Pros:

I get carsick very easily, so the 10–20 hour Cotisse rides were really tough for me. But I was able to get plenty of rest and regain my energy at La Lanterne. I’m grateful to Eleine and the rest of the staff for that.

Top Unterkunft in Tana
Pros:

Sehr schön nah am Zentrum + Markt. Sehr freundliches Personal, einige sprechen auch Englisch. Wir konnten auch unser Gepäck nach Check Out noch da lassen und später abholen. Die Räume sind sehr neu und schön eingerichtet. Nebenan gibt es ein nettes Restaurant das zum Hotel gehört.

Good place to stay
Pros:

I am so grateful for Eliene at the reception. She helped me buy my Cotisse ticket and booked a taxi for me so I could safely get to the Cotisse transport in the dark early morning. She was always smiling and kindly answered all of my questions.

​The room was simple but tidy and clean. There is a traditional market nearby, where I bought tomatoes and ate local food. It is a great place for travelers to stay.

The hotel is located on a hill, but it was no problem for me.

Bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'emplacement, la communication avec l'équipe, l'accueil et le rapport qualité prix. Je recommande

Cons:

Le matelas est trop ferme. Il faut une tête de lit dans la chambre 7 et changer le pommeau de douche cassé. Le chauffeur qui travaille avec l'hôtel est très insistant sur les pourboires. Il faut lui parler car ça met mal à l'aise et ça ne donne pas envie de refaire appel à lui malgré sa sympathie et sa ponctualité

Pros:

他の方も書いていますがレセプションのエリエーヌさんがとても親切でした。
事前にWhatsappのメッセージで「タクシーの運転手に見せなさい」と、自分の電話番号とホテルへの行き方を送ってくれたり、早朝のタクシー手配を手伝ってくれたりもしました。
ご本人に会うことは無かったのですが、彼女のサポート無しには初日・2日目の移動がもっと大変だったハズです。
帰国時にまた泊まりたいと思います。

Pros:

Eliene was incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. Thanks to her support, I was able to take the taxi-brousse to Morondava. The room was quiet and very comfortable, and the shower had plenty of hot water. There are a few small shops nearby where you can easily buy food and drinks, and the town center is also within walking distance. I really appreciated the warm hospitality and would happily stay here again. I can truly recommend this place to anyone visiting Tana!

Cons:

There was a brief power outage at night, but it was resolved within a few minutes. Also, there are only a few restaurants within a short walking distance.

Pros:

Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit! Es nettes Hotel mit guter Lage in Antananarivo. Gemütliche Betten und schöne Zimmer.

Cons:

Das WLAN ist oft ausgefallen und allgemein ist das Hotel schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Aber trotzdem zu empfehlen, wenn man preiswert und trotzdem nett übernachten möchte.
