We spent several nights at Varangue Hotel and we thought it was excellant. The rooms were very clean and modern, the staff helpful and friendly, and the restaurant outstanding. As a matter of fact, one of our dinners there would be among the best we have had in any country. Strong recommend it.

This place is full of character as soon as you walk in. Loads of antiques everywhere and a nice colonial feel. Restaurant is excellent. Stayed in various rooms. The suite is amazing for the sheer amount of space, the only downside being there's no mosquito net for some reason!? Other rooms have them and you need them.

This is an amazing little hotel in the centre of Antananarivo. Friendly and welcoming with a great menu and chef in their quaint restaurant. The owner is clearly a collector, for around the hotel are displays of binoculars, cameras, lamps, telephones from another era, largely brass and hanging from the walls. Rooms are clean and appropriately decorated, in fact on... More

What a fantastic stay. A room with a view, a comfortable bed, and the best risotto in town. I slept like a baby and when I woke up I walked down just a small flight of stairs to the best dining experience in Antananarivo. Sit inside or outside, or order to your room for a private dinner, I tried them... More

We spent a night in Tana. The hotel is ideally situated, with clean, spacious rooms......and CRISP, new towels. We enjoyed a superb dinner at the restaurant. The food was tasty, perfectly prepared, well presented and thoroughly enjoyed. The owner also went around to all the tables to inquire whether diners had enjoyed their meals - a nice touch. All in...

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
