The best hotels Madagascar

The bungalows are right for the price, especially as the site is magnificent.

The spacious wooden villas, set on the lagoon so to speak, cover 120 to 200 m² and are equipped with 2 to 4 bedrooms with kitchen, living room, terrace with a hammock and a small garden facing the sea. Each villa has its own housekeeper who will accompany you while respecting your privacy, take care of the housework and can also prepare Malagasy dishes as if you were at home. Vanibeauté's salon for massages, and in the same structure, the restaurant "La Varangue" with its large terrace, its deckchairs and its nice decoration, offers pleasant meals.

Very rustic.

Classic hotel, popular because of its soft prices for the comfort offered. Each room has private health with hot water, a small terrace and satellite TV. Shops, restaurants and bars nearby. One of the most honest, but without great charm.

Opened in September 2015, the Goyave expanded in 2017 with five new bungalows, including two «big family» accommodating up to 5 people. Located at the intersection between RN 2 and the road to Andasibe, its bungalows in height offer a view of the valley and a little refuge in the face of the humidity of the forest. The rooms are simple and comfortable, with WLAN in the rooms and the very pleasant reception. 

A guest house run with talent by Albert, a Swiss certified chef and baker-pastry chef and Lily his partner. A gourmet refuge located in the middle of an orchard of fruit trees on the shores of Lake Mantasoa. Cheese fondue and raclette lovers will be delighted. Deli meats, jams, breads and homemade pastries! As for the rooms (2 double rooms and a family suite), they will remind you of the warm and authentic atmosphere of the Swiss chalets, built in wood and stone. We take refuge there with delight.

A modern and central hotel, in a quiet street just a stone's throw from Colbert Street, equipped with 34 rooms (including 3 luxury suites) with very good comfort: rosewood furniture, air conditioning, safe, satellite TV, telephone, private health (hot water). A minimalist plant, but it avoids bad surprises. The reception is smiling and efficient. We offer 4 x 4 excursions and transfers from/to Lemmer. For the price displayed, honestly, there is not much to criticize!

Small base huts and most typical, on the edge of the lagoon side road. The family of Alain and Annoncia is a simple kindness, and Mrs. kitchen very well (fish, shrimp, lobster, etc.). An address for adventurers made.

Following the death of the senator in 2011, the avenue was renamed Princess Fatima Achimo. Right in front of the market, in a popular area, a good set for the price (especially rooms overlooking the street, certainly noisy early in the morning). A family case (from Diego) opened since 1990, a simple address, a little sexy, but for that price it is difficult to complain. During our passage the window was in work, to improve customer comfort, Éric the owner installed double glazing and a bed bed in the rooms. The hotel has a generator to anticipate the cuts and a water surpresseur for the shower. Breakfast takes place in the dining room at the first level, which is open in the afternoon and evening to the public, the chef Malagasy offers chino-European cuisine. To find yourself in a nice atmosphere.

Small budget hotel located only minutes walk from Colbert Street. The rooms are simple and clean. Beautiful sea view from the terrace and restaurant area, a luxury for relaxation. In the plate, the kitchen is good and it is a little fair. The owners (Jacques and Josiane) are welcoming and caring. A good step in transit.

22 very simple rooms in the city centre (the cheapest are cavernous, the most expensive, with hot water). The restaurant (Chinese specialities) is quite suitable but not always very rich. Mrs. Charlotte is making efforts.

Rooms with parquet floors are tastefully decorated, an asset in this range of prices. Rooms and terraces. Good maintenance in general, and pleasant welcome. A good address at a low price.

The hotel is close to the airport. It offers five guest rooms in a little impersonal but rather comfortable, a snack and restaurant service (no expensive at all). Transfers are guaranteed (one on two pay fees) but wifi is free.

This hotel, bar restaurant is located in the center of Ivato, only 900 meters from the airport - convenient for morning departures! The place has a large staircase garden, beautiful corners and drowned corners in the vegetation, a beautiful shaded terrace, a parking lot and even a boulodrome for the fans of the petank. The rooms are simple but clean and functional, with a value for money. It is the French Stephanie who holds the house, while in the kitchen you can enjoy Malagasy and French flavors and a selection of snacks and pizzas.

The atmosphere is a little bohemian, warm colours. Laudable efforts even if the whole remains very simple.

Bungalows are not sufficiently highlighted (the site has no great charm: a car park). On the other hand, they are very comfortable and tastefully arranged. A good address for the price.

Old traditional bungalows were redone inside. The rooms are very friendly, but the facilities are suitable. Difficult to climb to upper bungalows, stairs are a little fanciful, not? They do not take advantage of their situation in the above way, because only the two front bungalows, family, enjoy a wide panorama. At the same time, the establishment is generally correct. Welcome home.

Beautiful site. The restaurant bar (in traditional materials) on the beach is nice as everything. Unfortunately the swimming pool is only a hole without water. The whole is correct and can seduce a small budget clientele, even if for the atmosphere it will sometimes be necessary to iron.

Suitable.

This-room hotel is simple and clean. It is one of the most popular and popular markets in the city. Good value for money (especially rooms on the top floor, very airy and bright).

Good value for money for this charming address with a total of 14 bungalows of 25 m ². The feet in the water, on the lagoon or in the garden, all are equipped with bathroom (hot water 24 h/24), net, safe, and a varangue or a small private terrace. Decco finely thought and giving character to the interiors, warm besides being original. Petanque, volleyball field and ping pong on site. Taken up by Philippe, the establishment has undergone major renovations since 2015.

Together very well maintained, with some search in the garden. The rooms are quite spacious, especially the family. Restaurant on site. A good value for money ratio. However, taxi is essential for travel in the evening.

Correct address for small budgets, well located. Bungalows are small and rustic, but they are comfortable. Common health care is fairly recent. Also a restaurant, you share a table under a boats.

The Hôtel Restaurant Orchidée du Bemaraha in Andadoany is a haven of peace in the heart of nature. Ideally located near the Tsingy, this establishment offers both comfort and a change of scenery.

Located on the outskirts of the village of Andreba on the shores of Lake Alaotra, this community tourism project has been initiated by the Madagascar Wildlife Conservation Association (MWC). The camp consists of typical houses Sihanaka. At present, four rooms and a camping area are available. Local meals are prepared within the camp.

Proposed activities. Tours in canoe at the aurores with local guides at MWC, in the marsh of Lake Alaotra. A discovery over the water that may allow you to see a species of endemic lémurien called Bandro (Hapalemur alaotrensis). The guides offer other excursions around the lake to discover the fauna (very rich avifauna around the lake) and local flora. The best period to observe wildlife stretches from December to April, at dusk and sunset when animals are most active.

Minimizing impact. To minimize the negative impacts on the ecosystem due to a high influx of tourists, the MWC association has put in place several rules: The traditional Maison house can only receive 8 tourists, for excursions a maximum of 2 canoes with a total of 4 tourists is allowed, excursions are limited in time to avoid disturbing the fauna in its natural habitat.

Local population. Camp Bandro is fully managed by the members of the association. Tourists are received by MWC Andreba Association composed only of members of the local community. The benefits of ecotourism activity are used to finance micro-projects within the village (drinking water, public toilets…).

Hotel very close to the airport, yet without noise pollution and run by a young couple of French adorable. Spread out in a vast garden, the single-storey buildings stand on the site of a former amusement park, some of whose attractions/activities have been preserved. An ideal stopover for families, especially with young children. Sober and comfortable, the 20 rooms occupy a vast garden with a swimming pool. The bar-restaurant is extended by a large terrace where you can enjoy your meals (menu on the slate). A practical and friendly address!

The rooms are equipped with a single bed or a double bed, bathroom, television (local channels and canal +), some with a balcony. The comfort is sufficient, the cleanliness exemplary. The hotel also has a restaurant and a small outdoor pool reserved for guests. A good value for money in this range.

Simple package but fairly well maintained and above all good value/price ratio: There is even a small swimming pool (open to outside people for 5 000 Ar, so not so quiet). Atmosphere of guest table. The reception of the boss is not unanimous. However, it gives good advice. Excursions are offered (very good and not expensive), especially to the caves in three days or quad.

Seven clean bungalows, well decorated, with private health and mosquito nets. You can't really bathe, but the beach is charming. Family friendly home, Jimmy and Marcel say «Biscuit», which organizes all kinds of activities and excursions. There is a kayak on offer. Small restaurant with very good dishes. And a good drink at sunset!

Six studios with kitchenette, small lounge. Four family apartments (living room, kitchen, living room and two bedrooms) for two to four people. It is an ideal place for business people and families with one or two children. The staff were friendly and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The rooms are spacious (bathrooms also) and have all amenities of use: air conditioning, telephone, flat screen TV, mini bar, safe. The suite is high standing. In short, a structure that keeps the road.

Clean bungalows with sanitary (bucket), or rooms with common health, all quite clean. You eat well (excellent red rice to bichiques, count 2 500 Ar the dish).

The rooms, all dressed bamboo, are pretty well decorated. A user-friendly ensemble with character, but the maintenance is sometimes random. Think about reserving.

From the small terrace of the restaurant, the view is beautiful on the rice fields. It is a pity that the rooms do not benefit. Clean, comfortable and welcoming. The bungalows are engoncés in a small, charming but somewhat cramped park across the street. In the end, an honest choice, in the proper restaurant too.

Six bedrooms, correct bungalows at about 35 000 Ar with hot water (not much pressure), including three with a small terrace. In the main building, 5 less inviting rooms (cold water, W.C. outside). From the restaurant, we overlook the lake.

Ideally placed on the beach, but difficult to access, between the restful Bay of Belo-sur-Mer and the majestic Baobabs forest, this fairly deep eco-village is perfectly located in the environment… and in society! It works for the preservation of biodiversity, for the promotion of local jobs and for the economic recovery of Belo. The huts are built of local materials only, electricity is supplied by solar panels (the whole is self-sufficient), and the washrooms are dry to preserve fresh water. In each unit, beds were barded against hammocks, and due to: they are all made hand in Hutamac weaving workshop. You will also have the possibility to buy on-site from 100,000 Ar.

This adorable establishment with its pretty red shuttered front is the boutique and more intimate version of the Grand Hôtel Urban, located 200 metres away. We find the chic urban style of the Barcelona-based brand Andilana, in cosy and cocooning fashion for this beautiful and large 4-storey townhouse, whose 13 spacious rooms combine the elegance of white with the warmth of wood. Dedicated to the hotel's guests, the lounge/library area on the first floor is a haven of calm with an enveloping decoration. On the ground floor, you can have breakfast in a large old-fashioned dining room with a delicate charm. For lunch, dinner or a drink on the terrace, head for the Grand Hôtel Urban and its trendy atmosphere.
