Pension Steiner

Hotel Pension Steiner — A Disappointing Stay with a Few Highlights.
I typically avoid writing negative reviews, but my experience at Hotel Pension Steiner left much to be desired. While the hotel has potential, several issues made my stay less enjoyable.
Firstly, the air conditioning in my room was not functioning, which made it uncomfortable, especially during the warmer parts of the day. The bed linens, though clean, lacked the softness and freshness one expects, likely due to the absence of fabric softener. The bathroom setup was particularly inconvenient, as the bathtub only had a hand shower, making it almost impossible to shower without water splashing everywhere.
That said, the breakfast was a redeeming aspect. It was sumptuous, with a variety of fresh and delicious options that truly stood out. The staff were polite, and the location is convenient, but unfortunately, these positives couldn’t compensate for the shortcomings in basic amenities.
With some improvements, Hotel Pension Steiner could offer a much better experience. For now, I would only recommend it if you’re willing to overlook these issues.

During our stay in Windhoek, we chose Hotel Pension Steiner for its central location and reasonable rates, and it proved to be a convenient and comfortable choice for exploring Namibia’s capital. It’s a simple yet charming option for travelers looking for a cozy stay with a personal touch.
Location:
The location of Hotel Pension Steiner is fantastic for anyone wanting to explore Windhoek. It’s situated in the city center, just a short walk from Independence Avenue, which is home to many shops, restaurants, and key landmarks like Christuskirche and the National Museum. For those relying on public transport or taxis, everything is within easy reach, and the area feels safe and accessible for walking.
Accommodation:
The rooms at Pension Steiner are basic but comfortable. My room had everything I needed for a short stay, including air conditioning, a TV, and free Wi-Fi. Everything was clean and functional. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom, had hot water and was well-maintained. If you’re not looking for luxury but rather a clean, quiet place to rest after a day of sightseeing, this place fits the bill.
Service:
The service at Hotel Pension Steiner was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always available to assist with questions or requests. They provided me with recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. Their warmth made the stay more enjoyable, and you can tell they take pride in their guesthouse.

Not a good start to find our room selection configuration was unavailable however magically a suitable room became available. We could not get the TV to work both times we stayed there. Room 4 had a noisy fridge but room 3's was quiet. They put on a good breakfast. These rooms are in need of refurbishment so I would rate them a 2 star at best.

Friendly and accommodating, good breakfast. The price reflects what you get, we used it as a stop over and it had everything we needed.

Such a lovely complex with a quiet dining area, pool, car parking, all the while in a good central location! If I'm coming to Windhoek again, I'm staying here!

Unfortunately there was miff on gbe ceiling and on tbe tiles in ghe bathroom. The water was running nonstop at the handbasin and could not be turned off on the wall. Very disappointing. The breakfast was great and the security staff and breakfast lady were superfriendly. The reception guy was running back and forth between two hotels. Overall it is not very well maintained and understaffed.

We stayed here at the beginning (and end) of our epic three week safari across Namibia and Botswana in 2006. A perfect place to launch an adventure, as well as a comfortable place to stay all around. It has a very charming courtyard with so many birds to enjoy and photograph, including active weaver birds nest. Food was good, beds were comfortable. Great location for access to backie rentals, airport, etc.
