Good value for money

A cosy place with a nice atmosphere. Bathroom seemed to be newly renovated. 😃 Good value for money. Nice eggs in the morning could have been nice with some cereal as well.

A great stay in Tsumeb!

This is my 4th night staying at Tsumeb Backpackers. The place is very clean and has everything you need. I did a great 2 day tour of Etosha and an interesting visit to Obili. Tsumeb is a walkable little town and the Museum is worthwhile.

O localização e o conforto do quarto é muito boa! Tem estacionamento e até sinalização na cidade de como encontrar o hostel. O ruim é que o café é limitado so 1 torrada, 2 ovos e bacon.

Great for Etosha

Easy check-in and great double room! Area felt a bit dodgy in the dark, but could just be that we arrived at night and didn’t see the town in the day time. It felt more like a guest house than a backpackers. Conveniently located for Etosha. Breakfast was simple but tasty.

Best value

Comfortable rooms, tiny pool, nice garden and good kitchen with barbecue. Breakfast has the main thing - big pot of real coffee, and sometimes little treats. Very helpful team, relaxed atmosphere. I stayed longer and came back after a tour in the surroundings
