Rooms smell bad. Staff tries to help you but furnitures old. Gym is nice. Breakfast so so. Try pitza besides swimming pool.

Although the furniture and the decoration is a bit old, the hotel in general is very clean and quiet. Located, just at the heart of the Lower city. The breakfast is however kind of poor and it can be improved. Free wifi is working without problem. I didn't use the pool but it looks clean and well maintained as well.

Good location and lobby recently refurbished. But the rooms could be improved. And please, stop making guest pre-pay for the rooms and meals! There is a way of blocking an amount on the credit cards rather than actually debiting the card!

Warm welcome and top notch service from the entire staff. Carlton Madagascar offers all luxuries that you need to recover and enjoy the city of antananarivo or any trip you have planned.

I have stayed at nice hotels in many (many) places around the world, including many major US cities, Italy, Germany, Paris, London, Ireland, and numerous hotels in many parts of Madagascar. The Carlton is the nicest hotel in Antananarivo. Why only 3 stars then?
1. It advertises itself to be a "5-Star Hotel" to "Carlton" standards. Sorry, but I've stayed in nice Carlton hotels, and this one is not 5 stars this one is not 4 stars, but it is close - somewhere between 3.5-4.0 stars, which, in Tana, is the best you can find. The Colbert claims to be 4 stars (5 depending on who you ask there), but it is 2.0-3.0 stars max. Bottom line, I really dislike when hotels 'sell' themselves as better than they really are - it's false advertising and not appreciated by travelers who get somewhere and are then disappointed.
2. The restaurant is sub-par. I have eaten at the restaurant for numerous meals, over many years (I travel here annually for work). The restaurant has always been a last-resort choice of mine. The food is prepared well, but the menu is small and quite lacking - there are not many 'normal' food choices that would appeal to the masses. They have an English menu, but food choices are odd and unique. Poor selection. The breakfast buffet has a decent selection, but at 39,000 Ariary, it's just not worth the price. To emphasize my point, this year, I brought some food with me (canned soup/pasta, instant oatmeal, etc.) - I love good food and the money is no issue I have been eating my canned food rather than eating at the restaurant. However, not to worry if you stay here, because the restaurant at the Colbert Hotel is much better with more options, and just around the corner from the Colbert Hotel is the Nerone (Italian Restaurant - owned and operated by a bone-fide Italian man - he is a friend of mine and an excellent host). The Nerone is my favorite restaurant in all of Tana.
Pros: the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, the hot water is consistent (which is not the case anywhere else in Tana - especially at the Colbert), the bathroom is more like a nice US bathroom than any other hotel in Tana, the bed is a real mattress (unlike the solid foam pad you will encounter at all other hotels - including the Colbert), the high-speed internet in the room is fast (fast enough to steam video in fact) and consistent (not the case anywhere else - including the Colbert, where the in-room internet is slow and inconsistent, and in some rooms just no available at all). The view is fabulous (not that I care much about that, but some do, so trust that it's great). The in-room heat/A/C is great (the Colbert's in room climate control is primitive and poor quality - if it even works). If you have your own car, there is plenty of free private parking and 24 hour security both in and outside the hotel.
Cons: it is not close (walking) to any major shopping areas - you will need to take a taxi. The in-hotel shops are extremely over-priced - don't buy anything at the hotel - go to the local artist shopping areas and local mall(s) instead. Restaurant is lacking in good "normal" food choices and has a limited selection in general (one night they also served me stale bread not impressive).
All that being said, I will stay here from now on because it's the best hotel in Tana. But don't be expecting 5-star accommodations.response / report this review -

Stay away from Casino inside of Carlton Hotel!
They not just cheating on costumers by setting up illegal limits on bits - they can easily beat you up in the face, offend your women or friends and be unpunished!
None of country in the world, I have not seen such rudeness and mayhem from the casino manager.
How come the government let happened such an open form of racism by foreign nationals in relation to their own citizens! It's just a shame!
