The best youth hostels Madagascar

An address for backpackers with Mexican restaurant, bar, lounge, terrace, garden, wifi, projection room, hammocks... In the heart of the city and at that price, it's more than welcome! Ideal to meet other travellers, organize the rental of a car with several people or simply exchange tips. We sleep in dormitories or private rooms, the whole is clean and welcoming of Christine, former manager of the Atlantis diving centre in Anakao; her companion Rayan, a former diver in the Australian Navy, organizes "cave diving", he is also a producer of Red Island beer; what else?

A table d'hôtes open almost every day (Tuesday to Friday and Sunday evenings) offering tapas, pizzas and grilled meats, as well as bread, baked in a wood-fired oven, to eat in or take away; a pretty, pleasant and naturally ventilated house on the heights of Andilana, with four independent bedrooms, to rent together or separately, and a campsite with huts and safari tents. Not to mention the warm welcome offered by Jean-Louis, who also offers sailing excursions with his own trimaran.

A good plan for small budgets. The bungalows are simple but pleasant and colourful, such as the large garden and the bar, lively in the evening. Well thought out. There are also various excursions and activities.

Located in the bay of Ambondrona, 50 m from the beach, this youth hostel, managed by the diving center Scuba Nosy Be, welcomes individuals, young people of all ages, families, groups, throughout the year. It has 4 bungalows equipped with bunk beds for 14-16 people each, outdoor sanitary facilities (9 toilets and 9 showers for women, 12 toilets and 9 showers for men), a common kitchen, a restaurant and a relaxation area. For a long time, an excellent value for money for budget travelers.
