I will recommend
I was satisfied, nice room, clean, well fitted with mini bar and tv, safebox, large bathroom, the location has fantastic view over the city, helpful and friendly staff. But there is no hair dryer and the breakfast service need improving. One has to order the previous day, which is not always possible according to one’s activities

Great overnight stay
We booked this really last minute (while we were in Nairobi waiting for our connecting flight to Madagascar) The staff were really friendly, service great as the room only £25 for the night. It was just a place for us to sleep before we headed south the next day but will use it again when we head back to the capital for our flight home

A good deal for accommodation in Antananarivo
Two night stay in a modern quiet and clean room with excellent sleeping conditions, effective free wift, safe parking space for the car, nice view on the city. Breakfast is OK without being exceptional: There maybe the need to give the client a choice on how he would prefer his scrambled eggs... A very good and far less expensive alternative to existing 4 stars hotels in Antananarivo if you have transportation to go out for meals.

to avoid
We arrived late at 10 pm to the hotel and our three rooms aren't available without reason. Never see the staff to fix this problem. We are moved to an other hotel at Relais des hautes Villes inside TWO rooms. Shame to this hotel. To avoid absolutely. Never apology from the manager. We require refund

A modern, comfortable hotel in the Haute Ville of Tananarive. Staff were very attentive and friendly, and accompanied me in the darkness of the evening walk back from the nearest restaurant.

Residence but not a hotel
I had reserved and paid by internet. When I got there I realized it was a residence or more an appartment building but not a hotel. No restaurant or bar in Rova. No where to eat nearby. So I left.

Best buget hotel in Tana
The hotel is by far the best I've had in Madagascar and probably in top 10 budget hotels overall. I have had a 1 bedroom apartment with hotel service, both size and cleanness were superb. 2 things that were not perfect: 1. Hotel location is not very central and you will need a taxi to go back from the city center. Place is located on the hill. 2. Food in the hotel could have been better for the price. It was fresh, but not very tasty and didn't match the hotel's otherwise very high standard.

Safe and calm place close to the police station
The hotel is up close to the Rova (queen's palace) and very calm place. The location is great. Hotel proposes breakfast upon pre-ordering. However, for the cons, there is no Air Conditioner (or fan) which can be quite difficult to bear with during the hot season. Staff are nice and very helpful, just ask :-). I experienced for a couple of nights dogs barking at 4am at my window, but well... That's life :-). THe view was great over Antananarivo. The hotel does not provide lunch or dinner, but there are solutions for in-room delivery. I liked the business model which consists of residences offered to guests. After 5, apart from the guards, there will be no one to help, but that guarantees your tranquility as well as a guest. I did enjoy it as I came mainly to rest. Don't forget to book your taxi the day prior to your departure (critical if you have a late night flight) at latest as taxis can be scarce there.

Comfortable & well-furnished with nice views
We arrived in the middle of the night with some confusion about our reservation, as we booked through hotels.com, but the reservation said expedia. The rooms were nice & well-appointed. They appeared to have not been dusted in a while, hence the less than 5 rating on cleanliness & maintenance. The breakfast was not cheap, but very tasty. Considering what we needed, this hotel was an excellent value. We were desperate to find decent rooms at the last minute for visiting relatives & these were very satisfactory. I do wish the reservation had been clearer that we were sharing a bathroom, but it was still a good experience. I would stay there again.

Greit.
Vi var her i en natt pga mellomlanding(fly). Det var litt for langt unna flyplassen(spesielt når det var trafikk da vi skulle tilbake til flyplassen og det var nasjonaldag). Vi ankom om natten så personalet satt og ventet på oss. Det var god service og de viste oss rommet vårt i kjelleren. Jeg var ganske lei av at man alltid får et rom i kjelleren på noen hoteller. På morgenen åpnet jeg gardinene og til min store overraskelse hadde vi utsikt over store deler av byen. Hotellet ligger på en høyde langt oppover i byen. Frokosten dagen etter var ikke mer enn helt ok. En tørr loff med syltetøy, en croissant og kaffe/te/juice. Vi fikk transport til flyplassen på hotellet. Sjåføren kjørte som et svin og jeg var livredd.

Hotel mit gutem Standard
Haute Ville erlaubt den Rückzug von der sehr belebten, eher schmutzigen Stadt. Zimmer mit Sicht auf Stadt. Gleichzeitig ist die Avenue de L' Indépendance zu Fuss erreichbar für die Mutigen, ansonsten eine kurze Fahrt im Taxi und man ist mitten im pulsierenden Leben der Stadt. Adema Navette bringt einem vom Flughafen in 1 1/2 h zum Hotel und man einiges von Tana gesehen.

Propre et accueillant
Un accueil très serviable et un hotel propre et très régulièrement entretenu. Petits déjeuner copieux et personnel attentif. Petit bémol sur l humidité et le froid des chambres (pas de chauffage) situées à l étage le plus bas. Bonne adresse pour un séjour à Tana quelque soit sa durée.

Välskött hotell i relativt sett lugnt område
Hotellet är välskött, rent och känns säkert. Det finns dock ingen restaurang precis i närheten. Närmaste restaurang ligger några hundra meter bort och det finns inga gatlysen precis som i övriga Antananarivo. Hotellföreståndarinnan trodde att det var säkert ute före kl 20. För transport några längre sträckor rekommenderas nog taxi kvällstid.
