Apartments are spacious, clean, and practical, often praised for balconies with sea views and well-equipped kitchens. Breakfast served in-room at the guest’s chosen time was described as a positive surprise and excellent quality. The location is repeatedly noted as excellent, just steps from Anse Volbert beach and close to shops and restaurants. Staff friendliness and helpfulness received many compliments, including specific mentions of reception and cleaning staff. Free bike rentals and easy car hire arrangements add to the convenience for exploring the island. Some guests experienced issues with laundry service, reporting clothes returned not fully cleaned and stained. A few reports of occasional hot water shortages and a nearby building site causing minor disturbance. One reviewer found the proprietor’s manner somewhat stern despite professional service.

We spent four days at L‘Hirondelle and were very impressed. It is a lovely small hotel which is run with great attention to detail. The apartments are very practical, clean and quaint. The location at Cote D‘Or provides access to a number of great restaurants and bars. Highly recommended, especially as prices are modest.

The room was larger than expected and had a nice layout. The beach is directly opposite the hotel across the road and there are convenience stores and restaurants less than 5 mins away.
12.02.2026 Roving30954536669
Amazing place that we spent a week enjoying on the first floor with a view of the beach, 10 metres away from the entrance, and ocean. Room was impeccable and comes with a large balcony. Staff was superb and served a good breakfast in the room at the time we choose between 07.30-10.00. We loved it.

Clean, friendly owners and staff.
Getting your breakfast prepared in your room was a positive surprise. Perfect location, 10 meters from Anse Volbert.
19.09.2025 Florian
The location is really good, just cross the street and you are at the gorgeous beach. And also restaurants, supermarkets, food trucks etc is jus a five minutes walk away. The room is really nice and spacious and clean. The breakfast will be prepared and served at the room and is really lovely. Everybody who worked there, was so friendly, nice and helpful. At his moment is a building site behind the guest house. We got a mail where we were informed about that.

Really nice stay here. Rooms clean and spacious, great hospitality.

Editing to note that we paid for laundry service and the clothes came back not well cleaned and some with stains.

Very nice hotel on an amazing beach!

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.
27.04.2025 Guest
We stayed on the top floor in the two-bedroom apartment. Brilliant quality accommodation. Spacious with nice décor and high quality furnishings. Really comfortable. You get a bit of noise from the village but it never seemed to go late and it didn’t bother us. We also didn’t find an issue with the road as I read in a couple of reviews. Welcoming staff and nice friendly security guy. Welcome drinks and cold flannels in the fridge for our arrival which was a nice touch. This is a great place to stay on Praslin. Nowhere on Praslin is very big, that’s its charm, but Anse Volbert has a decent size village with a fair few shops and places to stay. This is just a few mins walk from L’hirondelle. We really liked Les Lauriers for dinner and Le Mer takeaway.
14.03.2025 Guest
A very beautiful apartment which a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and really like the staff at this place. Everyone is wonderful and we felt very welcome. For 25 euros , someone at the hotel did the laundry for us. The hotel is located across from the cote d or beach. There is a very nice balcony and the AC was working very well. We bought groceries at one of the two nearby markets and cooked dinner every night. We would go back. Thanks for everything
