Don't stay here if you need wifi. Good location, friendly staff, good hot water, good shower, full kitchen, comfortable bed. Purified water provided. The room has A/C, although it is undersized for the space. Wifi went from none to terrible (15 minutes for a page to load) to occasionally good. HDMI input in TV doesn't work. As for the area: Beautiful beaches, walkable to restaurants. Terrible humidity and mosquitos. None of the restaurants on the island have enclosed dining with A/C to keep the mosquitos out.

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!

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!

The staff were lovely, the accommodation was only and clean however, it's just too noisey. Spent 3 days tired due to lack of sleep. The noise from outside, either people shouting, loud music from cars. Not really the hotels fault but had I known before booking I would have stayed somewhere more quiet as I'm a light sleeper. Hope this helps someone.

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.

Aktuell befindet sich eine Baustelle nebenan, so dass ab 8 Uhr geringfĂŒgig BaulĂ€rm zu hören ist, uns hat es jedoch nicht gestört. Ab und zu gab es auch kurzweilig mal 2 StromausfĂ€lle und kaltes Wasser, ist wahrscheinlich auch auf die Baustelle zurĂŒckzufĂŒhren. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Zimmer wurde tĂ€glich hergerichtet und das optional verfĂŒgbare FrĂŒhstĂŒck, was direkt im Zimmer zubereitet wurde, war lecker und bestand aus RĂŒhreier oder Spiegeleier, 2 Toastscheiben, Marmeladen, Butter, KĂ€se, etwas SĂŒĂŸem (KuchenstĂŒck/GepĂ€ck) und frischer Obstvariation. Dazu gab es dann Kaffee oder Tee fĂŒr insgesamt 15€. Im Zimmer hat uns ausstattungsmĂ€ĂŸig nur eine richtige Kaffeemaschine gefehlt, jedoch war alternativ ein mechanischer Kaffeesieb vorhanden. Die unteren Zimmer sind leider nicht sichtgeschĂŒtzt und der anliegende Garten wurde auch als Durchgang genutzt, so dass man die VorhĂ€nge zuziehen musste, um seine PrivatsphĂ€re zu wahren. Die Appartments sind nah am wunderschönen weiten Strand gelegen, das Meer war sogar leicht in Zimmer zuhören. Am Strand gibt es leider nicht so viele schattige PlĂ€tze, so dass man entweder frĂŒh aufstehen (10 Uhr am Strand war ausreichend) oder selbst mit Sonnenschirm dafĂŒr sorgen muss. Kleine SupermĂ€rkte und Restaurants bzw. kostengĂŒnstige Takeaways sind gut fusslĂ€ufig in der NĂ€he erreichbar.

Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft grundsĂ€tzlich sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und stets bemĂŒht gewesen. Die Wohnung war schön geschnitten, sehr sauber und es wurde tĂ€glich gereinigt. Das Einzige, was aus unserer Sicht (EuropĂ€er) negativ war, ist, dass das Wasser zum Duschen an drei von fĂŒnf Tagen kalt kam (nicht einmal lauwarm) und der Wasserdruck in der Dusche, sobald wir auf heiß gedreht haben, kaum mehr vorhanden war.
