Sahamalaza

Great place. Very interesting experience

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport (1.6 km away). Airport pickup was included free of charge with the booking. The hotel also offers transportation back to the airport for 20,000 Ariary (about USD 5). We stayed in the large ground-floor room inside the main house. The room was huge. There was no air conditioning, only a large fan. For two people, the room was actually more than spacious enough. The hotel owners are extremely kind and welcoming, and we really enjoyed our stay. We used the hotel mainly as a base while waiting for our final flight back to Norway.

Our room was very large, with a big sliding door and large windows. Both need to be closed before it gets dark to prevent mosquitoes from entering. My husband forgot to close them on the first day, and we ended up with a mosquito bothering us throughout our two-night stay. On the first night, we turned on the large fan, and the mosquito stopped bothering us. On the second night, there was a power outage, which made the situation much more annoying because the fan was no longer working. I tried to find the mosquito, but the room was extremely large. The Wi-Fi also stopped working on the second day because of the power outage and remained unavailable until we left at 11:00 a.m. There was no small refrigerator in the room to store water and soft drinks, but we were able to use the kitchen refrigerator, which was located next to our room. When traveling in Madagascar, be very careful never to brush your teeth with tap water or shower water. It is much safer to use bottled water, as tap water may cause stomach problems. This hotel is located away from the city center but very close to the international airport.

Me surpreendeu, tudo maravilhoso. As instalações, o atendimento, o café da manhã, a atenção com a busca e a volta ao aeroporto

Tudo está perfeito

Wonderful hosts, great location, good room size, and airport pickup included.

Not dislike, but note that both way airport transfer is not free. Only pickup is included in the price, the drop is additional, but still worth it for the convenience.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Sahamalaza. The hotel is peaceful, quiet, and conveniently located close to the airport, making it a perfect place to relax before or after a flight. The rooms are very clean, comfortable, and well organized, with great attention to detail. What truly makes this place special, however, is the couple who own and run it. They are incredibly kind, caring, and welcoming. Their warmth and genuine hospitality reminded me of the love and kindness you feel from grandparents. They make you feel less like a guest and more like part of the family. If you are looking for a comfortable stay with a personal touch and exceptional hospitality, I highly recommend Hotel Sahamalaza.

Owners Very friendly, so are the staff. Wonderful breakfast. Ideal for a last night before flying out

There's a car shop next door. Very noisy all day cutting metal.

Wir hatten ein Hotel gesucht, welches Flughafennähe hat. Dieses haben wir hier perfekt gefunden. Sehr nette Gastgeber, wir wurden freundlich am Flughafen abgeholt. Auch das Essen war gut.

Eigentlich nur, dass es keine Seife gab.

I travelled in Madagascar for 6 weeks, stayed in 10+ hotels and this was the best in every aspect.
