About

Madagascar Underground is Madagascar's very first and only hostel located in the heart of Antananarivo. Super cool and comfortable accommodation at an unbeatable price. We can hook you up, advise, and get you to all the best spots around Mada, the fastest and most stylish ways possible. The hostel is situated in a large, open spaced, late 60's post art deco retro house. With multiple terraces, large bar/lounge, cinema and games room, restaurant and backyard.

The hostel is located in a quiet street in the city centre. Super safe, and no traffic. Easy walking distance to all the other bars, restaurants and clubs. The easiest way to find us is to ask for the old american embassy in Antsahavola. We are right next door.

Our two dorm and one private room have secure lockers, 4 shared toilets and 4 shared showers. One private has an ensuite with toilet and shower. All rooms share a communal kitchen, and can use the cinema/games room and library.

Nice staff, downtown location. Electrical outlets by the beds didnt work in my room, had to charge my phone in the lobby. The resturant is open to the public, so you might see outsiders near the residence area, but it feels safe generally with the cameras in the hall.

Dreadful hostel. Cheap but not particularly so. Hot water and Wi-Fi didn't work properly (credit to the girl trying to fix the hot water by doing something clever with the water supply to the urinals, but they should invest in a plumber rather than her). Kitchen closed without notice around 8 pm. Breakfast inedible. Hard to find with no obvious sign outside. Nothing to stop anyone walking in off the street. Rooftop bar closed. Refused to give my guide the Wi-Fi password.
