This family-run guesthouse is a little oasis of calm in the crazy bustle of Antananarivo, a real home-away-from-home. A great place for solo travellers and families with children. The rooms are stylish, clean and comfortable and the owners and their staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The restaurant serves very nice and reasonably priced food but closes early (8 pm) which is worth keeping in mind if out during the day and coming back in the evening. The location isn't ideal for exploring the city as it is quite a way out of town and the traffic jam into and out of town is intense... but if doing anything in the area (I was at a conference), or setting off on a tour or the airport, it is perfect. There are also many other good restaurants in the area, but after dark walking (especially alone) is not recommended - but any restaurant will happily call a taxi. I would definitely stay there again for the pleasant experience and it is exceptionally good value for the very reasonable rates.
