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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wij verbleven in een appartement met zeezicht. Erg netjes en schoon allemaal. Uitzicht geweldig. Personeel erg aardig en behulpzaam.

4/10 Fair

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.

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!

Magnifique endroit

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.

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.

Tolle moderne Unterkunft. Sehr nettes Personal. Bei Fragen ist stets jemand da und hilft. Das Geschirr hätte vielleicht etwas sauberer sein können, aber wir haben es einfach nochmal abgewaschen und gut war. Herausragend war auch der Zimmerservice. Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen.

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.
