Hotel-Pension Steiner

Windhoek


Although it has an excellent city-centre location just a few minutes’ walk from Independence Ave, this small hotel-pension is sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the street scene. Simple but comfortable rooms open to a thatched bar and swimming pool, where you can quickly unwind.
