I spent a month at Maison Lovasoa and the hotel is located in a very quiet peaceful area surrounded by a lot of traffic and chaos which is Tana. The staff was wonderful and they were the best part of my stay. The hotel itself is quite old but it has been kept up and for me was the Maison Lovaosa was the ideal place to spend my time while visiting.

Great oasis in Antananrivo

I was on my own while my wife climbed Killimanjaro, so I decided to go to Madagascar. I found Maison Lovasoa from Orbitz. My stay was wonderful! Hony, the owner, mgr, was so helpful. She helped arrange all of my trips to the reserves, as well as a night at a hotel just outside the reserve. I had such a limited time, as well as knowledge of Madagascar that her help was invaluable. I thought that she had done an incredible job with the appointments to the rooms(I stayed in two different ones). Dinners were available most nights and they were great. Also there were restaurants close by. I would recommend to anyone Maison Lovasoa.

英語が通じるとコメントがありましたが、１名のみ、それもカタコトでした。 （なので、電話をかけても通じません） 空港送迎をメールでお願いし返信メールもありましたが、当日空港には誰も来ず、結局タクシーでホテルへ。　 バスタブ付の部屋でしたが、カビが、、、 レストランで食事もできるとの情報もありましたが、レストランではなく受付横にテーブルがある程度でメニューもサラダ・麺類もしくはスープ、デザートが各１種のみ、、 正直期待外れでした、、

Une bonne adresse, qui pourrait encore s'améliorer

Nous avons passé deux nuits (une au début et une à la fin de notre séjour malgache) à la maison Lovasoa. L'accueil est très gentil et efficace, la maison est bien entretenue, la literie est bonne. Par contre, l'insonorisation est très limitée, que ce soit entre les pièces ou avec l'extérieur, et les draps mériteraient d'être renouvelés... Nous avions pas mal de taches, voire des trous, sur nos housses de couette et oreillers.

Le personnel est extra. Vraiment extra, du jamais vu. Hôtel bien situé. entre le Score (supermarché) et le centre ville. Tout se fait à pieds. Dommage que le panneau d'indication de l'hôtel soit derrière... un poteau. Difficile à trouver. Se munir du numéro de téléphone de l'hôtel pour le taxi.

hôtel paisible près de la ville

comme j'ai séjourné 1mois dans la "maison Lovasoa" tres vite je me sentais comme chez moi. le personnel est d'une gentillesse irréprochable. Tous les soirs au dîner j'avais droit au repas typiquement malaga sy c'était un régal!!! merci à la cuisinière Tsiory.... En tous les cas, je vous conseille de ne pas hésiter à réserver votre chambre, vous n'en serez qu'enchante. je salue tout l'équipe et surtout Mme Hony la propriétaire discrète mais efficace. Bravo!!!! et bonne continuation à vous tous.

Po příjezdu taxíkem jsme byli příjemně překvapeni, protože předchozí jízda moc optimistická nebyla. Ale tady bylo klidné prostředí s pozornou obsluhou, třebaže francouzštinou ani malgaštinou nevládneme Studené pivo, nabídka jídel, nakonec i přivolání taxíku. Na zahrádce květiny a útulek pro kouřáky. Doporučujeme.
