Kate's Nest Guesthouse

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

Stayed 2 nights here on the way and back from the desert, is ok for the price had a good sleep, beds were comfortable, clean toilets and showers. I would not stay longer in the shared dorm as they have limited space to put your stuff when all beds are occupied. Anyone can just come into the shared room with no key. Room mate got scammed by other guests, but I guess you just need to be careful when travelling everywhere. Shops and supermarket are a good 10-15 minutes walk, you can order food by the phone, the receptionist will help out. To open the main entrance gate with the key card, you have to be careful, it can injure your hand if you don't do it quick enough from the outside, my hand got caught and injured in the hole form the outside when I touched my card between the rail and the gate. many plates were left unwashed by the kitchen sink and tables. Nice outside seating areas with small swimming pool, snacks and drinks available for purchase, card machine was not working on my arrival, Wifi was bad inside the room. Airport shuttle was cheaper than taxi, the receptionist Angela was very helpful with arranging that and other things she help me with.

I went to windoek because I like traveling, but I didn’t expect this kind of experience from Namibian people. Especially from Kate nest guest house it was pleasure for me to be there. Thanks to all you

Choosing to spend your night at Kate's Nest Guesthouse is not bad at all. You will have your peace and the attendant's are also nice people. My advise, you need a security guard at the main gate. Angela God bless you for taken good care of me during my stay at your property. I was sicked but you had time and patience for me.

Very cheap and such a value for money its perfect for those traveling on a budget and looking to stay in the city for days but don't mind sharing , its safe and friendly and overall it feels like home .

I had a wonderful time! The staff is super friendly and helpful for advice on getting around and what to do. The place is beautiful and comfortable. I was suprised at the great quality given the cheap price of staying in a dorm room. I highly recommned staying here!

Place is excellent, super clean, place to be for those who prefer to cater for themselves or can alternatively grab a take away. The room in which I was accommodated (Ruacana) was spacious, tidy and had a bonus beautiful window view to the outside pool where one can relax after along day in the city. No hassle of standing at the gate since guests are given cards for easy entry and exit. Quiet hours are strictly observed. There is a speed point too, convenient for transacting your payment for the stay. The receptionists are very friendly, warm and welcoming. Tip: It would be nice if more cutlery were put at the self catering section for the convenience of the guests and guest towels put in the dormitories.
