MAISON CARREE

Our stay at Maison Carree in Andilana, Nosy Be, was fantastic and truly great value for money! The location is ideal, with easy access to stunning sites like Lokobe Reserve and Mount Passot. The spacious, comfortable rooms with private bathrooms and thoughtful amenities made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the live international music performances, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The hotel hosts these music nights with songs in multiple languages like French, English, Spanish, Malagasy, and Italian. So there’s something for everyone. Guests can even get up and dance, adding to the lively, fun experience that makes the evenings extra special. The restaurant was also amazing, serving a delicious variety of foods at reasonable prices. We especially enjoyed the pizzas and hamburgers with crispy frites, along with options like fresh fish and tender meats. The daily breakfast was a great start to our mornings. The owner, Eric, is an incredible host who speaks fluent French and English, making it easy for guests from various backgrounds to communicate. He is always willing to help and offer advice on the best places to visit. He even assisted with our car rental, adding extra convenience to our stay. The hotel’s generator ensures essential amenities like Wi-Fi, lights, and fans stay on during power outages. Maison Carree offers a wonderful mix of comfort, service, and value, with the bonus of vibrant, multilingual live music and delicious food options. Highly recommended for an affordable yet unforgettable stay in Nosy Be!

One minor downside during our stay was the presence of mosquitoes, especially in the evenings. Mosquitoes are everywhere on the island, so it’s something travelers should be prepared for. The hotel provides nets and repellents to help, but given the tropical setting, it’s unavoidable. It’s a small thing to keep in mind, though it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
