HOTEL AUX BOUGAINVILLÉES, AMBALAVAO
Simple
Hotel aux Bougainvillieés is in the heart of
Ambalavao, and is easily spotted as much of the
hotel is painted in a striking orange colour. The
rooms are built in rows of four or five around the
grounds and of course, bougainvillea grows
everywhere.
The standard rooms are basic, with double or twin
beds, a luggage rack and a bedside table. All have
ensuite bathrooms with shower and loo. Decoration
is simple, with tiled floors, white walls and strip
lighting. There are also four bungalows, which are
slightly newer than the standard rooms, and though
decorated in the same style, feel a little cosier.
Downstairs in the bungalows is a double bedroom,
and up some steep stairs is a cosy twin bedroom.
The main lodge houses a bar- restaurant, serving a
mixture of French and Malagasy food. Dinner is
eaten here, while breakfast is often taken in the
sunny verandah.
Hotel aux Bougainvillées, Ambalavao
Our opinion: This is a simple hotel, really only one
step above a backpackers lodge, but it is currently
the best option in town.
