Minerva Apart

It’s close to the small village that has shops and restaurants and where you can catch a local bus to the park; the walk up the hill to the park takes over an hour, so you need transport. I really liked that the room had tupperware so I could put a packed lunch in for the park, and having a living room after three weeks in just a room was nice; the water was hot too! The town is mostly cash‑only and there are no traditional cash points (mobile money works), so bring a lot of cash from Fianarantsoa. They had a water problem when I was there, worked hard to fix it, were very apologetic, and let me check out late so I could finish showering.

The location is amazing, just a 5‑minute walk from the city center and restaurants; the room has a small kitchen and a balcony with a mountain view. Everyone on staff is super friendly and accommodating, they helped us find a guide for the park and arranged the departure transport. Thanks to Jeannot and his whole family! Nothing at all to complain about.

The apartment is spectacular with a beautiful view. Our stay was very disappointing: the mattress was extremely uncomfortable, and on alternating mornings there was no water for a shower. We had paid for the room and it was supposed to be vacated at 11 am, not 7 am, yet we left at 7 am as originally planned. Unfortunately, our driver’s vehicle broke down and the repair wasn’t completed until 11 am, so we asked to stay in the room until then because it was already paid for and the normal checkout time was 11 am. The owner refused, showing no understanding or flexibility for this exceptional situation. Moreover, there is no parking that allows the driver to park his vehicle safely. Given these various inconveniences, we are very disappointed with our experience and do not recommend the place.

An absolutely great place! We stayed for two nights and felt like part of the village, not a tourist from a hotel. Jeannot the owner welcomed us nicely, gave us tips about the area, and arranged a really good guide for the national park. The apartment had everything needed for cooking and a nice terrace for breakfast. Highly recommended!

“Wonderful stay”

Jeannot, the host, is the perfect host! He was extremely helpful, arranging everything for us—visit to the national park, guides, transportation. For this price I can’t name any issues.
