I came once in this hotel was back in 2008. God there is a very big difference, they renovated the rooms, the restaurant, the reception. It is such a beautiful hotel, and their staff are very friendly and helpful. I loved it over there and I would definitely go back if I could. The prices are really considerable comparing to other hotels, whereby the quality is not as good as Karthala while they are expensive. This is a "coup de coeur" as they say in French, fell in love with it. You must go. It's a bit far from the city so if you need to be in town, this could be a bummer but if you want to spend a calm relaxing holiday, this is defenitely it. 

Amazing, renovated, différent from my last visit

when i saw the pictures and the ocation a was really interested in visiting this hotel. and a was not wroong. such a gret hotel. the staff is so friendly and caring. the rooms are clean and very well equiped. there is such a great weather, its cool. the restaurant is really good. they have a very talented cook. the food is amazing. 
over all a had a great time in this hotel.

great hotel!!

I went to Karthala hotel 2 weeks ago.  I spent a nice time.  Overall the service is OK.  I have stayed in Comoros 6 months and i am well placed to write this review.  Note that Comoros is a poor country and we don't have much facilities as we expect as compared to other countries.  

The breakfast was delayed even through i reached the hotel by 10.00 am.  The food is not so tasty.  The room was OK.  I paid like 50 Euros for 1 day.  Its recommended to have Euro as foreign currency or Comorian Frank.  

I will rate this hotel average because of the country status.  I have been to several hotels there.  So if you want a cheap hotel to stay,  this is the place.  I will also recommend to have a transport.  

The only advantage is that the place is calm.  I read the other reviews.  I also confirm that the swimming pool was empty.  As I said before,  they dont have potable water for drinking so dont expect this hotel to provide water for swimming pool. 

this is my review.  You guys can contact me for further details.

My Day at Karthala Hotel

I had a one night stop in the Comoros. I would have loved to stay in famous French mercenary Bob Denard's Galawa Hotel, but it's been erased and not yet rebuilt. I would have preferred the Ithsandra Hotel, the only acceptable name on the island, but it was fully booked (French army). So I ended up in the Karthala. It was built with love to detail, ca. 40 years ago, originally as a student dormitory, then as a hotel, but the decline has been terrible, especially after a former management desaster. Pool is empty, facades crumbling, rooms mouldy, gardens unkept, restaurant an adventure, credit card payment not possible. But the worst: the distance from the airport is the double from the Ithsandra, and the driving style on the island is completeley brainless. The only positive aspect: the Karthala Hotel's manager on duty was very friendly and helpful.

Sad decline

I checked out this hotel as it looks lovely on the website but I booked another option for my stay in Comoros. How lucky I was! When we arrived, we were greeted by the most pathetic stone dolphin and pineapple I have ever seen on the parking lot. The pool was empty (i.e. no water), the buildings completely run down and the 2 staff in the restaurant were sleeping on a chair. Electricity wires were dangling dangerously over our heads and we saw the ocean from afar (so not a beach-side hotel as indicated on their website). All rooms face the ugly reception area and the terraces are so small you basically share it with your neighbors. I have traveled all over the world and honestly, this is the saddest hotel I have ever witnessed
