The hotel is well situated, between the old and new town and within walking distance of most sights. it felt very safe as there were staff sat at the entrance all day and night. My room was across the road from the reception/restaurant, up a rather murky alleyway. The room was clean and spacious, but the furnishings were very basic,... More

The rooms are charming and the food is 2nd to none! We have been to Madagascar twice for a total of 6 weeks and have eaten at many restaurants. The hotel restaurant here is probably one of the best, if not the best in Tana. The rooms we stayed in were cozy and charming, air conditioned(necessary much of the time... More

I was in Tana for a group tour but came a few days early (because that was the date the airline gave me for a frequent flyer flight) and stayed at La Ribaudiere for 4 nights. I was very happy there. Yes, the room was a tad small, but that doesn't bother me at all. It was clean, it was... More

Stayed at this hotel on a short business trip to Antananarivo. Booked through booking.com, and that worked perfectly. The rooms at La Ribaudiere are fairly basic, but very clean, and with all the essentials. Beds were comfortable (I was in a twin) and there is a good satellite TV system. Very good for Francophones, but at least BBC World was... More

Breakfast is extra but a step above the usual 'continental' and pitched v well with fruit, toast, coffee etc. Rooms are simplle but more than... More

We stayed here for a total of three nights over a few weeks during our trip to Madagascar. The hotel overall is very tidy, bathrooms and bedrooms are quite small but have everything that you might need in them. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has excellent food for a very reasonable price and a good selection... More

This is a great little hidden hotel, the rooms were comfortable... food is best in Tana and the staff were very accommodating. I would stay here again every time. Only concern was we had a Tv with no sound... but no need for TV when you're on holidays. Location is central but lucky this place is concealed from all the... More

We stayed here on two separate occasions in May 2012. Upon arrival we instantly felt at home, the hotel is tucked away nicely in a quiet street. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and spoke reasonable English or at least understood our poor attempts at French. The rooms are excellent, one of the few places we stayed with hot...
