Roof of Africa Hotel

The rooms are cozy and comfortable, with exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. The hotel also offers convenient shuttle services and good food. However, no significant disadvantages were mentioned.

For: Great inhouse Beer & Food and a hop skip & a jump to Joes if you want a change of scenery. Lovely small beer garden. Sport (rugby & football) on big screen. Against: This appears chiefly to be a conference centre. The out-of-town attendants of which noisily partied-up to well after midnight in the pool area right by our room on the two separate occasions we stayed there. Rather annoying and inconsiderate.

Roof of Africa used to be known to serve amazing buffets, which included a great selection of Namibian meats, as well as salads and desserts, perfect to take down with a cold beer from their on-site brewery. Unfortunately this is definitely not the case anymore. We went there for our year-end function in December 2021, and more recently for a private dinner, and both times we were highly disappointed in the downgrade of standard, not only when it comes to the selection of food, but also the availability and the long wait to be served (there was one person to serve a queue of about 20-30 HUNGRY people). The quality of the food is not what it used to be, the meat was dry and overcooked and the options very limited, which makes the buffet highly overpriced. Will not be going back there. Can't say much about the hotel itself, except that it's housed in a very nice building, with intricate woodwork – the roof is especially worth looking at (even more so because the food isn't worth looking at at all).
