We stayed one night in this hotel and for this part of the world we believe it is one of the best hotels in town. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was very good and tasty. The waitress of the restaurant was attentive and funny. And of course the large room with all this antique furniture made our... More

I can't say enough about this hotel. Its not the most affordable option in Tana, but If you want a top end hotel with 3rd world / french charm this is the spot. The restaurant was amazing and Euros, Pounds and US dollars will go far there. The English here is limited, which can make the restaurant experience trying, but... More

The hotel is located in the "embassy" area of the city. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The hotel is furnished in a unique way that gives great character. The staff is very helpful and courteous. The best part of the stay is their restaurant which is known to be one of the best in the city. An excellent... More

We stayed at La Varangue for only one night at the end of our tour—and we loved it. Our suite was enormous and well-appointed. The restaurant is excellent. Unfortunately we couldn't keep our room for a second night and ended up at the Carlton just up the street. The Carlton, while nice, is large and commercial compared to the homey... More

Althought it seems beloved by reviewers, I don't really understand the raves. The complex is tucked into a hillside below the Presidential Palace in Tana, and consists of a number of small, adjacent buildings with rooms that vary significantly. I stayed there twice in October 2011. The first room was in the "main" building above the restaurant. The carpeting was... More

Great little hotel / inn in 'Tana. Returned to it on business after a gap of several years, and it was great to see all the improvements to the hotel. Great, friendly staff, really high level of service, and very well maintained. It really did feel like a "home away from home". It is exceptionally well run, with staff out... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of a trip, in one of the newer rooms. This was good - clean and quiet, though a little soul-less - the older rooms are perhaps nicer? Windows in the bathroom that didn't close made it a little cold. Great to have wi-fi and a free to use computer. The hotel is... More

We stayed here twice on our tour of Madagascar. The first night we stayed in a room in the old part of the hotel and the second night was in the newer part. We much preferred the the older roomk - the newer room, whilst more modern and very comfortable was a bit 'corporate' for our taste, though some people... More

My husband and I stayed at La Varangue for three nights in total. One night when we arrived in Tana and then two nights after doing some touring around the island. Both times we stayed in a suite and they were both lovely. The second one was enormous and very comfortable. The hotel itself is very welcoming and the staff... More
