Guys, you’ve been super helpfull, thanks for the knowledge, support, advice and the atmosphere at your place, Ruby, thanks for your smile and energy!

The rooms can get a bit warm during the day and the dorm doesn’t have a fan or a/c. The showers although clean and well maintained lack a bit of privacy

Perfect location in Tana, you are right in the city center but still in a quiet and safe street. The staff is very welcoming and the place is quite popular among locals and the queer community.

There was the election during the period I stayed there and they didn’t say that they will be closed. So when I came back from another small island to stay there again, it was closed and I needed to find another place in the middle of the night.

Although there were people working there that didn’t speak English, they tried their best to communicate with the patrons.

Good location, friendly and helpful staff, good wifi

Super noisy (generator next the house runs for hours in the night, doors get slammed while ppl using the sanitary in the 1st floor), sanitary quite clean but sub standard. In our case their was no water coming out of the tubes for two days = you need to be prepared for that!

Great location in Tana, best staff ever - very kind, try to help you in any way possible, comfortable bed, good food :) Fazit: price-performance ratio really ok

I was happy that I was travelling alone because there is absolutely no privacy in the Single Cabin. The included bathroom is just seperated but a short room-divider. You have to be very close with your Partner ;) The water-pressure was nearly Zero and no hot water.

It's a nice Hostel. The staff is super nice and helpful. Everything was very clean and the food very good. I had one of the Single cabin with an included bathroom. This was really really nice.

Bathrooms. This could be improved-facilities, hot water.

The staff are awesome! So friendly, helpful and fun to be around. There’s a real vibe here. Even as a solo traveller, just chilling in the bar area is a lot of fun! I stayed a few times in the 5 weeks in Madagascar, using the hostel as a base so tried private rooms and dorms. Beds are comfy, safe and tidy!

Food was not great and too expensive for what it was.

Staff and accommodation were great! Food was slightly overpriced and not great, but everything else was brilliant.

Stayed in August 2023

Music parties on Friday and Saturday nights get quite loud and busy.

Excellent place to crash for a few nights and explore the city. It's not a very busy place but I did manage to find a friend to walk around town with. The staff are amazing.

The actual facilities of the hostel are just ok. Hostel average, I would say. There also always seems to be someone sawing wood directly outside the girl's dorm first thing in the morning, which was weird. So, if you don't care about atmosphere or staff, you could probably find a comparable room for cheaper somewhere else, but given the dearth of places in the whole country where you can chill and compare notes with other travelers, I'd say it's well worth it to stay here, since it's probably going to be your only chance.

This, as far as I can tell, is the only actual hostel, with associated vibe, anywhere in the whole country (although lovasoa in antsirabe is close). That said, even though it's a little pricey for Madagascar, it's probably the only place you're going to meet other solo travelers. This is particularly pertinent considering room costs and guide fees in the national parks- finding travel mates really cuts down on expenses, and this is probably the only place you're likely to meet them. Aside from that, they've got great food and live events and even a decent book exchange! Rare to find nowadays, and so much appreciated. The staff were just wonderful, as well- knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, and they all speak great English although they will let you accost them in broken French or Malagasy if you want to practice.

A young girl assistant manager,Named Hoby! She's very rude! She can shout at a customer regardless the age or mood, she's not trained and fit to work in a hospitality industry! Her picture attached beware!

Most of the employees are good

As a single traveler, it's a fabulous place to meet other single travelers and even book a tour together. The location is also really good, close to everything. The staff is amazing!

The mattress is horrible and it's a bit loud but that's something you need to consider before because it's a backpacker hostel in the center of the city ...

Nice flair in that backpacker hostel. Good prices and friendly staff.

Watch out if you book a tour through Titan Voyage or Rija and Joel! It is possible, but don't pay half the money until the tour is over. We paid during the trip and were abandoned in Andasibe the very next day. We received no help and had to find our way back to the capital on our own. It was not the hostel's fault, they had nothing to do with it. But Rija and Joel (Titan Vojage) are the ones who contact them for the tours. Our driver Titan was drunk every night and doesn't know English (although we told the tour operator that this was important to us). To get to Toliara, I recommend a coach from Cortisse (even with wifi and power sockets on the bus).

the staff was lovely and kind!
