I had a wonderful experience at The Makalani hotel. The highlight was definitely the amazing food—those steaks were truly to die for! The rooms were clean and reasonably comfortable, and the atmosphere was quite inviting. However, the smoke smell in the reception area was a bit off-putting. Overall, it’s a solid place to stay, especially if you enjoy good dining options.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which had a lot going for it, including clean rooms and a really charming pool area. The staff was accommodating and helpful, making the experience even better. However, I did notice that the rooms could use some updating, and there was an issue with smoke entering some rooms, which was a bit distracting. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially given the amenities and service provided.

My stay at Makalani Hotel was quite pleasant with clean rooms and a helpful staff. The location is convenient for shopping and nearby attractions like the Tsumeb Museum. While I enjoyed the food and the overall ambiance, I did experience some small bugs during my stay, which could be a bit off-putting for some guests. Overall, it offers great value for the price, and I'd recommend it for a short visit.

The Makalani Hotel is a solid choice for travelers seeking comfort on their journey through Namibia. My room was spacious and clean, and I appreciated the helpful management when I needed to extend my stay for vehicle repairs. The dining experience was pleasant too, though the pool area was unfortunately off-limits during my visit. While the Wi-Fi worked well, the occasional stinkbug made an appearance during my stay, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, this hotel offers value for money but has some areas needing improvement.

I enjoyed my stay at this quaint hotel in Tsumeb, with lovely clean rooms and an excellent courtyard pool. The bar prices were the best I've seen in Namibia, and the Wi-Fi was free.

I decided to stay at this hotel after enjoying a lovely meal by the pool last year, but this time I was disappointed to find the pool wasn’t available as it was under renovation. The rooms were good and clean, and I appreciated having Wi-Fi in the room. The restaurant served a good selection of food, and I felt secure with the parking available. Overall, it was a decent stay, but without the pool, it lost some charm.

I had a pleasant dining experience with superb food and friendly service. The outdoor seating area is lovely, although the nearby pool can splash water onto your table. The restaurant itself feels a bit ordinary, and I’ve heard the rooms may not be the best, which is something to consider. Overall, the food and service really shine, but there’s room for improvement in the accommodation quality.
