Calypso Hôtel

Excellent hotel. I was in Tamatave for two days for work. From the time I arrived at the hotel to the day I left, I was happy and impressed. The welcome at the reception was so warm. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and of good size. The restaurant had good choices for dinner. I will definitely be staying here every time I come to Tamatave for work.

Professional and up to date with modernness. Very good hotel with good atmosphere. Always willing to assist, stuff very good and eager to please. Food is quite good, perfect place for a getaway with family or partner. Will definitely visit again.

I travel extensively through Africa for business and am always pleased when I find a hotel that meets all of my personal wants. The Calypso has fantastic air conditioning in the guest rooms. I rate it a 10/10 and typically this is my largest complaint with the rooms I stay in. But the staff at this hotel is so good that it would still rate high with me even if the air con was not so good. Everyone is friendly and helpful at the hotel. The food is always good, the spa is excellent and good at what they do. But I would like to specifically recognize the waitstaff in the restaurant. They are all wonderful and I feel like I am among friends when I am there. That is a treat for someone that travels and spends extended time at a hotel. I look forward to the many business trips I will make to the Calypso in the next 2 years!

Beautifully appointed hotel with amazing views in a quiet area of town. Attentive staff members, pristine rooms and blissfully hot showers after many hours on dusty roads. The dinner, breakfast and the boxed lunch were just okay. WiFi is strong in the common areas. There's an extra charge to run the A/C or the heating unit.

Post pandemic travel in Madagascar is often uncertain, with some facilities showing decline with limited tourism, but this place is an exception. What it lacks, strangely, are sea views. Rooms were clean with contemporary furnishing and bathroom/shower designs. Service was really lovely, especially on the dining room/bar terrace which overlooks a quiet street. The much lauded Ivan is sadly gone, but Iando and his young colleagues were superb at managing a lively evening convergence of diverse groups, local and foreign. Good food and wine, not over-priced. The spinach/lentil accompaniment was a rare departure from ubiquitous legumes sautee. My third floor room was above the terrace and reception, which can get noisy, so I switched to a room at the rear of the building. What a rare treat to have a working screen door to small terrace, so mosquito nets and air conditioning at night were not necessary! WiFi in room was fine. The beach and Shoprite are a short walk or rickshaw journey away. I wouldn't walk after dark, but otherwise felt both safe and welcomed as a solo woman traveller.

Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement l'équipe de Calypso pour avoir rendu mon séjour encore plus spécial. Non seulement l'hôtel est magnifique et parfaitement situé, mais en plus, ils ont eu la gentillesse de me surprendre avec un délicieux gâteau d'anniversaire! Ce geste attentionné m'a profondément touché et a ajouté une touche unique à mon séjour. La chambre était impeccable, très confortable, et l'ensemble du personnel a été accueillant et professionnel. Le petit-déjeuner était délicieux et varié. C'est un endroit parfait pour se détendre et profiter d'un service de qualité. Je recommande vivement et je n'hésiterai pas à revenir. Un grand merci à l'équipe. 🥂
