Hotel Aux Bougainvillées

We have spent one night here while on tour. The place was out of electricity most of the afternoon so we opted for the nearby paper and silk factories. The rooms are very basic, so is the bathroom. The restaurant was top notch though, serving tasty pizzas for good price and other items. The had decent selection of wine which was also enjoyable. There is a small store on the property as well, adjacent to the paper factory. Wi-Fi in the restaurant was very speedy, which is always a plus!

Simple double room (Toilet and shower basic)costs 170K Ar Family bungalow for 4 costs 360K Ar Superior room costs 28K Ar per night (bathroom and room is newly renovated)

Clean, comfortable rooms. The food at the restaurant is amazing, but expensive. The paper factory is nice, we bought a little post card to frame at our house. The hotel is close to a main strip of the city and the big church shown in the photos. We went straight out the front gate to a bar and had a beer and grilled zebu skewers for a snack.

The room was a bit basic, but the place was very nice for the rest. The restaurant had some fantastic dishes and the atmosphere of the hotel was very friendly. There is a paper factory in the hotel, which is also worth a visit. I would recommend staying here in Ambalavao.

Ok, so lets be clear, for a hotel in Madagascar I found this one to be very good. It's a little off the beaten track but all the better for it. Yes the rooms are a little basic but everything worked and the restaurant provided an excellent choice of meals (and even better cold beers..!)

Decent location and hotel, only stayed here for one night as part of a tour. Madagascar is known for having powercuts and we experienced one while we stayed here. I did however love the paper factory that is on site. They also have a souvenir shop that sells creative items made from paper. Our local guide took us through the entire process of how they use Avoha bark to create paper. The food was fairly good and the staff were friendly.

Hotel manager is extremely helpful and goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. The rooms are compact, basic, clean and have everything you need. Lots of hot water in the shower. The restaurant had a decent menu and food was perfectly acceptable - the pineapple flambe was particularly delicious. Very nice staff overall.

Standard Malagasy village hotel, the rooms are okay, bit pricey for what you're getting. There's a restaurant on site, which serves Malagasy classics. My issue is with the staff, who recommended us a "guide" for Anja. The guide turned out to be a scammer and not a registered guide. We got rid of him once we got to Anja. This is bad business.
