ケイトズ ネスト ゲストハウス(Kate's Nest Guesthouse)

This is the best place to stay in Windhoek. The staff and guests are all very friendly and helpful.

I liked the attentive staff, and the many facilities offered! I didn't like cold weather!

The environment is very quiet and the receptionist is very friendly.

Friendly, kindness of staff

Thumbs down, there’s plenty of cheaper lodges nearby where you get your own private bath.

Very quiet and friendly, clean place and helpful

I had a great stay at Kate's Nest The room was clean, the service was good and the stuff were friendly. The pool makes for a great pass time during the hot weather. Also transport is made available should you need to go somewhere.

"********** is a universal language"... This establishment is mostly all female staffed and they have short comings with their communication skills which are less than professional. My experience with them was one of passive aggressiveness and downright irritability. Instead of communicating any issues they had with me, they resorted to unwelcoming glances and undignified demeanours. They even once talked about me like I wasn't in the room. My stay was 7 days long, and to say I couldn't wait for it to end would be the understatement of understatements. This is a place one should only spend a day or two in only ...so you're not subjected to their unprofessional communication tactics. Also, their WiFi sucks.

If I were 25, I would have loved Kate’s Nest without reservations. Unfortunately, those days are long behind me, and today, I prioritize a comfortable bed in a quiet room over the social camaraderie with fellow travelers. Kate’s is a cozy, backpacker-style establishment with both dormitories and private rooms. Excellent communal areas, such as a pool, bar, and kitchen facilities, are available. The friendly staff at the reception are more than willing to assist with ordering takeout, which can be enjoyed in a sort of dining area. In short, the emphasis is on providing guests an opportunity to connect with each other while keeping costs relatively low. Notably, the room rates are very reasonable. However... the mattress on my bed was lumpy, causing discomfort in my back. The room doors are paper-thin, making all sounds from the rest of the hotel distinctly audible. Cooking odors also permeate through the cracks. At half-past seven in the morning, the first plane landed at the little airport a few hundred meters away. But by then, I was already awake, as the curtains are so thin that sunlight fills the room well before six. If you align more with the 25-year-old backpacker, Kate’s Nest comes highly recommended. If you lean more towards a comfortable middle-aged traveler, it might be better to spend a bit more for a room closer to downtown Windhoek
