I found out about this hotel by accident, but boy am I glad that I did. The hotel is situated in a gated area off of a busy street in Tana. I don't think it is a big hotel, and the atmosphere is fantastic. Feels very asian - dark woods, smart furniture, clean lines. It is located by a small... More

Dear Sir, Thank you for your opinion. There are accidents that we would like more often .... I will of course pass on your encouragement to the entire staff of the hotel Tamboho. We are glad you enjoyed the self-service refrigerators and the environment. We look forward to welcoming you again among us. Best regards Dimitri More

A small boutique hotel but fantastic, friendly, welcoming staff and a great central location for your business trip in a secure gated compound. Food in the restaurant is fine too, and the breakfast is good. The hotel doesn't have a lobby bar so if you want a post-dinner drink after a day's work you won't get one, but otherwise this... More

Dear Nick, thanks a lot for your review. I will print it for your staff to show them the result of their work. And we will think about some drink at the reception then during the night, it would be possible to purchase your favorite drink. Best regards Dimitri More

The Tamboho is a great hotel, from the warm friendly welcome to the comfy rooms this hotel is just great. The waterfront is a bit of a weird concept, even if you can see why it has been done. But this is the only thing that sits slightly off about this wonderful hotel. Loved staying here, will definitely return.

The simple Malagasy style is appealing as one steps into the quaint lobby. The staff are friendly and helpful; however, English is not widely spoken. The rooms are spacious and simple - not cluttered with meaningless hotel paraphernalia. One missing item though was an iron. The staff was though happy to iron my shirts for a price. The French/Malagasy restaurant... More

I have now stayed at Hotel Tamboho on numerous occassions and had both colleagues and guests sojourn there for business and leisure over the past year. The location is brilliant, the premises are exceptional and there are few places in the region that could rival the personal touch given by the staff. I recommend the kitchen highly and greatly appreciate... More

I use to stay at Tamboho Hotel for all my business travel in Antananarivo. the hotel personnel is qualified and always ready to help. While it's located in one of the city's beautiful complex with shops, restaurants and other facilities, the top quality of bed rooms, free internet wi-fi and free soft drinks are surely most of the advantages offered...

Exceptionally comfortable modern hotel within a gated complex of shops and restaurants with an ATM just across the road. Multi-lingual professional and friendly staff ensured that everything went smoothly in a country often perceived as being disordered. The food here is top class and the portions are hefty. Our rooms were clean and comfortable and beautifully furnished with a mix... More

A tranquil gem in the middle of bustling ‘Tana, the Tamboho is built around a pool, settled into the landscape beside a bird-filled lake. The rooms and public spaces are decorated with fine taste and attention to detail, and incorporate the work of local artists. The hotel is quite simply one of teh most beautiful we've ever stayed in.

I have stayed here twice and both times have been a pleasure. Shops across the street offer good shopping and food if hotel food is not your choice. Rooms are modern and clean and prices are very reasonable.
