The hotel staff were great. Kind and friendly and most spoke English, so that was very helpful for me. The room was great. Only complaint was the shower doors were grinding on the floor when opening and closing, so it made a loud screetch everytime. My view from the room was spectacular. There are some bars and restaurants close by. I felt safe the whole time walking alone at night, but it is through some dark and dirty streets with the homeless around. But this might not be a good option for women traveling alone and wanting to walk everywhere. However, i felt really safe.
This hotel has 6-star service! Tahiana, the receptionist, was very helpful, truly accommodating, and sincerely friendly. Keep up the good work!

Great view, great location, average stay
Beautiful hotel in a central location. Within walking distance to everything. Staff are friendly and accommodating. But my stay could be better. The room had too many cockroaches for my comfort level. And the bed lacked a top sheet, the one that goes on top of the fitted sheet and beneath the duvet. If the hotel paid a bit more attention to detail, it would be above average.
A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Antananarivo
This was my second stay at this incredible boutique hotel, and once again, it did not disappoint. The rooms are spotless, the ambiance is stylish yet cozy, and the breathtaking rooftop bar offers stunning 360-degree views of downtown Antananarivo, an absolute must-see at sunset.
The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, effortlessly communicating in both English and French, which made the experience even more seamless and enjoyable. The hotel is ideally located next to one of the best dessert shops and a fantastic French restaurant, making it perfect for food lovers.
If you’re looking for charm, comfort, and convenience all in one, this is hands down one of the best boutique hotels in Madagascar. I can’t wait to return!
This hotel exceeded my expectations. It was very clean, great atmosphere and the staff were beyond amazing, very friendly and helpful. I specifically booked this hotel because of the view and i was NOT disappointed, it was amazing to say the least. The rooftop patio was gorgeous and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for an affordable, clean, and great atmosphere.
This was the best hotel we stayed at in our month long trip in Madagascar. We were either jet lagged, or about to travel whenever we were in Tana and this hotel was comfortable and easy. It is at the top of the hill with a nice view and a rooftop bar. There are a few bars and restaurants in walking distance as well. Their prices are a bit high, so we walked next door for breakfast and went out for dinner. But wow, to have a nice shower and wifi is incredible.

Hôtel Urban oui mais grand non
Belle hôtel bien situé mais mal agencé… il manque une direction
Ett hotell bra beläget men fin utsikt över staden. Vi bokade sviten men tyvärr såg den inte ut som på bild. Balkongen som på bild hade loungemöbler hade endast ett bord med två plaststolar vilket gjorde att vi inte kunde använda det som önskat. Vi hade ändå bokat sviten då det var vår smekmånad så detta var tråkigt, bör vi poängterade detta vid utcheckning och ville ha kompensation så de att de inte kunde göra något åt det och att vi skulle sagt till tidigare. Är tveksam om det hade gjort något skillnad då balkongen väl har det möblemang som det har. I övrigt är vi nöjda. Alla kunde inte så bra engelska som jobbade för vilket gör det svårt att kommunicera med vissa.
Hotel muy bueno. Habitación muy bien. Dos terrazas muy agradables. Por fin un hotel estupendo en Madagascar. Al nivel de un buen hotel 4 estrellas de Europa
Hôtel bien implanté avec une belle vue sur la ville d'Antananarivo. Personnel très aimable. Tout était bien.

El hotel está bien en rasgos generales, pero el Director nos ga tratado fatal. Contratamos dos habitaciones por el mismo precio y una era con la ducha casi encima del vater, se anegaba todo, un desastre. Y se negó a cambiárnosla argumentando que habíamos contratado habitaciones malas, desde cuando un hotel considera que tiene habitaciones malas. Y además pagamos lo mismo por las dos habitaciones de 18 metros y claramente una de ellas no estaba a la altura. Además al tercer día nos dejó sin agua caliente por una avería y nos hizo recoger todas las maletas y todas las cosas para llevarnos a otra habitación igual, a pesar de haber sufrido su avería y ese día ducharnos con agua fría. En fin, lo de este director es para escribir un libro. No merece la pena dedicarle más tiempo. Lo mejor Ives, que siempre nos atendió con amabilidad y en general el personal del hotel.
As a solo female, I found the area to be a bit worrisome to go out and about. Although most staff spoke English, the lady that checked me in had limited language skills and that prevented me from getting a guide through the hotel. The elevator did not work, which was an issue with my luggage. The restaurant was nice and the staff was helpful. The outside area was nice.
This is a modern, clean, French-style boutique hotel at a great location. However, when we checked in, the front desk gave us the wrong room which turned out to be an occupied room. They quickly switched us back to a different room. But this time we noticed that the window was opened and there were about 100 mosquitoes on the ceiling, so my husband had to call them to switch our room. We were told that they were sold out for the night for our room type, but they were able to let us stay a different room for the night until they resolve the problem the next day. We were pleased with their way of handling the situation and thought their service was good. Overall I would say this is a great hotel in Madagascar and is trying hard to keep up with the international high-end hotel standard. The only thing we didn't like too much was there were too many staff working or standing at the front desk and restaurant during the day, which made us feel quite uncomfortable while having breakfast. Otherwise, I would recommend anyone to stay here during their visit in Tana.
