因佛特飯店(Hotel Infotur)

My expectations were very low given the highly critical reviews of this hotel so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was okay in the main. It is a bit of a drive out of town with nothing around within walking distance. Rooms at the front have balconies with a view out to sea although I couldn't get my balcony door open and anyway the winter weather was a bit too chilly for sitting in the morning open air. There is a spacious and reasonably appointed reception area. The wifi worked fine in reception but not in the rooms. My room was quite big with bed and a couple of chairs. As others have noted the mattress was unbelievably hard. Why would you buy a mattress like that - and why would anyone sell them? The lighting was good once I worked out the switches and dials which were unnecessarily complicated. It's worth persevering because all the lights worked but others traveling with me failed the switch/dial test and sat in half-light in their rooms assuming that some lamps were broken. The room had a fridge and safe but no kettle, cups or even glasses in the bathroom. Very odd. The bathroom looked newly renovated with a very nice shower. The breakfast buffet was adequate. I didn't take any other meals. Overall, the Infotur seems like a reasonable place to stay for a night or two provided that you have transport to get to and from Namibe town.
