Ths hotel is perched on the hillside in the middle of Tana. We stayed here on 3 occasions whist on holiday in Madagascar, using it as a stopover prior to the next stage of our journey. It is very central in town. The journey from the airport in the midst of the day takes an hour and it's really interesting.... More

My husband and I stayed here as a stop over hotel between places we were visiting in Madagascar for our honeymoon. We were not expecting much. Much to our surprise, it was a wonderful hotel. The food, service, room, and spa were fantastic. We bought some jewelry in the lobby as well that was beautiful from a local designer. The... More

We stayed at the Palissandre Hotel for 4 nights and found the staff to be very helpful, the food excellent, the rooms clean and comfortable. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. The view across the city from the restaurant terrace is terrific. If you need to find a great place to stay in Tana this is it.

This may well be the best hotel in Tana and quite good but don't expect too much.  The rooms are reasonable in size but cramped in places, particularly around the desk.   However, we found that the walls and doors very thin and nowhere near sound proof.  We woke up in the middle of the night convinced that someone had opened...

The approach to Le Royal Palissandre is on a narrow, shabby lane towards the top of the city, but step inside and you're in a lovely place. Greeted with a glass of a chilled peppermint drink you are immediately struck by the friendliness of the staff. My room was on the third floor. It had a balcony with a view... More

Seems like it was only yesterday as we checked into this hotel and yet that was New Year 2011! Nevertheless it is definitely worth recommending! Palissandre is a well located hotel in the city centre on a one way busy street. It is a small neat hotel check-in/out was swift and refreshing with a shot of cold sweet-flavored rum. the... More

The Palissandre is a cozy and friendly establishment - very welcoming and not at all pretentious. The rooms are simple, while the dark wood gave the place a warm and classy vibe. I very much enjoyed the gym (modern cardio, sauna) and also stopped in the spa for a pedi (which wasn't the greatest, oh well). The service was exceptional.... More

I stayed at the Palissandre several times during a work trip to Madagascar, and was impressed every time. The hotel has an individual style, kitted out in wood, and the rooms are immaculately clean. The staff are fluent in English and unfailingly helpful whilst at the same time discreet. When I ate in the restaurant I found it to be... More
