The Hotell has a quite high standard, and the surrounding in the close proximity to the hotell is quite safe during daytime. We got ill after eating at the restaurant, but if you don’t travel frequently to Madagascar, I suggest you use the opportunity to loose some pounds and stay away from all food anyway, you will get sick no matter how careful you are. At least bring everything you can find of medicine, you will need it. If you travel as a tourist, stay away from the capital. There is nothing to see there, and it’s not safe. If you still go, do not go out of the hotell after dark, or actually, don’t go out. Always hire a driver, you don’t want to be stuck in a taxi in the middle of the city.
