The staff was AMAZING. I didn't have a fan in my room, so they grabbed one from the back for me. The food was really good too; i regret not eating there more

Victor United States of America

Everything but mostly they were super nice all the time. it’s a breeze of fresh air in Madagascar. They also helped us a lot with our questions. The room we had was very clean and cozy, like having our own bubble to rest.

Irene Spain

Hakim France

Ann Germany

It's a classic hostel—great for cheap lodging and meeting people, and this one had loads of neat places to sit and hang out and work if so inclined (with good wifi!)—options for both those wanting privacy as well as those wanting to socialize. We also knew we wouldn't have time to go to Cotisse before needing to head out, and they were able to purchase the ticket for us with no additional cost, which was a huge help logistically. I needed to keep my stuff around (in the locker and behind the counter) after checkout for a couple hours, and they were fine with that, which also helped. They had locks for lockers available for a 5000 ariary deposit, too. And the restaurant serves the closest thing to real Mexican food I've found in Madagascar, along with a selection of other delicious offerings.

There is a good vibe in the hotel. The staff is nice and helpful. There is good music and from time to time there is live music.
