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.

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!

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.

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.
