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!

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.

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.

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!

Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft grundsätzlich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und stets bemüht gewesen. Die Wohnung war schön geschnitten, sehr sauber und es wurde täglich gereinigt. Das Einzige, was aus unserer Sicht (Europäer) negativ war, ist, dass das Wasser zum Duschen an drei von fünf Tagen kalt kam (nicht einmal lauwarm) und der Wasserdruck in der Dusche, sobald wir auf heiß gedreht haben, kaum mehr vorhanden war.

Super dejligt værelse med smuk udsigt over stranden. Skønt personale der gjorde vores ferie bedre. Vi ville dog gerne have vidst at området er meget uroligt/larmende med biler der ræser frem og tilbage med høj musik. Der er mange stoffer i området og der købes/sælges ret åbenlyst, selv i supermarkeder. Vi købte en bådtur (gennem hotellet) hvor den ene ansatte på båden var så fuld og skæv at han ikke kunne tale til sidst, ej heller stå op.
