The location is very good, and we could see the Queen’s Palace directly from our room. The food at the restaurant was surprisingly good, the service was excellent, and the room was spacious and comfortable.

The restaurant is serving incredibly tasty and beautifully presented French cuisine. Dinner and breakfast were both outstanding. Highly recommended. We walked in the area also after sunset and it did not feel unsafe. There is a night guard in the street leading to the hotel. Small cozy, homestay-kind of hotel.

“Small, beautiful hotel with excellent kitchen and outstanding staff”
Three beautiful rooms with expansive views over the lake and up to the Queen's Castle, set over a wide patio serving excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had a small medical emergency unrelated to the hotel, and were astonished by the concern, kindness and support of all the staff, for which we are very grateful.

“A hotel with a soul and the best food in Tana”
A very small hotel with an amazing view to the city! We felt very welcome there. And specifically I would like to mention the food: it is incredible! I still think about that dinner!

“A gem”
Rarely I give a 10. I couldn’t find a single issue about this property . It s a stunning historical building, the 3 rooms are exceptional, bed is comfortable, shower is great and the view breathtaking. We enjoyed the terrace . The French owner is lovely and the restaurant ..OMG, just perfect, especially the Sunday buffet. Staff are super friendly , we can just highly recommend and we are going to be back in 3 weeks!

“Beautiful view of the lake and the Queen's Palace”
The best part of the Citizen is the food. We had breakfast and dinner. Unbeatable, excellent. The staff is friendly, especially the boss. We had everything we needed in the room. The air conditioning is key, as the temperatures are low at night in winter (air conditioning for heating, so let's be clear :). There is a warm radiator in the bathroom.

“Great rest after flight and superb food, very welcome atmosphere”
Best fit for the people arriving to Antananarivo - you are very welcomed, the food at dinner and wines selection is high-class, while great value for money. It is exceptionally calm inside the rooms, the bathroom is spacious and clean with large shower area, and the breakfast is fantastic. Overall very nice hosts and staff, you can ask for things to be arranged your way, and get it. Perfect location to go by taxi to Rova the main sight of the city, and walk back down stopping by lunch at one of the restaurants.

“My view of this hotel is reflected in the fact that I stayed here on 3 separate occasions during my time in Madagascar”
Excellent boutique hotel ( only 3 or 4 rooms) in good location with very good restaurant. I stayed in 2 different rooms on the nights I stayed here and they were both very good. Friendly helpful staff.
