Kate's Nest Guesthouse & Backpackers arvostelua

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
