Avamada Lodge

We stayed 2 nights at the end of our travel arond Madagascar. Lodge is in the residential area, 12 km from Tana (half an hour to 1 hour drive depending on traffic). |There is nothing to do around. |Rooms were clean and big enough, food was average. Menu consisted of 3 main dishes and 2 desserts and it didn’t change throughout our stay. Transfer from the airport was free only one way. Transfer back to the airport was charged.

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.

Good value option for near the airport, excellent service with pickup and early breakfast included before leading Tana. The bed was comfy but pillows a bit lumpy. Garden courtyard is nice, pool looked a bit cloudy. |Room clean but bathroom needs maintenance. Sink draining slowly.

A great little hotel that is perfect for a stop over for the airport. Nice breakfast and free airport transfer. Rooms were very clean and showers were hot with good pressure. Only a 8min drive to the airport. For the price you pay, you cannot beat it.

We were picked up at Antananarivo’s Ivato Airport by the hotel manager for the 5 minute drive to the hotel. The hotel is like a little oasis with a beautiful swimming pool. The rooms were spacious, very clean, comfortable and restful. Breakfasts were made to order and other meals were served as requested. The Avamada’s near proximity to the airport makes it a perfect place to rest before or after a big trip. I will definitely be staying there again.

We stayed here just for one night on the way in from the airport. Airport pickup was easy, and the location (near the airport) was super convenient. The room was spacious and clean with hot water, and the proprietor was very kind. It was New Years Eve and we'd just flown for 30 hours, so we were worried about noisy celebrations keep us awake, but the property was safe and quiet.

Lovely family--run place, and he's an excellent cook! Very reasonable, safe, convenient to airport, pool, quiet. We just rented day room for 1am flight, but would definitely stay again.

||➖ The water pressure could have been better, but this is a common issue in Madagascar.||➕ Great and comfortable place, especially for Antananarivo. Our hosts (Parfait) were very kind, offering us free airport transfer and late night tasty food on our arrival - we were offered custom, vegetarian food at a very resonable price. The bed for was comfortable, we had good WiFi everywhere and also hot water. ||We recommend this place for a stay between flights, as it is very close to the airport.
