Hôtel Restaurant La Varangue

Good location for centre of town. Quirky decor and eclectic collection of all manor of things to see from old post boxes and pocket watches to vintage cars and bikes! Food was excellent and the restaurant is popular with non-guests, so make sure you book if staying here. They do their best to cater for dietary needs.  Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Rooms are spacious - mosquito nets and bug sprays are provided.

Enjoyed the antique collection in the hotel with beautiful terrace. However in the rooms we had no water on our last day and the shower dispenser was also empty. Curtains a bit dusty. Food beautifully presented. Recommended to those who want to explore the very busy town, but be aware difficult to get there during the day due to traffic jam. Be aware, staff has limited English so it hinders the service.

Really beautiful restaurant and rooms with lovely, friendly staff and ambience. Only let down by the breakfast really. Poor coffee and stale pastries but nice omelettes.

La Varangue was incredibly tranquil right in the heart of Tana. The hotel itself has amazing decor, beautiful rooms, and the sun trap garden is an incredible place to simply rest. The restaurant offers easily the best food we had during our time in Madagascar... Plus there is an excellent doggo! But what really set the hotel apart was the service. It combines luxury service both in the restaurant and hotel, with the classic Malagasy welcome and kindness. For example, our flight was extremely early (0100 arrival at Nosy Be airport for a flight landing in Tana at 0505), and so I'd messaged to ask for an early check-in if possible. La Varangue (in particular Sandra) said they'd do all they could to facilitate. When we pulled in at 0600 (having had an extremely smooth transfer from the airport) we did not even need to step foot in reception as we were greeted by a porter with our room's key and seamlessly taken to our room for some rest. They even made the room up when we went out in the afternoon... And did this all for free! Thanks to Sandra, Stan and the whole team for a wonderful stay!

We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant. The food was excellent. The ambiance, décor, and atmosphere were great as well. The service was fantastic. Very high quality of food. The best place in Madagascar’s capital. Additionally, it is very clean

This is my second stay at La Varangue and I love it. With a vintage vibe and cool jazz or piano music (often live) in the lobby and restaurant, the aesthetic is tasteful, funky and boutique. The service is wonderful, the staff are lovely, and the restaurant is delightful. I usually sit in the pavilion for breakfast and dinner, and the French fare is delicious. The sommelier pairs the food beautifully with the wine. Breakfasts are continental, including pastries, good coffee, tropical fruits and eggs to order. I’m currently staying in a large suite with a large teak armoire, a sitting room and a private balcony (room 03). Staff have helped me with laundry service, arranging rides and extending my booking. I highly recommend this charming hotel.

We stayed here in our last night in madagascar, and it was great. |The staff was nice and helpfull, the food was delicious, the rooms were comfortable and clean and the vibe with all of the vintage stuff and the jazz music in the background was fun.|The bathroom was very clean, and it was cool that it had both a bath and a standing shower. The toilet and the shower were in separate rooms which was also nice.|My only complaint is that we booked a room with two beds, and when we got there the room only had one, but it ended up being fine.

The place is very beautiful, they don't just host people, They do offers the best service! The only concern is about their location.
