- "Plenty food choices for dinner and it's included in the price" - "Great value for money. The evening buffet was delicious. Room clean and spacious. Good location next to gate for Sossusvlei. The scenic flight from here is excellent." - "We stayed in a nice, big room in the front row and had a lovely view of the desert from our window. A buffé dinner is included in the price for the room and the tables are set outside with the desert as closest neighbour and candles are lit as the dark approaches. We even had a jackal coming very close to our table - it had probably been fed by some thoughtless guests in the past. Good parking. The hotel is situated just by the main gate going to Sossusvlei and if you set off early in the morning, you do not have to spend a too long time in the queue for registration."
