'''Mimi Hotel is located centrally in the northern part of Sambava, a crossroad town of the SAVA region (Sambava - Antalaha - Vohemar - Andapa) in northeastern Madagascar. Mimi Hotel does not only offer accommodation, but also a restaurant, patisserie and advice to nearby conservation areas and national parks.'''
From the hotel to [[Sambava Airport ]] it is only a short 10-minute [[Daniela Sambava|tuk-tuk ride]]. The taxi-brousse station with cars leaving to [[Vohemar ]] and [[Andapa ]] (5,000/7,000 Ariary in 2014) can be reached within ten minutes by foot.
Guests staying at Mimi Hotel can choose between 16 rooms in two-storey buildings and four separate standing bungalows. All rooms and bungalows have a private toilet and shower with hot water, satellite TV, mosquito net and fan. The bungalows as well as the rooms on the ground floor come with a terrace, the rooms on the upper floor with a balcony. On the hotel ground is also a garden with plants and flowers of the region.
Next to the restaurant is the patisserie, where hotel guests can order breakfast in the morning. Throughout the day sweet delights such as cakes, croissants, tarte and ice-cream are available.
The owner of the entire establishment is Madame Sahondra, also known as "Mimi". Her son Bruno Lee Sio Tision is the president of the Regional Tourism Office (RTO). As Bruno has visited visits all nearby conservation areas and national parks personally several timesa year, he can give great advice to adventurers planning to discover the natural beauties of [[Marojejy National Park]] and [[Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve]]. Bruno can help to work out an itinerary as well as organise a transport.
Most of the guests staying at Mimi Hotel use it as a base camp before going into the wild or on their way back into civilisation. A shop at Mimi Hotel sells everything what one needs for a visit to the park (from toilet paper, mosquito spray, first aid to food such as canned tomatoes and spaghetti). A very reasonable laundry service takes care of the dirty clothes after returning back to the hotel.
