est a savoir si quelqun connai un hotel pas très cher a tananarive. je vous remercie d'avance.
Salut,
à tana il y à le Isoraka hôtel pas trop cher (environ 9 euros la nuit si je me souviens). il est en plein centre, sur les collines c parfait!
mail de l'hotel: saka@malgasy.com
si tu as d'autre questions n'hésite pas.
bon préparatif...
Hôtel pas cher pour vous c'est à partir de combien Ariary ou euro ?
Sinon le moins cher des moins chers c'est : Hôtel Parine un peu rudimentaire, fréquenté surtout par les Malgaches et les africains de passage, la sécurité est bonne, pas de pb, quartier Tsaralalàna (Ville basse), à droite de la caserne des pompiers et à 2 rues de l'AV de l'indépendance, douches et toilettes à l'extérieur avec eau chaude, dans les 10.000 à 15.000 Ar ; le fils du patron fait des changes si cela vous intéresse.
Bien sûr Hôtel Lambert et restaurant, c'est mon hôtel préfèré, quartier Ambondrona, vers le haut de l'escalier en partant du marché d'Analakely, lieu de RDV des routards, superbe ambiance quand vous tombez sur des voyageurs avec l'ouverture d'esprit et contact facile ! Chambres au sous sol dans les 15.000 Ar mais vaut mieux prendre des chambres au rdc ou à l'étage à partir de 20.000 Ar, 22.000 Arau 1er.... avec douche chaude et pissoire à l'intérieure, wc à l'extérieur. Tous les dimanches après-midi, Jérôme et sa femmme vous offre à boire à tous les clients ! D'ailleurs le couple va avoir bientôt un nouveau dans la famille et leur souhaite que du bonheur !
hotellambert@yahoo.fr ; tél (020)22 229 92 ; 00261 20 22 229 92 ; gsm 032 52 546 54. Un peu de pub pour leurs gentillesses (Gérant(e) et personnels)
Les hôtels cités plus haut... pas loin de Lambert...
Chez Francis : 32.000 Ar douce avec eau chaude à l'intérieur, wc à l'extérieur ; superbe vue à partir du balcon ou la terrasse.
Hôtel Moonlight : Il y a une seule chambre la moins chère est à 17.000 AR mais vraiment petite sinon chambre à partir de 23.000 Ar... (je n'ai pas encore d'occasion de dormir ici donc à vérifier)
Ville haute, cité plus haut : Hôtel Raphia, chambre la moins chère 38.000 Ar, bruyant, douche et wc à l'extérieur, ça vaut pas le coup même avec une jolie vue à partir du balcon...
Hôtel Isoraka (annexe de Sakamanga) :La moins chère 23.000 Ar, si ma mémoire est bonne, petite mais bien décorée, douche et wc à l'extérieure.
Attention toujours complet donc il faut réserver à l'avance ! voilà j'espère d'autres forumistes vont compéter ou rectifier mes propos et bon voyage dans ce beau pays.
merci pour vos réponses je voulais savoir égalemen le prix moyen d'un billet entre janvier et mars svp ou voir la période la moin cher merci d'avance
Bonsoir!!!!!!!!🙂
Juste une chose mais je pense que tu le sais c'est aussi la pleine période des cyclones et des dépressions tropicales, on ne sait jamais des fois que!!😇
Sinon oui c'est une période pas chere pour la billeterie!!!!!!!!😉
Zainab, attention à ne pas te retrouver dans des hôtels pas chers mais qui sont en fait ni plus ni moins que des hôtels de passe ! Je pense en particulier au Raphia ou au Zazou. Par contre, je te conseille vivement "Le jardin d'Antanimena" qui est très bien situé et qui est tenu par un français, Jacques Cas, très sympa.(20 22 663 91 de Mada et tu fais +261 si tu appelles de France. Portable 0320792275 de Mada; de France +261320792275.) Même si tu me connais pas, dis-lui que c'est M. Jérôme qui t'a indiqué son adresse, tu seras encore mieux reçue.
Je te conseille l'Hotel le Glacier, sympa, avec terrasse discothéque top le soir et pas cher du tout. En plus plein centre et près de toutes animations.

De plus j'aurai aimer savoir si en janvier février les tarifs son intérréssan o niveau des billets d'avion ou si o contraire c'es pa la meilleur période .
Je vous remerci d'avance
Pour avoir un billet pas trop cher il faut éviter les périodes rouges cad les vacances scolaires !
Ce qui est sûr le billet pour Mada sera moins cher en janvier, février qu'en été (dans les 870 euros TTC). Dès fois les compagnies aériennes font des promos donc à surveiller régulièrement sur l'internet... En ce moment même, allez sur le site airmadagascar.com vous propose des promos... et pour plus de précisions vous devez leur téléphoner pour vous déplacer.
Ce n'est pas la bonne période pour y aller car c'est la saison des pluies et cycloniques mais peut-être il n'y en aura pas et même s'il y en a, ce n'est pas partout et en seul coup non plus ! On peut en savoir plusieurs jours à l'avance par le service météorologie...
Je vous rappelle la meileure période pour y aller c'est septembre, octobre pas de pluie et vous pouvez aller n'importe où, peut-être j'y serai.
Pour les tarifs, il ferait mieux que tu regardes dans les sites des agences comme Corsair, Air France et Air Madagascar.
Je ne sais pas si le tarif sera abordable en Janvier Février mais une amie est venue en mars l'année dernière avec un billet de 700 euros sur Air France.
Janvier, février sont les mois du cyclone à Madagascar alors il faut faire attention.
ha merci, ok la péridode des cyclone pas tro top mai bn jv regardé lé tarifs du moin g commenC a regardé é ct super cher é je penC ke la période de janvier étai la moin cher cher du moin plus abordable mai je me sui trompé. merci
Je teconseille l'hotel Lambert, si possible demande la chambre 21 avec douche (eau chaude et W.C au 2iem etage je crois, elle était au moizs de juin 2008 à 10 euros. cet hotel est pour moi super car tu domines la ville, et tu as une trés vaste escalier remplis de petits commerces qui t'amènne à Analakelly le centre ville de Tana l'équivalent des champs Elysées en 7 à 8 mns à pieds.Attention toutefois la nuit... hotellambert@yahoo.fr - Tel (020)22 229 92 - 00261 20 22 229 92. C'est un endroit très Convivial. Il ya aussi Chez FRANCIS c'est un Vahaza trés synpa, mais avec un caractère trés délicat. Il ne faut surtout jamais faire référence à l'ile de la Réunion, si on veut y séjourner .
Hotel Niaouly - Antananarivo - Bon marché et sympa
Nous sommes allés plusieurs fois à Tana (point de chute pour escale) et avons fait différents hôtel et lorsque nous avons découvert cet hotel nous y sommes retournés sans hésitation! C'est un Hotel modeste et très propre avec une déco très sympa fait avec goût.
Nous avons adoré l'ambiance, le cadre, les employés (Andrianina, "Nicolas", Eddie, Brigitte...), les employeurs (Laurent et Zo), l'excellente cuisine très joliment présentée et faite par Zo elle-même... Bref du pur bonheur! On le conseille vivement.
Laurent conseille très bien sur ce que l'on peut voir sur Tana et nous présente à des personnes professionnels fort sympathique!
On a beaucoup rit aussi ce qui n'est pas négligeable....Bref un petit coin bien chaleureux!
Situé en plein centre ville de la capital l'hôtel est situé a 3 minutes de la poste centrale et du quartiers des bijoutiers dans le quartier d'Ambatovinaky, sur la route qui mène au palais de la Reine. Analakely est à 4 minutes à pieds.Le prix des chambres oscille entre 8 et 12€ la nuit.

Pourquoi il ne faut jamais faire référence à l'ile de la Réunion si on veut y séjourner ? Je suis Réunionnais et je me pose Bien la Question - Quel Problème ce Monsieur qualifier de très sympa à t'il donc avec la Réunion ?? 😠
Merci pour votre avis Baucusse. Je ne sais pas ce que vous appelez défilé de p....Mais j'ai des amis qui ont l'habitude d'y loger et ça va d'après eux. Si son logement vous dérange, la cuisine est quand même bonne. N'est-ce pas? Au Glacier il y a beaucoup de défilé de p...
Bonne journée!
Hi,
My trip to the Algarve, which was postponed, is now taking shape.
On October 13th, I’m leaving for 2 weeks. When I arrive, I’ll be staying in Lisbon for 3 nights. So, I’d love to find somewhere affordable and well-located to stay—any suggestions would be great!
After that, I’ll head to Faro, where I plan to rent a car. Would it be best to rent directly from the airport? I can’t seem to find any agencies in Faro city where I could pick up the car and drop it off at the airport at the end of my stay. Is it possible to return a car at 6 AM at the airport?
Can I get the Portuguese motorway pass in France?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hello,
Does anyone know a good local French-speaking agency for a discovery/trekking trip in Maharashtra? For about 3 weeks, a custom trip, but not too expensive!
Thanks in advance,
Laura
Hello Voyage Forum members.
For my wife’s birthday and her 64th year, I’d love to plan a two-week road trip with her—using our own car—preferably avoiding overly touristy spots, so off the beaten path where possible. That said, we wouldn’t mind stopping at must-see places along the way. The trip would cover Emilia-Romagna and/or Tuscany if combining both regions is doable in that timeframe, with the option for some hikes during the period. We’re looking at late November 2026. I’d prioritize the most authentic accommodations, ideally with breakfast included, without exceeding 100 € per night if that’s possible. So, stays like private rooms in hostels or homestays would be perfect.
Based on these details, I’d really appreciate any recent tips or insights from Voyage Forum members to help me plan this surprise anniversary trip.
Hi,
I’m looking for recent opinions on where to stay: Ella or Haputale.
Doesn’t Haputale also have the added advantage of the train?
Thanks for your input!
Hi there, we’re planning a road trip in northern Algeria at the end of January – early February.
Anyone have any tips for a car rental agency that’s both reliable and not too expensive? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I’d like to travel from Lille in the North of France to Italy safely and on a budget.
Preferably by bus.
If you have other ideas, I’m all ears!
I’m interested in any suggestions.
How can I get to Italy?
Which city is the cheapest?
The most visited?
Is it safe, please?
Thanks for your replies.
Best regards,
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to spend 8 days or more in Georgia, and I love multi-day hikes at a moderate level.
Any tips?
Is it easy to exchange money in Tbilisi?
Is Kutaisi worth a visit?
I’ve heard the Black Sea is meh.
And apparently, the food and drink are amazing everywhere in Georgia.
So, is it worth checking out a wine region?
Thanks a lot!
Good evening,
As two senior French couples who are used to traveling independently all over the world, we’d like to visit Kenya next November.
Now, after seeing and reading a bit everywhere, and with the first quotes for a 6/7-day safari, I’m shocked by the prices (like $2,250) for places like Maasai Mara, where entry alone costs $200 per person per day, plus fees for the driver and vehicle.
So if you have any recent great tips or contacts to share to help me out, I’d really appreciate it—because despite the costs, we’d still love to go, while keeping things reasonable.
The most plausible solution is probably renting a vehicle with a driver-guide.
Thanks in advance for all your replies.

After more than ten solo trips to India, I’ve decided to explore a new country: South Korea.
In October, I’ll be flying Lyon-Delhi, then in November Delhi-Seoul. I’ll be staying in this new (for me) country for over a month.
My main motivation when traveling is discovering a country through the people (locals) I meet. In India, I made friends through Couchsurfing that way.
I’m currently getting in touch with host families (via Servas), but if you have any ideas for authentic and budget-friendly accommodations, I’d love to hear them.
I’ll plan my route based on my hosts, and I’m also thinking of spending a few days in Seoul and Jeju.
Hi there,
I’m heading to the Greek island of Ikaria for two months and I’m looking for any tips or advice—especially on budget-friendly accommodation options like a room to rent or staying with locals. Thanks!
Hi everyone, I'm traveling solo in Spain for 8 days without a car, on a tight budget. What train/bus route do you recommend between cities, and where can I find the best prices? Looking forward to your tips! Thanks
Hello! 👋
I’m new to this site and feeling a little desperate. 😢 My boyfriend’s birthday is in 4 days, and I wanted to surprise him with a New Year’s trip to London... except I just found out he’s already been there as a kid. Well, there goes my surprise! 😅
Since we both love Christmas and winter, I’m looking for a destination where we can really feel the holiday magic—with a budget of around 500 € for transport + accommodation for two (yes, I know, I might be asking for a Christmas miracle here 😇).
We’ve already been to Bucharest, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest, so I’d love to find something a little more offbeat, not too expensive, and with a beautiful Christmas atmosphere.
Please help me! 🙏 On social media, it’s always the same ultra-touristy cities... I’m sure there are hidden gems I haven’t discovered yet!
Three years after exploring northern Argentina and Chile, my two travel buddies and I want to discover the southern part of these two countries.
We’re traveling on a budget, backpacker-style, favoring public transport and modest accommodations, but we don’t hesitate to splurge a little when it’s worth it.
The classic spots that have been fueling our dreams: Bariloche, the lakes, Chiloé, El Chaltén, Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno, El Calafate, Fitz Roy, Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego, and wrapping up in Valparaíso.
We’ll take a round-trip flight to Santiago, then I’m thinking of a one-way flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas. From there, we’ll explore and do several day hikes in the south, including Ushuaia and, if possible, Tierra del Fuego.
Then we’ll head back north by bus to Bariloche and the lakes, followed by Chiloé, then a bus to Santiago and Valparaíso.
Based on your experience, could you help me figure out the best way to structure this trip and maybe suggest some ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Didier
I’m heading to Quebec and New Brunswick this summer and got a Revolut Classic card for the trip. I’ve already exchanged some Canadian dollars in the app so I’ll have a reserve ready for my departure day. My question is whether I’ll incur any additional fees when using my Canadian dollar account. I think I’m limited to 200 € in ATM withdrawals for my part. Thanks!
Hi there,
I'm heading to Morocco for 10 days as a backpacker, with my car and a tent canvas if needed. Does anyone have great experiences in this country around the Tétouan and Tangier areas?
I'd love to spend time with locals, rent a small room, and take part in daily life.
If you've got any addresses to share, that'd be awesome!
Thanks a million for your replies!!!😉
Christine
My boyfriend and I are going there for just 9 days, including the two travel days… It’s not much, but oh well!
Looking at prices online, I get the impression everything’s more expensive than I thought 😅 So, I wanted to get your feedback on a few things:
* Is hitchhiking common, easy, and generally safe in Albania?
* Is it possible to find day-to-day accommodations without booking ahead? If so, are they usually cheaper than the ones you find online?
* Is wild camping allowed or at least tolerated?
If any of you have traveled there recently, I’d love all the tips and great deals you’ve got!
Hi,
We’re a young couple planning to travel to South Africa after spending about three weeks in Namibia. We’ll arrive in Cape Town around mid-December, with no fixed travel duration (though our budget will eventually set a limit).
After browsing through the forum, we’ve realized the country is packed with incredible spots, which makes choosing an itinerary tough. We’re looking for stunning landscapes, hikes, and so on. So, we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
When we arrive in Cape Town, we’d like to settle in and take it easy until New Year’s, exploring at a relaxed pace. We know this period coincides with South African holidays—does that make finding accommodations (availability/prices) more difficult? Do you think it’s possible to stay in a nice place for about 15 days without aiming for the most upscale neighborhoods? Maybe somewhere a bit outside Cape Town, like Fish Hoek, and just visit the city occasionally.
After that, we’ll have plenty of time (about 2 to 2.5 months) to explore the country. We’d like to take our time. In your opinion, is it better to focus on the Cape Town region, or is it reasonable to consider more distant areas like the Drakensberg or Blyde River Canyon? Can everything be done by car if we take our time, or are domestic flights sometimes more practical?
Budget-wise, how much do car rentals cost? For accommodations, we usually look at Airbnb—are they affordable in South Africa? What’s the average nightly rate outside the biggest cities? Are there other platforms you’d recommend for saving on lodging?
Finally, regarding safety, are there any regions to avoid besides Johannesburg?
We know this is a lot of questions, but we’re still in the early planning stages!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Hi there,
After exploring southern Peru in 2024 with your help, we’d love to head north next. There’ll be 5 or 6 of us:
1. Arrive in Lima in the evening.
2. Visit Lima and take a flight at 6:35 PM to Tarapoto.
3, 4, 5. Spend a few days there to trek in a reserve (Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve) or somewhere else.
6. From Tarapoto to Chachapoyas—either by overnight bus, daytime bus, or private car.
7. In Chachapoyas: Gocta Waterfall, Sonche Canyon, and walk back to town.
8. Head to Kuelap citadel, Revash, and arrive in Leymebamba.
9. Leymebamba museum, then route to Cajamarca.
10. Cajamarca hot springs, overnight bus to Trujillo or Chiclayo—or do both.
11, 12, 13. Visit and explore the area.
14. Overnight bus back to Lima.
15. Lima.
16. Depart at 8 PM for France.
What do you think of this itinerary? Looking forward to your advice.
Thanks
I’m planning a 7-day trip to Marrakech for a sports camp, and I’ll be traveling with just a standard carry-on backpack.
I’d love to hear your best tips and tricks:
• What clothes are absolutely essential?
• Any advice for managing the heat while traveling light?
• Which accessories have been the most useful for you?
• Mistakes to avoid on a first trip to Marrakech?
I’m also open to your recommendations for neighborhoods, restaurants, or activities not to miss during my free time.
Thanks in advance for your advice and experience! !
Hi there, we’re heading to the Cyclades from June 23 to July 9. We’ll arrive in Santorini and leave from Mykonos. We’re thinking of visiting these islands: Folegandros, Milos, Sifnos, Tinos, and Mykonos. Do you think it’s better to book the ferries now (which site do you recommend for booking?) or can we buy the tickets on the spot? Also, do you have any suggestions for accommodation under 100 €/night on each of these islands? Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone!
I’m planning my dream trip for next September, lasting about a month. Here’s my itinerary:
Amsterdam: 3 days (departing from Montreal)
Tanzania: 3-day safari
Zanzibar: 6 days
Istanbul: 7 days
Return to Montreal.
Since my budget is pretty tight, I’m looking for tips and advice to cut costs without sacrificing the experience. Here are my questions:
Multi-destination flights: What’s the best way to book these connections? Is it better to buy a one-way ticket from Montreal to Amsterdam, then a separate internal flight, or use comparison tools for a multi-destination ticket?
Budget safari: Do you have recommendations for local agencies or tips to do a 3-day safari (Serengeti/Ngorongoro) at an affordable price (e.g., camping/glamping instead of luxury lodges)?
Accommodation in Zanzibar: Which villages or types of lodging are the most budget-friendly and accessible via local transport for these 6 days?
Istanbul: Any tips for well-located but cheap accommodation and great food deals?
Hi,
Are there still basic, traditional, and affordable authentic accommodations in Poland? I’ll be traveling in July with my husband and our 2 kids along the Warsaw-Łódź-Toruń-Gdańsk route, and all I can find online are standardized Ikea-style apartments in the cities. When I look for agrotourism, it’s all luxury farms.
Can you find farms in the countryside or city lodgings for under 60 euros per night? And if so, how?
Is it possible to find accommodations on the spot without internet—like from people who put up signs—even in July?
Hi,
I need to stay in Paris or Créteil for 2 nights a week for a month. I know some cheap backpacker options, but I’d like something even cheaper. Do you know of any rooms for rent from private individuals?
Thanks
We’re a young couple planning our first trip to Albania from June 23, 2026, to July 2, 2026. We have a pretty tight budget and want to make the most of this amazing country without breaking the bank.
We’re looking for all the advice you can give to help us plan our stay:
* What are the must-see places to visit?
* Which cities or villages are really worth the detour?
* What natural sites, hikes, canyons, springs, or viewpoints do you recommend?
* Do you know of any free, uncrowded, or particularly beautiful beaches?
* Where can we responsibly observe or swim with sea turtles?
* What are the most beautiful beaches on the Albanian Riviera that are accessible on a small budget?
* What budget-friendly accommodations (hotels, hostels, homestays, campgrounds) do you recommend?
* What are the best ways to get around between different regions at a low cost?
* Do you know of any reliable and affordable agencies for renting a vehicle (car, scooter, or motorcycle)? What are the average rates at the end of June, and which rental companies do you recommend or advise against?
* Is it better to rent a vehicle right when we arrive or stick to local buses and minibuses to keep costs down?
* Which restaurants or local specialties offer the best value for money?
* Are there any free or low-cost activities we shouldn’t miss?
* Which places do you think are overrated or can be skipped when you’re short on time and money?
* What practical tips would you have wished you knew before your first trip to Albania?
We’d also love any 10-day itineraries that you particularly enjoyed, along with your budget estimates for accommodation, meals, and transportation.
We’re open to off-the-beaten-path spots and local tips. If you have any secret addresses, hidden beaches, favorite accommodations, or mistakes to avoid, we’d love to hear about them! 😊
I traveled through southern Peru in November 2024 and now I’d like to explore the north.
We’re a group of 5 people for a 15-day trip.
Iquitos or Nauta for the Amazon rainforest—I saw that you have to fly there.
Chiclayo
Chachapoyas
Kuelap
Leimebamba
Cajamarca
Trujillo
And if we have time, Huaraz for the Andes cordillera.
No problem taking overnight buses—they save a lot of time.
Or renting a car and figuring it out as we go.
We’d also love to take the train from Lima to Huancayo, but it seems complicated—I don’t understand when it runs.
I’d like to drive to Morocco from Paris via Spain. I was really surprised to see the ferry crossing prices—around 500 €—but especially the crossing time (about 1 hour). Normally, I pay 3000 € to go to Tunisia from Genoa, but that’s for a 24-hour crossing.
My question: is it cheaper to buy the ticket on the spot, as some Moroccans have advised me? Though I’ve also heard the opposite.
What do you think, considering I need to get to Tétouan around July 17th and return from Tangier around August 4th?
Thanks in advance
I’m planning a 10-day trip to Slovenia in May (9–19 May) and starting to look at accommodations. Unfortunately, I’m only seeing relatively expensive options—nothing under 50 €, and usually around 100–150 €. Traveling solo, that could quickly blow my budget. And 30 € for a bed in a 10-person dorm at a youth hostel feels like a rip-off...
Are there other booking sources besides the usual Booking.com, Airbnb, and Google? Or can anyone confirm if I’ll find more reasonable rates on the ground around Bled, Bohinj, Triglav, or in mountain huts? I’ll be renting a car to optimize my travel, so I won’t be limited geographically.
Hi there,
Could you recommend some nice and affordable neighborhoods to book a hotel in for visiting Nice and exploring its surroundings and nearby villages?
I’d like to know if it’s better to book the entire stay in Nice and take day trips to the villages, or if there are villages worth spending at least one night in to really explore them properly?
Since all the villages are stunning and we have to make a choice, which ones are absolutely must-visit?
My 16-year-old daughter and I will be spending a week there at the end of April. We’ll arrive by TGV from Paris and plan to use public transport during our stay. Do you know if there’s a weekly transport pass available and how much it costs?
