L'heure Bleue

Enjoyed one night, bed and breakfast, in transit for early morning flight to Tana. ||Very helpful reception staff. ||Comfortable, well designed room with balcony extending over the sea. Impressive attention to detail, for example balcony railings with a sitting space and table; and earplugs beside the bed. ||Lovely, plant filled gardens with ancient trees creates a green, quiet space on the edge of a busy beach.

I was at this hotel with a group. The room I stayed in was small with a king size bed. I did not have a Television or Wi-Fi. The bed was surrounded with mosquito netting which a staff member came to put in place at night. There was a safe, but no iron or ironing board was in the room.

We were very much looking forward to staying at this hotel and its sister hotel Eden Lodge in October 2025. As a result of the military coup there, the UK government advised its citizens against travelling to Madagascar. I therefore requested a refund of our deposit of 25% of the total cost of our stay. The hotel said it would give us a credit note, which is of no use to us as we cannot travel to Madagascar. While I realise the that the coup was beyond their control, I believe that the hotel should refund our deposit as we are unable to travel there through no fault of our own. Beware if you are considering booking a stay here.

Great location, close to center but far enough to be away from chaos. Great views from rooms and restaurant. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They make your bed at end of afternoon before you sleep and also put mosquito repellant sticks in the room every night. Great food!

L’Heure Bleue is in a beautiful spot, with a stunning patio over looking the bay. Two pools one overlooking the bay. The staff are excellent and service was very good. The food was first class. I had the garden budget unit, but there are lovely chalets overlooking the bay. Edith at reception, the Manager and the owner went out of their way to accommodate me due to a flight cancellation. Thanks to the hotel for looking after me

Very nice hotel at the beach. We had a great stay there, the staff was very friendly and the lodges/ bungalows are really beautiful with a great view! Very good vegetarian dishes, however the menu is rather small and doesn‘t change,so it became monotonous after a few days.

This was our second visit to Nosy Be, but our first time for L'Heure Bleue. The hotel driver was awaiting our arrival at the airport and smoothly took us to the hotel, except for the last few miles where the roads, which were more typical of the mainland, fell apart.||Check-in went smoothly for the three of us sharing a bungalow. There did seem to be a shortage of towels as it took quite awhile to receive the third set, and we never did get any towels for the pool. The bungalow was spacious, and we appreciated the view of the beach and the water from our patio.||We had chosen the modified American plan and were pleased with the menu selections and quality of the food. We ate outdoors for every meal, but one, and were quite comfortable.||Likewise the saltwater pool was refreshing after a day of hiking or snorkeling even without towels, which we had requested at the bar. ||We were visiting over the Easter weekend and had been forewarned that the partying would continue until the early morning hours. This didn't bother us because we had closed the windows to keep out mosquitos, and instead, we were quite warm. The overhead fan and the oscillating floor fan unfortunately were not enough to keep us cool. In a trade-off between noise and mosquitos or heat, we chose heat, but didn't sleep very well.

Best place to stay in Madirokely - at the quiet end of the pubic beach, and with a large elevated deck that gives amazing views of the all the activity in the bay. We had a beach bungalow (8) and while it was smallish, with no air con, the ceiling fan and freestanding fan kept us from overheating during the night. Bungalows are rustic, and you may get a gecko or 2 inside, however the grounds are beautiful, all very well cleaned and serviced, and the saltwater infinity pool plus the 2nd pool, make this an awesome place to stay. Excellent food and cocktails in the reataurant and the Manager Marika personally made us feel welcome. Highly recommended.
