Victoria Hotel

Fianarantsoa

We stayed 2 nights at Victoria Beach and we were satisfied. The room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant is good and cheap although the dishes are a bit salty (common to several restaurants in Madagascar). The swimming pool in the evening is lavish with lighting. However, during the day, the pool liner is a bit green. A little more for breakfast served early on the day we left.

It is acceptable.

This was a day stop for us as part of a cruise itinerary. We just wanted a quiet day in a nice hotel on a good beach. We got a couple of Tuk Tuks from the port and although they said they knew the hotel after about 10 minutes, it was obvious that they didn’t. 
English is not widely spoken so the language barrier can be a problem. We’d been warned on the cruise that crime rate is high and to be extra vigilant so as we drove down unmade roads in the middle of nowhere I was starting to get worried but it was fine. 
We arrived at the hotel (which cost hardly anything as a day guest) - and it wasn’t actually on the beach. There were no sun loungers but they had tables and chairs around the pool. 
We ordered soft drinks and they were barely chilled. 
The pool was a good temperature but was a bit murky so we didn’t spend too long in there. The beach was a few minutes walk away but it was dirty and the sea was too rough to paddle or swim. 
We got a couple of bottles of water but these were for the very sad lemur who was in a small metal cage, in full sun without any bedding, food or water. He craves attention and cling to the bars to be stroked - he drank a full bottle of water and  took a couple of bananas, it was heartbreaking and so we left. 
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel - however I didn’t see any others that looked more appealing. 

Day Visit

Pros:
-Really nice, helpful and friendly staff, always smiling and ready to help.
-WIFI was good. 
-AC was working superbly.
-Pool was nice and clean, and the lighting effects at night made it beautiful too.
-Room was great, spacious and clean.
-Shower was nice.

Cons:
-No dustbin in room, instead one small dustbin in bathroom.
-Few sockets in room
-Slow service for lunch and dinner, but the food was always fresh.
-No sea view from our room. It was blocked by all tress(please do not cut off the trees, instead change this 'sea view' description in the room description and tell people the reality).
-Pool was being used by guests from outside the hotel on payment basis, so it got too crowded at times.
-Beach is not a beach! The water was dirty and waves were very strong. For beach experience, we went to Foulpoint for a daytrip. Beach, although crowded, was much better in Foulpoint.
-They charge for extra coffee/tea sachets, these should have been complimentary.
-Breakfast was not buffet. They serve as you come. It was okay.
-Caged lemur!! I wanted to give the property 4/5, but I am giving 3/5 because of the the caged lemur.

Overall nice place to stay, but they need to release the lemur in it's original habitat; forest!

The hotel is very well located for traquility , calm and nice beach view. They got a very good swimming pool.I spent 3 nights at this hotel and would recommend to everybody as price is very reasonable for such a lovely hotel.

Best in Tamatave

We stayed here as part of a cycling trip and it was a nice change from some basic hotels elsewhere. Nice bathroom albeit if sharing with someone you don’t know be aware that the bathroom wall is made of glass and while there are blinds they don’t fully cover the glass. Aircon was good and free water in the rooms. Pool looked a bit murky and the poolside toilets had a missing roof (no real sign of it being repaired but maybe that is due soon). Big function room so perhaps used as a wedding location - bar area struggled with enough change but otherwise helpful staff. Wi-fi worked throughout the hotel. Huge downside was seeing a lonely lemur in a very small cage in the grounds. A relic of another era and something management should address I feel and for that I’ve deducted 2 stars from my otherwise 4 star rating

Clean and modern hotel near the beach shame about the lemur 

The Victoria Hotel is a well appointed hotel and welcomes travellers however there is a very big drawback particularly if you are visiting Madagascar to see lemurs in their natural habitat. Unfortunately the hotel clearly does not support lemur preservation or good animal husbandry. There is a single lemur kept in a cage with no trees or anything to keep it interested. I would not recommend this hotel as they clearly do not respect local wildlife.

Sad caged lemur

I spent a little less than a week on vacation in Tamatave and I was with my wife in this establishment. Very warm home, very courteous service staff. The room was very comfortable. It's a shame that during our stay there was a disconnect to the internet. The owner, however, granted us a discount on the fare. Thanks to him. Breakfast is copious. We hadn't had a meal at this establishment. A bemool still on its location because google map introduced us to the back of a neighborhood. The coordinates provided were wrong. The road leading to the hotel along the Tamatave beach because a street was cut off for work. We were satisfied with our stay.

I'm going back.

Hotel by the sea, in a quiet place, beautiful complex with large swimming pool, spacious rooms very good bedding, few customers, welcoming staff, you have to be transported or by taxi to get there. For me the most beautiful hotel in Tamatave despite the high room rates 165000ar at night, but it's worth the discovery to try, great for photos special events weddings or seminars

hotel high-end restaurant

I like the place, we went there to get some rest and find a quiet place to relax a little on the outskirts of Tamatave city. It was only for one day, we didn't get a room. The service is satisfactory, the staff is in the care of the customers. We found the pool very nice and pleasant, we took photos because the place is very beautiful. It is two feet from the beach, and the beach is not crowded like other places during the holidays. Try the baking shrimp and you would tell me some news!

The restaurant

There's no hot water. The staff is dirty. Keep the same clothes (three days) breakfast sickening and not hungry. No air conditioning in the dining room. Electricity jumps several times a day. Not all rooms are air conditioned at last (mobile air conditioning in Chinese). The bathroom and toilet are glued together without separation. I can sit on the toilet when I shower. After taking a shower I won't tell you. It's full of water. Dirty toilet. The access to the hotel is a long sand chimney. Dizzy road. The minibar partially doesn't work. Nothing good about the bathroom. And you need to know how to speak Chinese.
