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.

Kiva yksinkertainen hotelli keskustassa

Hotelli oli aika yksinkertainen, mutta toimi hyvin. Palvelu oli ystävällistä ja henkilökunta puhui englantia. Huoneeni oli siisti. Olin talvella eikä huoneessa ollut lämmitystä, minkä vuoksi laattalattia oli kylmä. Sängyssä oli paksu peitto, joten nukkuessa ei tullut kylmä. Hotellin ravintola oli hyvä. Sijainti oli pikkukadulla ihan ydinkeskustassa. Hotellin järjestämät kuljetukset kaupungin ulkopuolella oleviin nähtävyyksiin olivat loistavia (kuljettajat puhuivat englantia ja antoivat hyviä vinkkejä, mutta kyydit olivat silti samoissa hinnoissa kuin taksin ottaminen kadulta).

The room was spacious with a personal safe.Had air conditioning and en suite facilities with a good strong shower.The steps leading to the room could do with extra lighting and a makeover.The restaurant was on the opposite side of the street,pleasant and helpful staff with indoor and outdoor dining.Food was reasonably priced and a good selection on offer.The place is within easy reach of street markets and major landmarks.Security staff present day and night.The price per room was very reasonable.in all, it makes a pleasant stay.

Zentral

Unser Zimmer Junior Suit war sehr gross und sauber jedoch hat das Mobiliar ein bisschen mitgenommen gewirkt. Auch haben wir ein Mückennetz vermisst. Das Zustellbett war sehr schlecht und wir mussten schlussendlich zu dritt in einem Bett schlafen. Das Hauptbett war jedoch sehr bequem. Der Standort ist einzigartig und sehr zentral. Geht fast nicht mehr besser. Trotzdem ist es sehr ruhig und sicher.

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.

Choissiez la bonne chambre

L'hôtel est sympa, mais évitez certaines chambres, comme la numéro 7. Elle pue legerement et le plafond est trop bas. Le resto est très bien et le personnel très accueillant.

Bonne qualité vs prix

Tres bonne qualité par rapport au prix du séjour. Acceuil sympa et un très bon resto. Les chambres sont de bon standard. Le quartier est un peu chaud le soir comme partout au centre de Tana.

6/10 Okay

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.
