Hotels near Ambohimanga, Antananarivo Avaradrano

I highly recommend the K.Meleon. The staff were fabulous, the hotel was great, airport pickup and drop offs went like clockwork and you could purchase all necessary meals. When my flight was cancelled due to a cyclone the staff found me a room despite having a large group booked in at the time and kept in touch with the airline to sort out when my new flight would leave. Situated very close to the airport and the staff know when all the flights come and go. A huge thank you for having me stay!!!

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.

Stayed here for two separate nights. Very convenient for Antananarivo airport (15 minutes), which is especially important when your flight has been delayed. Room was clean and had everything you need, and was the only place we stayed at in Madagascar that had powdered milk sachets in the rooms for tea. We were very glad of this as we were just so tired after our 24 hour journey that we went straight to bed without dinner. But like all Brits we were desperate for tea! So unable to rate the evening meal in the restaurant, although the breakfast buffet was excellent. Whisked off on our tour in the morning so no time to look round, really. What we saw of the grounds was pleasant and tidy and staff were helpful and friendly. Minibar fridge and hairdryer were supplied but no mosquito nets. We visited in October, though, so mosquito nets were not needed.

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

The minute you walk in the lobby, you can smell bad odors, they don't turn the AC on in the lobby...my first room, the air was broken and they knew it, it was so hot, they blamed it on the small window. Then I moved to a nice room and everything was fine. The restaurant was excellent and the indoor pool was great...

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.

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.

Highly recommended! Ask for room 26 in the annexe. We felt quite safe going in and out as there's always someone around. Our room was large, cleaned daily, light, quiet and airy with all mod cons. Big bathroom and shower. Strong aircon. Anything we asked for, we got within 30 minutes! The restaurant was superb -- people came from outside to eat and it got quite crowded. Very pleasant breakfast rooms and a beautiful shady courtyard garden. Very central-- turn right, walk 5 minutes up the hill for the park, tourist information, taxi rank, cinema, major banks and 2 supermarkets, the city centre. Lovely friendly helpful staff -- after staying for 9 nights we felt quite tearful saying goodbye! Would love to stay there again.

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.
