A very nice hotel in the center of Wndhoek. My wife stayed at Avani in March and enjoyed it. Clean, friendly staff. Would stay there again if travel to Windhoek. Change some money into local currency for tips. If any Namibian currency remain, can change into US Dollars, Euro or other more popular currencies at the airport.

Great hotel; service could be improved
Great hotel but I was disappointed with service there and I am not a high maintenance guest. I filled in a survey before check in to 'speed it up' yet check in still took 15 minutes at a time when I was the sole guest checking in. The survey had also included a request about how I would like the mini bar to be stocked. That was completely ignored. I would normally expect, as a resident, to be able to put food and drinks on my room bill but instead at Avani I was asked to pay for a glass of wine at the door of my room, as well as dinner and breakfast before I could leave the restaurant which was a little unwelcoming. So I liked the hotel but was left a bit disappointed by the poor service which made me feel like I was untrustworthy.
