About The 5/5 Hotel
A hotel born in Mahajanga
The 5/5 Hotel is an independent hotel located on Rue Julepinte, in the very heart of Mahajanga, a short walk from the seafront and the town’s main public offices. Our prime location, between the town hall and the cathedral and a 10-minute walk from the sea, makes it an ideal base to explore Mahajanga and its surroundings.
Founded with a simple vision, to offer comfortable, clean and affordable accommodation in a town where tourism is booming, The 5/5 Hotel has been built on the trust of its guests: Malagasy travellers from the highlands, business travellers and international tourists discovering the west coast of Madagascar.
What sets us apart
In a hotel market dominated by extremes, The 5/5 Hotel has a clear position: the best value for money in Mahajanga. Our 33 rooms, with fan or air conditioning, for 2 to 5 guests, are cleaned daily and come with a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi.
Our reception is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you arrive at dawn from Antananarivo or late at night after a delayed flight, our team is here to welcome you, point you to the best restaurants in Mahajanga, arrange a transfer or advise you on trips to the Cirque Rouge or Ankarafantsika National Park.
Our team
The 5/5 Hotel team is made up of Mahajanga locals at heart, proud of their town and happy to share it. We speak French, Malagasy and English. Every staff member is trained to provide attentive service, in the spirit of the mora mora philosophy: the art of taking your time, without ever missing the essentials.
Our local knowledge is a real asset for you: we know where to eat local food, how to negotiate with taxis, which guide to recommend for the places to visit around Mahajanga, and when to go to avoid the crowds at the Cirque Rouge.
