We had a wonderful stay at L'Hirondelle. The apartment was perfect, the location was fantastic, and the service was second to none. We highly recommend L'Hirondelle.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very good stay. Free parking and very good wifi. They helped us with information where to go on the island and arranged tours for us. Everyone was very nice and helpful! Good breakfast that is served in the room. Very close to the beach and in a few minutes walk there are many resturants and supermarkets. Would stay here again!

Delightful guest house fit our needs perfectly. Large family 2 parents, 4 kids. we got two rooms. Walking distance to corner grocery, restaurants, dive shop, and most importantly, Gold Coast beaches of Praslin! Just the right balance of space, nice patio, simple kitchen.

Great location, clean, comfortable

A short 3 night stay, hotel is right in front of a beautiful beach and walking distance to several ATMs, mini-markets and restaurants. Location was quite good, hotel arranges trips. There is only breakfast served to your room so lunch / dinner is either eat out or cook yourself as it is a self catering type apartment. Seychelles is quite expensive and I would say this hotel is quite reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this hotel, would suit couples, families or friends.

Great place with lovely owners and staff

L’Hirondelle was our first stay on the Seychelles and really raised the bar. Both the owners and staff were always friendly, accommodating and helpful with tips. We got the feeling that they genuinely cared about just us having an amazing stay. The hotel itself was very clean and the room was lovely with a postcard view of the ocean and palm trees. I can recommend getting the generous breakfast, which is prepared in your kitchen and served on the balcony.

Brilliant small guest house, amazing sea views

Lovely large apartment with great facilities. The balconies from the sea view rooms are amazing with very nice furniture. The kitchen is well equipped, although we mainly just walked 10 mins (out of the gate and left) to several lovely restaurants. The four poster bed is perfect and so pretty. Loved it! Would 100% recommend.

Nice department, noise from road, sandflies

Clean and nice department with beautiful view. Helpfull and friendly staff. Unfortunately a lot of noise from the road. Beach full of sandflies.

Wonderful stay

Right from the start, I felt at home at the L‘Hirondelle. The room was very clean and decorated with style and love to details. We were in a Garden Room with still a good view to the sea which I requested and appreciate a lot. The staff, including owner, cleaning ladies and night security guard were all extremely friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic as well. Right over the street you find shady places on the beach. 5-10 minutes walk to restaurants, take- aways and supermarkets. Try all the exotic fruits from the fruit stands!

Awesome location, 10m from entrance to beach. Beautiful garden and terasse/balcony to relax in. Well functioning air conditioning. Some mosquitos due to close creek. Furniture a little worn down, not very clean.

Bra gjestehus for familie. Veldig serviceminded personale. Anbefaler leiebil. gjestehuset kan ordne leiebil levert til huset rimelig. Pass på stingray på stranden utenfor. men dette gjelder mange strender.

Jättebra hotell vid stranden

Jättebra litet hotell precis vid stranden. Rent och snyggt. Lägenheterna har stora balkonger mot stranden. Köket är utrustat med allt som behövs. Affär finns en kort promenad bort. Städning sker varje dag. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka. Det enda att anmärka på är nog att om man är lång så kan nog sängen upplevas som kort.

Kan rekommendera

Läget är bra. Nära havet och ett litet samhälle med mataffären o fiskmarknad. Lägenheten är också bra och mysig med balkong mot havet. Vackra morgonen med himmel o havet innan trafiken med bussar och bilar börjar eftersom det kan vara störande. Mycket vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Maggi i receptionen är lyssnade.

Wij verbleven in een appartement met zeezicht. Erg netjes en schoon allemaal. Uitzicht geweldig. Personeel erg aardig en behulpzaam.

4/10 Fair

Trevlig personal, tråkigt läge.

Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Rummet var visserligen rent förutom vissa skrymslen t.ex i badrummet, men tyvärr ganska fult och otrivsamt. Läget på Anse Volbert trodde vi skulle vara optimalt vid den långa stranden med restauranger och butiker i närheten, men Anse Volbert är inte en strand man trivs på. Den är extremt långgrund och känns lite smutsig. Om vi skulle åka igen hade vi valt något annat, gärna närmare Anse Lazio eller Anse Georgette.

Très bel hébergement à Praslin. La cuisine est très bien équipée. Le personnel est adorable et très compétent. Nous avons eu un souci avec le toaster qui a été remplacé le jour-même par un neuf. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la proximité de la plage. Les commerces et restaurants et take away sont tout près.

Tolle moderne Unterkunft. Sehr nettes Personal. Bei Fragen ist stets jemand da und hilft. Das Geschirr hätte vielleicht etwas sauberer sein können, aber wir haben es einfach nochmal abgewaschen und gut war. Herausragend war auch der Zimmerservice. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen.

친절해요.

말도안되는 바다색을 바라보며 발코니에서 차 한잔을 마실 수 있는 숙소! 너무 만족합니다. 공항에서 아무택시나 잡아서 탔는데 그 택시안에 핸드폰을 두고 내렸는데, 택시 기사를 찾는거부터 찾을때까지 도움을 주셔서 너무나 감사했습니다. 투어에 대한 문의등 질문이 많았는데 그때 그때 친절히 대답해주셨고 방도 넓고 매우 만족스러운 숙소였습니다. 헤어질때 감사하다고 어떤 답가라도해드리고싶었는데 체크아웃할때 막상 다른분이 계시더군요~ ^^" 단점이라면 정말 작은 개미가 수천마리가있습니다. 그 어떤곳에도 없는곳이 없습니다~ ^^" 세이셸 호텔들은 조금 작은 느낌이네요 ^^" 여기도 매트리스가 짧아요. 누우면 다리가 나와서 옆으로 구부려서 자야합니다~ ^^""" 그래도 매트리스가 편한편인거같습니다. 그리고 5박있었는데, 비치타월을 한번만 교체가능하다고해서 이점은 단점같습니다~ ^^" 최소한 2일에 한번정도는 바꿔주시는게 좋지않을까~싶습니다. 주변에 마트 3곳정도 있어서 편하게 장 볼 수 있습니다.(카드 다 가능함) 바다는 바로 앞!! 투어갈때 배를 호텔 앞에서 출발 가능!! 위치상으로 매우 좋습니다. 또한, 호텔 입구가 버스정류장이라 호텔인포에서 쉬다가 버스오면 바로 탈 수 있습니다. 에어컨 잘되서 시원하고, 냉장고도 커서 요리해먹기도 매우 편리합니다.
