Find the Cheap Talatamaty Hotels

A hotel we used for transit near Airport. San Cristobal Hotel turned out to be a pleasant surprise after a long flight ordeal. It’s a boutique hotel with a pool and nice clean rooms at just a few minutes from Airport. Considering we were to take a flight next day at 6:30 AM, it was perfect. Dinner gave us the first glimpse of how meals are in whole of Madagascar i.e. Typically a fixed menu meal with limited choice (One Starter or Soup, One Mains and One Dessert). Portion size are big. Starter, Soup, Salad and Mains have a vegetarian version too. Fish served in the Mains was good and so was dessert.

10 min from the airport you enter an oasis of calm. Friendly welcome, early check in available, room simple but clean, nice gardens, pool and good food in the restaurant. Everybody is really friendly! Great place to stay for a few days, better than Antanarivo city centre!

Establishment without supervision. The boss or manager?? Invisible. The day of arrival, impeccable dinner. The next day disaster. A ginger steak without ginger and unspeakable, acceptable flambés. But two hours for that. There were only 7 people in the restaurant. The reason given: The chef was not there. And above all, the hotel is located in a HIGH RISK place in the evening, access by 4x4 otherwise you do not arrive. Almost a kilometer of road. I canceled the reservations planned for the following days. Serge MARTIN

Close to the airport, but quiet at night. Our upstairs bedroom was clean, cosy and nicely decorated, with attractive floral hangings. The bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water in the shower, the zebu we ate for dinner was the tenderest we had in Madagascar. The staff were charming. Breakfast is very basic, but adequate. Price/quality is excellent and the WiFi worked well.

We were accommodated here for one night by the airport as our plane was delayed. The lobby is huge and spacious and you can immediately feel that you are in China here. The reception is very pleasant, nothing to say. We were installed in our room, which was, I must admit, extremely clean, with a well-equipped luxury bathroom! Too bad the view on the road is atrocious. We then went down to lunch (meals paid for by the airport) and it was frankly disgusting! Our menu was imposed and we had the impression that they had prepared the fridge funds for us... So much so that in the evening we preferred to go out to eat elsewhere even if we could have stayed at the hotel and eat free. The breakfast is also unworthy! It's not restocked so when we came down around 8:30 there were only a few bits of watermelon, broth, bread and a bit of cheese left. Very limited for a hotel of this standard, especially since the other hotel guests were entitled to the same buffet. We asked if they were going to refill and clearly that bothered the waitress. In short, for a service that we got for free, it's still fine, but it's clear that I won't pay to return to this hotel.

The hotel is very close to the domestic airport, only a few hundred meters away, 5 minutes walk, and free shuttle bus, very convenient. On the day of check-out, the hotel shuttle sent us to the airport. After the security check, when we waited in the airport terminal, we found that the mobile phone could not be on the network, and we could not find the signal of the wifi generator I brought out of the country. This was found that the wifi generator may have been forgotten in the hotel. I was sweating so quickly, what should I do? Traveling abroad, relying on that generator to provide traffic to our mobile phones and computers. I told the security check that I had to go out to find something. I hurried from the airport to the hotel, and it took a few minutes to walk back to the hotel. The hotel receptionist saw me as soon as I entered the door, and immediately handed me a white T-shirt and white wifi generator! I am moved and happy, and I feel emotion! I remembered that the mobile phone that was forgotten in the gem stall when I visited the gem market yesterday was also sent back to my hand by the owner! The people here are really honest! Although the country is very poor, but the people's simple and honest character, gave me a deep memory!

I have been using this hotel for 3 years, it is practically in front of the international airport, so you can safely go on foot, just exit the parking lot, or if you prefer you can be accompanied. maybe if you have rather heavy bags use the service provided by the hotel. Simple and cheap to spend a night or two before boarding. The management is familiar, the owner speaks many languages, Italian Spanish Portuguese French Malagasy English. If you want you can organize trips and transfers to the main attractions in the capital or simply to the craft markets. Electricity and hot water 24H
