La piccola corte
French-managed restaurant in a nicely renovated colonial building. Sophisticated kitchen, good service. Open for lunch and dinner.
This hotel is near the city center and decorates itself with three stars, which is not justified; the quality of service is by far inferior to Antananarivo's Hôtel Anjary (same owner).
Near Mahajanga's city center. Promises "European" comfort and receives very good feedback from travellers. Good restaurant.
On a hill with sea view. Old and old-fashioned building that was undergoing renovation in October 2017, small pool available. Friendly, helpful staff and French management.
