When I arrived in the evening, everything was ready for a quick check-in. I was travelling, so it was just an overnight stay, leaving again early the next morning. They only started serving breakfast after I would have left, so they agreed to prepare a take-away breakfast pack for me. It was ready when I left at 5:30am. The rooms are spacious, clean. They have good WiFi, have coffee making facilities and a small fridge in the room. All in all, I would recommend it, especially for travellers looking for a convenient place for an overnight stay. ##### Rolf Joachim Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul May 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Good Value for the Money Charming guest house. Nothing fancy, but clean and functional. Except the internet. The WiFi did not work at night, which caused me major problems. The area is good. The staff are nice. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### richard, france Feb 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a surprise! Mariental is a bit of a scruffy town, but makes up for it with lovely people. Several are to be found at this guest house. My room/suite was big, comfortable and spotless. TV showed loads of channels, a/c worked well etc. So break your journey here. You wont be disappointed ##### richard Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hugh, Australia Jan 17, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Nice roomy old house that could have potential. Booked and paid online about two months previously but we were told they had no record of it when we arrived. Showed the receipt and had to repeat three times that we had already paid. The girl consulted the owner by Phone and we were allowed to check in. We were promised a room + kitchen but were given just a smallish room instead. That whole process took 45 mins. At breakfast the next morning, the same conversation with a different person - we were told we had not paid for breakfast. Another phone call with (presumably) the owner, eventually given breakfast. The actual property is a nice old house (situated near a truck stop) and has potential but the quality of service was not up to scratch. ##### Hugh Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Hana, Cape Town Dec 25, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient location before heading to Sesriem. I am very glad we stayed in this B&B. It is a perfect base for starting your trip towards Sesriem, that could take 5 - 6 hours, mostly on a rough road. We had a whole apartment - a bedroom with a powerful aircon, very spacious bathroom with both bath and a shower, kitchen with satellite TV, and a private shaded parking space. A perfect place to relax before or after a long journey. ##### Hana Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Ehepaar, Deutschland Dec 7, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sauberes Gästehaus, freundliches Personal.
