Reviews of HOTEL MENABE

Clean. Good value. Comfy bed. Polite english speaking staff. Window mosquito screens. Tasty food in the restaurant with nice prices.

They gave my laundry a bit wet. No english speaking staff in the kitchen.

Good location within walking distance to the beach. Friendly staff

No hot shower at night.

Comfort, nice balcony, very friendly staff

A little noise

This was our second time staying at Hotel Menabe throughout our trip. The front desk staff welcomed us back warmly and, after a brief wait, showed us to our room. We loved having a massive balcony. An added bonus was that there was fantastic water pressure in the shower AND warm water.

Room is big and clean

Sometimes no hot water for shower

Best cost performance

Nothing

The location is convenient to the beach but my first preference is the professionalism of the staff and owner; friendly and efficient. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and any questions or requests were answered. Good sized room with a nice (?) view of the street and markets. They even offer room service. Only thing that would have been good to know is the restaurant / kitchen closes on Monday afternoon to give employees some rest. I didn't plan my dinner well that day :-)

I can't think of anything I didn't like. For the cost, it met and exceeded my expectations in some regards; no frills but good food and nice staff.

The hotel is excellent for the price-quality ratio! Really cheap with a super central location in the village. The rooms are huge, clean, with hot showers, electricity – everything you could wish for in Madagascar. The staff is really lovely, and they even welcome you with a Baobab juice (which honestly tastes better than the one sold at the Avenue of the Baobabs!). They also offer breakfast in the morning, which unfortunately we missed as we had to leave early – but the smell of fresh baked goods was amazing. No mosquitoes, mosquito nets, or coils anywhere in the hotel!! WAS PERFECT! I definitely recommend it.

I rated it 8/10 for two reasons (otherwise was even a 9): • The only room left on Booking when I reserved was a double room with a terrace, but there was no terrace, just a window. • Another downside was that all the rooms for the driver were fully booked, and our driver couldn’t stay overnight. I know this isn’t really their responsibility, but in all the other hotels we stayed at, there was at least a separate room or space for the driver. It would be nice if they could solve this, especially since there aren’t many hotels in the area considering the amount of tourism. In the end, we kindly offered our driver a room at another hotel.

I like how we were met. We were treated with baobab juice. It was really nice. First time we were impressed with the size of the room.

- how long food was served - we stayed for 4 days and our room was not cleaned. I asked to clean it and they told me they didn't provide this service - second time we came we got a smelly room with only one towel. I asked the second one and it was old and terrible.

The location was good. There was a nice balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The price was really good.

It would have been nice to offer some toiletries (shampoo/bath-soap)

We stayed at this hotel a second time because we really liked it the first time. Excellent price for a clean and specious room. Very nice staff and Baobab juice at arrival.

Clean, water supply is good

None

A really great stay! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the wifi was great, and the staff were friendly and kind. You're really close to everything you need and the beach. Plus make sure to try their ice cream which was delicious! Really great bang for your buck!

The room was nice with a big bed. Also the bathroom had a great size and the shower had cold water. The staff are welcoming and helped us when we got there. It is walking distance from the area with the restaurants. We also had a terrace but didn’t use it.

They took 50 minutes to bring us breakfast. Maybe we didn’t order beforehand, but it was just bread and an omelette. At least we were not in a hurry. Also the breakfast area was a bit tacky.

Good price and very friendly staff. Close to the beach and city center. Comfortabel beds.

Super friendly staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Large rooms, with comfy beds and very clean bathrooms. Overall a really excellent stay and great value for money.

It was a bit noisy at night but it's right in the centre of town so should be expected.

so bad 1. Never clean the room during the three days staying 2. bad wifi, not possible to connect during the evening and early morning 3. no hot shower 4. there's one female staff very rude and lied to make people pay more money 5. never listen to the staff's suggestion on transportation, as they joinly lie to the tourists and tried to playing tricks for profit which is higher than the marker price 30-40% 6.the food and drinks are selling in the hotel is 6-10 times higher than market fair price so for any international tourist, definitely avoid this place as there are so many options nearby with much better services when you arrive at the town

Excellent location, spacious, simple rooms that were super clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Good quality for money.

Wi-Fi very spotty. Quality of food could be improved. Breakfast service slow.

Very nice and helpful staff. Rooms are clean and comfortable. For us it was also located at the perfect place. In between the Main Street and beaches. Close to everything 🙂

Nothing to say

Probably the best hoteI for its price that I stayed at in Madagascar. Excellent rooms, good location and friendly helpful staff.

A little bit noisy early in the morning - is near the centre of town
