10/10 Excellent

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.
Darryl, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Boutique place. Very clean and comfortable. Across the road from a beautiful beach. Cleaned the room every day. You can get take away from a lot of places near by and eat in the AC. Really enjoy our stay.
ziv, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Marc, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Scott, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Thomas, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

10/10 Excellent

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!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit guter Lage. Bushaltestelle direkt vor der Haustür. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und take aways fussläufig in unter 5 min erreichbar. Man ist in einer Minute zu Fuß am Strand, der wirklich wunderschön ist. Der Service war hervorragend.

Vi hade en fantastisk vistelse! Underbar balkong med utsikt över stranden. Frukost lagades av personalen och åts på balkongen. Bra tips och service från den mycket trevliga ägarinnan!

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.

10/10 Excellent

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.
Linnea, 3-night trip

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.
Anastasia, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

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.

Magnifique résidence à 10 m d’une des plus belle plage de l’île. Possibilité de louer une voiture, excursions et petit déjeuner. Proche du centre ville avec de bons restaurants. Je recommande.

10/10 Excellent

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.
