The location itself if very central right in the heart of the Antananarivo city center which is very busy and where you are advised not to have your cellphone out of your pockets. The hotel is of great value for the price you pay, has hot water, but main concern is the internet is very slow and most of the time not working even in the main lobby. I would recommend this just for the time you need to see the city center. If staying in the city longer, move to a safer, less busier, upscale part of town.
