Antananarivo Avaradrano Hotels with Airport pickup service

Not recommended, the reason is that it is far from the tourist attractions, the price/performance ratio is not high, many hotels in Tana are under the name of Radisson 😸, the whole East Africa, Radisson franchise stores are everywhere, but this Radisson is located in the suburbs, I have lived in the Radisson apartment in the old town, it is within walking distance to the tourist attractions, this one is a bit far, you have to take a taxi, and to be honest, I don't think it is special, it is more than 100 yuan expensive for no reason, more importantly: the free airport shuttle is nonsense, nonsense, nonsense 😭😭, just take a taxi yourself, emails are not replied, you have to call to book a pick-up, the price is twice that of the airport taxi, more locals come, the reason is that there is a cinema next to it, suitable for weekends, after all, locals don't go to tourist attractions 😭

Really nice, new hotel. Located in a safe area of town with nearby shops and restaurants. Not sure why they call this area ”waterfront” since it really not, but, in any case, it's an oasis in the middle of ”Tana”. Hotel looks brand new and the pool area is gorgeous with nice views of the city. Rooms are spacious and bed is very comfy. Staff is great and very helpful. Restaurant was very good (although we tried it only for breakfast). The lobby and restaurant seem to be a popular meeting place for local business people. Highly recommend if you are visiting Antananarivo.

I was traveling for work, and the first part of my trip was pretty good. The staff were friendly and helpful, and even found me a doctor when I got sick one evening. The breakfast was excellent. Wifi was pretty reliable. But it was a loud hotel. Initially there was some construction going on outside the window of my room, so even when my room got a bit stuffy it was hard to keep the window open long because of the noise. Then later in the week there were about 200 young athletes staying in the hotel and it descended into chaos. It's a really well-located hotel, and so you may still choose to stay. If you find it too loud, I recommend walking around the corner to Paradise Restaurant (actually I recommend this anyway!) the atmosphere is a peaceful buzz of excitement and the food is delicious!!

I have stayed ２ times so far. Although it is an old hotel, the location is good and you can be satisfied with the hotel services such as breakfast, sports gym and spa. However, at midnight, the hotel staff had invaded with the key. At 2:30 midnight from August 19th to 20th, 2023, a male hotel staff used the key to enter the room with a woman. When I yelled, they hurried out, and for a while they were quarreling in the hallway, and then the staff called, ”I'm sorry I opened it because I thought it was an empty room.” The next day I went to the front desk to complain, but it was not reported and it seemed to be erased among the staff. So far there is no official apology from the hotel. Those who stay should put chairs or suitcases in front of the door and be careful not to physically open the door. I have stayed here twice now. Although it is an older hotel, hotel services such as breakfast, gym, and spa are satisfactory. However, one time, the hotel staff used a duplicate key late at night to gain entry. On August 19-20, 2023, a male hotel staff member entered the room with a female using a duplicate key at 2:30 a.m. When I yelled at them, they left in a hurry and argued in the hallway for a while. Later, I received a phone call and stuff saying, ”I thought it was an empty room and opened it, I'm sorry.” The next day, Sunday morning I went to the front desk to complain, but it was not reported to reception and seemed to have been hushed among the staff. So far, there has been no formal apology from the hotel. Those who are staying at the hotel should be vigilant to make sure that the door cannot be physically opened by placing a chair or suitcase in front of the door.

The breakfast is good, the location is very good, very close to the factory, driving only 10 minutes. When you go, you will meet National Day and watch the best place for fireworks show!

I don’t know why this place is not rated high. I have stayed in other hotels in Tana, and this is undoubtedly the best. The double bed in Raddison ably is made up of very small single beds, and my back hurts after sleeping for one night. The bed and room are huge. There is a cash machine and a large supermarket just outside the road. Breakfast is much better than Raddison Blu. Very hearty. A little less fruit. Tana deserves first place, but the price is indeed a bit too high.

Fantastic Hotel, Spa & Accommodation. Fully recommended. Spacious Rooms. Three Bars, Three Restaurants & a much needed spa. All in the heart of Antananarivo. Easy access to little places in the capital. Friendly and helpful staff to support your stay

Hotel Le Grand Mellis Antananarivo is a 3 star hotel. I stayed in room 209 on September 13th 2019. The hotel is located in a busy city center area and was undergoing renovation. Entry to the hotel is through a glass door. The lobby is kind of small. The reception staff is friendly, helpful and can communicate in English with some degree of difficulty yet service is substandard. I have noticed very active clean girls doing the cleaning. They are extremely friendly and work very hard. Room is a little tight, but reasonably furnished. The room has no view and is located top of the hotel kitchen. The room is full of odors released from kitchen exhaust. I was not able to change room because the hotel was fully booked. The room has a small fridge and a mini bar. It also has a split air conditioning unit, I am not sure if it is operational or not. Toilet is renovated with a shower cabinet and hotel branded set of towels. You also get two free 500ml water bottles a day. The hotel has a business center, gym and massage parlor and a new glass elevator. You are expected to pay for breakfast. Breakfast buffet is small which is expected for such a small hotel. It included beans, noodles, and fish. Salad and very scanty selection of cheese. Muesli, raisins, nuts and yoghurt. Bread, croissants and cake. Drinks included juices, coffee and tea. The buffet is manned, which made me a little uncomfortable. I like to pick my own food without having someone following me while picking my food. In summary, you will find most of the facilities that you find in a 5 star hotel in a smaller scale or may be shabby. It is suitable for budget travelers that are not very picky and suitable for businessmen and professionals.

Back after 10 years in this cozy hotel decorated in homage to India, this time I took a room on the 2nd floor courtyard side with shower for 120 thousand Ar simple breakfast offered but I preferred to take the full 15 thousand Ar and I was not disappointed (coffee, fruit juice, 2 pancakes, croissant, omelette, jam, bread and butter). Located in the Ambondrona district, 6 minutes on foot via the stairs to get to Analakely. The staff is very welcoming and always with a smile, if you like to smoke a cigar on the terrace or at the bar with the boss then you can accompany him and chat. There are also mini suites at 150 thousand Ar. Minibar, kettle, air conditioning and balcony in all rooms.
