THE WORST NIGHTMARE
I had the absolute worst experience at this hotel in Antananarivo! The room was filthy, and the staff were rude and completely unprofessional. To make matters worse, there was no Wi-Fi at all, and the water stopped in the middle of my shower! When I asked for help, no one did anything. The hotel reeked of cigarette smoke, and the staff couldn’t care less. But the worst part—when I complained to the manager, an aggressive man, he actually called the police! It was insane. I was taken to the police station for no reason and kept there for 6 hours. No one spoke English, and I was terrified. They even tried to take me to another location, but I refused and demanded they call the US ambassador. This was a nightmare! Avoid this hotel at all costs. The immigration police came to inspect the place, and even they confirmed the conditions were horrible.

Spacious room and excellent restaurant
The room was better than other hotels we stayed at in Antananarivo and it’s very central so easy to move around. The restaurant was popular and served an excellent pizza and other meals we tried. Mosquito net didn’t cover the bed properly and shower water was luke warm. Other than that, the room was spacious and had a little fridge/freezer and tea making facilities which was really nice and missing from many other facilities we stayed at.

Relaxed environment and close to town
A lovely hotel with a great restaurant and chilled, relaxed atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and Thursday through Saturday the bar is lively. We had minor problems with the in room safes (not secure, despite a change of room) but the rooms in general were clean, quirky and comfortable. The hotel is an easy walk into the centre of town, with ATMs etc close by.

Peter, uk

great restaurant but ...
The hotel is a $60US drive from the airport. It is a smallplace with further rooms probably added lalter over the road up and up some concrete stairs, down a dark alley which is often full of unsavory types and beggars. A little alarming at night. Staff, only speak French and the manager was very unfriendly.

Clean, but small rooms
This is my 2nd time at this hotel. The Last time I stayed in their "deluxe" rooms, which is larger. This time it was the "standard". The standard rooms are small with very low ceiling, but are clean and ok for the price. I just wish they use white sheets and towels.

More of a restaurant than a hotel
It was clear that more focus was being put on the fantastic restaurant than the rather simple hotel facilities. The beds were not terribly comfortable, some rooms did not have mosquito nets, no toiletries were provided, the rooms did not have sufficient number of power sockets, the rooms were dark. But there was free wifi, which was fast. The personnel was professional and the overal value for money was actually very good. They kept booking records manually in a massive paper book and missed the fact that I changed my reservation - luckily, there was availability.

More focus on restaurant than on the hotel
The hotel had a great location right in the middle of the capital city, close to banks and shops. It had a little garden/terrace on a side street, so one could forget there was a bustling city around. The rooms were very simple and the beds were not terribly comfortable. No toiletries were provided and the towels were old. However, the hotel was still a very good value for money, the personnel was professional and the restaurant was absolutely fantastic.

Good one!
I enjoyed my stay there ~! Staff are nice and they even send me to another hotel next door when they are fully booked themselves. The hotel next door is jasmine hotel, which is a weird but nice hotel/chinese restaurant. The boss is nice as the boss from La rubudiere and the food is just as greate as la rubieiere. Nice experience !
