Hotels With Swimming Pools in Antananarivo, Madagascar

We spent two nights at this hotel. Because it seemed very unsafe to leave the property. We ate all of our meals there. Most of them were good. But when we went to the sky bar for dinner, we got scammed. We asked the bartender for two glasses of a Chardonnay. He told us he did not have it by the glass. So we asked to see the wine list to see if we could order a bottle. He then checked the refrigerator at the bar and took out three bottles of white wine. One of them was Chardonnay, and the other two were Sauvignon blanc. We asked him how much the bottle of Chardonnay was he said he did not know and he checked the wine list, but it was not on the list according to him He made several phone calls and inquiries to find out how much the bottle of wine was. After about 15 minutes with no answer and the wine sitting there getting warm and us wanting to have a drink, we asked him to just go ahead and open it because we had looked at the wine list and the wines listed were mostly around $60. The wine was fine, but certainly nothing great. When we got the check, they charged us about $250 for the bottle of wine. We were stunned. We enjoy wine, but I can honestly say we have never had a bottle of wine that cost $250. Especially one that was pulled out of the refrigerator at the bar. It didn’t even come from a wine cellar. When we questioned it, another woman who I assume was a manager came over and pointed to the wine list and showed us that it was the one that was marked $1,100,000 Madagascar That equates to about $250. They had already taken the bottle away so we couldn’t even question whether that was the same bottle but either way there is certainly a question why they couldn’t find the price for the bottle that we had if it was right there on the wine list. I think they just scammed us. The rest of the hotel stay was nice the rooms were fine and the Spa technicians were really excellent Breakfast buffet was good as well. But I would never send anybody to this hotel, knowing that they feel comfortable scamming. Guests. It was an awful feeling.

We were accommodated here for one night by the airport as our plane was delayed. The lobby is huge and spacious and you can immediately feel that you are in China here. The reception is very pleasant, nothing to say. We were installed in our room, which was, I must admit, extremely clean, with a well-equipped luxury bathroom! Too bad the view on the road is atrocious. We then went down to lunch (meals paid for by the airport) and it was frankly disgusting! Our menu was imposed and we had the impression that they had prepared the fridge funds for us... So much so that in the evening we preferred to go out to eat elsewhere even if we could have stayed at the hotel and eat free. The breakfast is also unworthy! It's not restocked so when we came down around 8:30 there were only a few bits of watermelon, broth, bread and a bit of cheese left. Very limited for a hotel of this standard, especially since the other hotel guests were entitled to the same buffet. We asked if they were going to refill and clearly that bothered the waitress. In short, for a service that we got for free, it's still fine, but it's clear that I won't pay to return to this hotel.

Séjour de 3 jours pour une mission de travail. Cela fait 1 mois maintenant que le Radisson refuse de me rembourser la pré-autorisation de paiement (495 dollars) qu'ils ont prélevé lors de mon arrivée et dont ils m'ont assuré que cela ne serait pas débité de mon compte. Ils ont soi-disant annulé la préautorisation avant que je procède au paiement de mon séjour mais je me retrouve maintenant avec ces 495 dollars de pré-autorisation débité, en plus de mon séjour. Ces pratiques de préautorisation encaissée puis annulée sont vraiment floues. C'est du vol. C'est inacceptable et malhonnête de la part d'une grande chaîne. C'est indécent de n'avoir aucun service client pouvant/souhaitant régler ce litige. Attention, c'est déjà arrivé à d'autres clients (avis TripAdvisor). 3 day stay for a work mission. It's been a month now that the Radisson has refused to reimburse me for the pre-authorization payment ($495) that they took when I arrived and which they assured me would not be debited from my account. They supposedly canceled the pre-authorization before I payed for my stay, but now I'm left with this $495 pre-authorization charge, in addition to my stay. These practices of pre-authorization being cashed and then canceled seem really vague. This is theft. This is unacceptable and dishonest from a major chain. It is indecent to have no customer service that can/wishes to resolve this dispute. Be careful, this has already happened to other customers (TripAdvisor review)

Close to the airport, but quiet at night. Our upstairs bedroom was clean, cosy and nicely decorated, with attractive floral hangings. The bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water in the shower, the zebu we ate for dinner was the tenderest we had in Madagascar. The staff were charming. Breakfast is very basic, but adequate. Price/quality is excellent and the WiFi worked well.

Establishment without supervision. The boss or manager?? Invisible. The day of arrival, impeccable dinner. The next day disaster. A ginger steak without ginger and unspeakable, acceptable flambés. But two hours for that. There were only 7 people in the restaurant. The reason given: The chef was not there. And above all, the hotel is located in a HIGH RISK place in the evening, access by 4x4 otherwise you do not arrive. Almost a kilometer of road. I canceled the reservations planned for the following days. Serge MARTIN

My wife and I spent one night at Le Relais des Plateaux on the way to Antsiranana/Diego Suarez. Our stay was very short as we arrived late from the Air France flight and left very early. However, it was enough to take note that Le Relais des Plateaux is a very good option for a stay in Antananarivo. The shuttle waited for us at the terminal. As our flight was leaving very early in the morning the driver agreed to take us to the hotel without waiting for the last passengers to come which was a nice attention. Check-in was fast and efficient. The room was very spacious - so was the bathroom - clean and comfortable. As we had to leave the hotel at 4:00 AM a breakfast box had been prepared to our attention. I definitely recommend Le Relais des Plateaux for a stay in Antananarivo, especially to those who have to remain in the vicinity of the airport.

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!!

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 😭

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 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.

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

My wife and i stayed here twice while travelling around Madagascar in September. The accommodation was very clean and of a very good standard. Staff were very helpful and friendly, the restaurant provided good food in the evening as well as an excellent breakfast with plenty of choices and there was some live music in the evening. It is in a really good location, walking distance to the main market area, as well as close to several sights. We would unhesitatingly stay here again and definitely recommend it.

We were accommodated here for one night by the airport as our plane was delayed. The lobby is huge and spacious and you can immediately feel that you are in China here. The reception is very pleasant, nothing to say. We were installed in our room, which was, I must admit, extremely clean, with a well-equipped luxury bathroom! Too bad the view on the road is atrocious. We then went down to lunch (meals paid for by the airport) and it was frankly disgusting! Our menu was imposed and we had the impression that they had prepared the fridge funds for us... So much so that in the evening we preferred to go out to eat elsewhere even if we could have stayed at the hotel and eat free. The breakfast is also unworthy! It's not restocked so when we came down around 8:30 there were only a few bits of watermelon, broth, bread and a bit of cheese left. Very limited for a hotel of this standard, especially since the other hotel guests were entitled to the same buffet. We asked if they were going to refill and clearly that bothered the waitress. In short, for a service that we got for free, it's still fine, but it's clear that I won't pay to return to this hotel.
