Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit einer tollen Lage! Das Personal war super freundlich! In den Zimmern war alles, was man braucht, dazu waren sie sehr sauber. Viele Take aways in kurzer Zeit zu Fuß zu erreichen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Super charmante Unterkunft. Ich wurde mit einem Willkommensdrink begrüsst und durfte schon etwas früher einchecken. Ein Regenschirm und Strandtuch wird zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Frühstück (gegen Aufpreis) wird liebevoll zubereitet und auf dem Balkon serviert. Die Einrichtung hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Das Zimmer ist sehr grosszügig und man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Es wird täglich blitzblank geputzt, das Bett liebevoll gemacht und die Räume mit Blumen dekoriert. Bushaltestelle ist direkt vor der Haustür. Supermarkt 2min zu Fuss entfernt. Dort gibt es auch einen Takeaway mit leckeren Currys. Nach dem Checkout stehen einem noch eine Dusch mit frischen Handtüchern und eine Toilette zur Verfügung. So kann man nochmals einen entspannten Strandtag geniessen. Für den Strand muss man nur die Strasse überqueren und ist schon da.

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!
