Hotel berhampiran Nosy Mangabe Special Reserve, Antananarivo Avaradrano

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.

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.

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!!

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)

The hotel is situated in a very secured area with nearby restaurants, park, boutiques, grocery, and convenience stare. Receptionists are very welcoming, and the interior of each room is really cozy. T'was one of my best hotel stays so far.

We stayed here twice with a few days in between. Our first stay was great! The rooms are lovely, spacious and clean. The restaurant was closed but the outside bar served nice food (only 2 veggie options), though a little noisy and cold (they gave us blankets when we asked). Our second stay was awful! We had two rooms booked, but they said we only had one. We had to wait several hours in reception for this to be sorted with no apology from staff. When we came to check out, they said they hasn’t received the money from lastminute.com and asked us to pay again. I showed proof of payment, but they said they didn’t have it so wanted me to pay. I refused! They asked me to call lastminute.com to sort out the payment transfer to them. I explained that everything on my end was complete and that they could sort it out with the tour operator not me. Also on our second stay the food was terrible - the zebu fillet was completely inedible. When we told the staff they didn’t even acknowledge this problem.
