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.

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.

Well - located accommodation near all restaurants and shops and next to the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful ( helping with renting of car, taxi, recommendations). During the Covid 19 situation our breakfast was prepared directly in our room by staff with the facemask which was really comfortable and really tasty. Even the road in front of the guesthouse was not noisy.

We spend excellent days during our honeymoon journey here. The room was very clean and romantic. We found everything we need. The fantastic sandy beach was in front of the house. Our host - Emilia took care of us, organized everything we wished as in fairytale...

Nice accommodation on Praslin with good location. Even though L'Hirondelle is self-catering, it felt more like a hotel in many ways. Breakfast (which is optional) was prepared in our own kitchen and served on our balcony - a new, but really convenient experience. The welcome drinks and amenities in the kitchen and bathroom were all things that we did not expect and have pleasantly surprised us. The staff were friendly and helpful (including organizing excursions). The room and building were nicely maintained.

Very central location and view of the sea is amazing. Clean apartment. Only negative is that the living space and bathroom is open with only slatted doors to the outside eg: no windows to close meaning that the mosquitos/insects get in to apartment making sitting in the lounge uncomfortable on an evening and risk been bitten whilst using the bathroom. Fortunately the bedroom has windows and solid doors which keeps out the insects.

Good location , large room
A lovely apartment, great location across the road from the beach and a short walk from the "village". Having come from sleepy La Digue the road was very busy and noisy at times especially on Saturday night into the small hours ,handy though that the local bus stop was outside the front door . In comparison to the other two properties we stayed in we felt that it was a little overpriced for self catering accommodation and that breakfast should be included in the price paid. The biggest disappointment was that the management decided to change our air conditioning unit on our last evening . Why any property would choose to do this at 5pm when guests are returning from days out is very puzzling . We were offered another room but since we were leaving the next day it would have been too much upheaval to move . The most alarming point however was the fact that despite having been lectured on security and to make sure everything was in the safe and doors were locked ....the door was left unlocked by the staff after they had finished their work and we were out for dinner . Very disappointed and irritated at the lack of respect for our security . It was a shame as otherwise the positives outweigh the negatives.

Absolutely wonderful,we had room 4 which is one the first floor furthest left on the photograph and the view to the beach is amazing. There is a small supermarket nearby and several beach restaurants but best of all the beach just across the road is the best we have ever seen!!! We will return

Excellent choice for staying in Cote D'or. When booking I had a concern that it was close to the road but very little traffic after 10 pm and good sound insulation - slept well. Right across from the beach and all anenities nearby.

Right in Cote D'Or if that's what you want!
With a beach and bus stop outside, ATM 30 m away and restaurants very close by it has great accessibility. However, you do need to be aware that there is a very busy/active small road just outside your room. If you are a people watcher (take a top floor, room 7 was ours, and fill your boots) this is amazing; if you seek solitude then not. Fotunately the double glazed extremely well air conditioned bedroom is in the back and sleep is excellent on a very comfortable bed.

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!

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.
