Where to stay in Victoria

Everything is good. I liked everyone. Ok.

Beautiful hotel and rooms. Walkable to the only “town” on Mahe. Great beach and perfect pool. Yummy breakfast. Great relaxing spa. 35 min to airport!

The staff there are wonderful . They are very caring and nice. The food is a little bit disappointed . The beach is nice . small beach, but quite with white sand

After reading some of the reviews, I was initially hesitant to book at this hotel. I am So glad that I booked anyway. It is an amazing property with amazing restaurants and staff. The rooms are luxurious and spacious and the location is walkable to other restaurants and beach activities.

This is a beautiful property with staff that look after you very well. The food was of a good quality with a range of choices. Would full recommend.

The grounds of this hotel are beautiful, the pool area and the mountains in the background are just devine! Absolutely loved it. Large spacious rooms and ours had a lovely view of the gardens. Staff were pleasant and everything was really clean. Would visit again. Beach was also beautiful. Food was great at the japenese and trader vics.excellent cocktails

Very dated hotel. Its refurbishment is 15 years overdue. Lovely beach though. Kettle in the room had limescale and looked so bad it was vomit inducing. Wifi kept dropping. Stay there if you want a place to sleep, nothing else.

Location is great. rooms and the hotel are very tired and need a refreshing change. Breakfast is great, other services are just ok. the hotel needs some serious upgrades.

This hotel boasts an excellent location right by Beau Vallon Beach, one of Mahe's most famous. The rooms are typical for a resort, the breakfast offers a wide variety, and the service is quite professional. It's truly outstanding value for money in the Seychelles.

Very helpful staff, good cuisine, I really liked the hotel. Thank you very much to everyone for staying at this hotel.

Berjaya is a great hotel and I am very happy they were a part of my Seychelles trip! Staff here are amazing, so friendly and helpful. I arrived super early in the morning, like 6am, and instead of having me wait, they made sure to get me into a room so I could freshen up and get some must needed rest. Really appreciated that especially and strongly believe the hotel is a great value for what you get

Stayed four nights. For the price paid, the hotel falls short in some important aspects: 1) Wifi Absolutely inadequate. Consistently so slow (averaging about 1.5 Mbps on several speed tests) to be nearly unusable. Moreover, it requires login and password every time and frequently disconnects. Absolutely unsuitable to get any work done; even checking emails takes forever. 2) Staff and service Some...

Wonderful hotel. The rooms are spacious, and the bed is wide and comfortable. Each room has a veranda or a loggia. The grounds are well-maintained, and the beach is beautiful and clean. However, the wind often kicks up waves, so you might not get much swimming in. There's an excellent pool, practically Olympic-sized, so you can get a full workout in the morning before the kids arrive.

The service was excellent. Staff polite and very helpful and attentive. The amenities are excellent and in top notch condition. The restaurant has a wide range of food to suit every palate.

I spent a short stay at this 5-star hotel with my mom. Overall, the hotel itself is very nice. The room was comfortable, well designed, and had all the required amenities. The location is also excellent, which made the stay pleasant, and globally we did enjoy our time there. However, the biggest negative point of this hotel is clearly the service. Some staff members were very good and genuinely made...

The property is undoubtedly very beautiful, excellent for families with children given the large swimming pool, and the cocktails are truly good (regarding the food, perhaps something needs to be reconsidered, especially the dishes at the beach bar). However, the most perplexing issue was the musty, damp smell in the room, along with the level of cleanliness that leaves something to be desired (toilet...

Nice.. but terrible attitude from the reception stuff Not good vibes that affects the atmosphere of welcome...

It was a nice hotel. The beach was nice, the room was lovely but the hotel didn’t quite feel like the luxury of 5 stars. Some amenities needed upkeep. Although the steam room was lovely it definitely needed a clean. We also waited an hour to check in. In the hotel it is mainly families which is something to consider when booking.

Excellent location within 10min walk of many restaurants around the beach area, comfortable room, healthy breakfast and friendly staff especially the housekeeping and porter staff

The hotel is under renovation: It was very noisy the entire time, and I didn't get a good night's rest. The room was very small, and the soundproofing was so poor that I could hear my neighbor using the restroom. Location: Excellent, close to everything. Breakfast: Ok, average. Not worth the price. Highly recommended!

I love the location on the beach front. The room was large and super clean. The room rate was acceptable for my 6 nights stay. Mr. Shihan and Ms. Sakura were very help during my stay and also all the he staff. Housing keeping is great.

Half of the hotel is being renovated (noise, dust, garbage), the entrance to the dining room, the beach and the room is through a construction site, but no discounts are given in connection with this. The staff is not friendly, the room is very small and smelly, despite the recent renovation. The food is varied, but tasteless. Drinks at dinner are for an additional fee. There are no umbrellas, only...

Everything is great, we were aware of the renovation, but we luckily got a room that borders the renovation work through the wall, this is nonsense, the next day, at the request, we moved to another one further away, the noise did not cause any trouble. Excellent double-glazed windows on the balcony, but the door from the room borders the sea (we have a room in Saidom on the sea) at night the noise...

We stayed for two nights, and the room types were different. But the environment was quite comfortable, especially after the room type was upgraded, the room was brighter and fresher. The signature sea view room also had good sound insulation, and the sound of the waves and wind was very small when sleeping. I also want to thank the convenience of the Ctrip platform. The hotel is located on the beach...

This is not just a hotel; it's a state of mind. A true Heaven on Earth! I'm writing this review right now, sitting on the terrace of our villa, accompanied by the sound of the ocean. My wife is looking at me, smiling, and saying, "Tell them everything!" If you are looking not just for a vacation, but for a real journey to paradise — you have found the right place. My wife and I exchange glances every...

All good, apart from not having smart television

Amazing stay, service was great and staff were 10/10. Food and drinks were expensive especially the mini bar. Welcome reception was a good touch and made friends with staff who really went above and beyond with making sure we had everything sorted especially Susa, helped us get a visa issue sorted which wasn't part of his job but he went above and beyond for us so we could enjoy our honeymoon.

I visited ocean view bar during my recent stay in Hilton Northolme and I have to say—the highlight of my evening was the incredible service led by the bar supervisor, Jomy. From the moment we walked in, Jomy made us feel welcome and taken care of. The bar was busy, but everything ran like clockwork. Drinks were served quickly, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively without...

The room was quite satisfactory, and the food quality was good. The surrounding area is just okay; it's about a 25-minute walk to Beau Vallon Beach. At check-out, they even give you a drink voucher usable at the airport, which is nice for a quick rest.

A perfect five at a very nice price! The quality of the breakfasts is simply gorgeous! The views and the territory are simply a tropical paradise! There was an old hotel on this site, built at the beginning of the 20th century! And everything has been carefully preserved in terms of nature, beaches to this day! In the evening, flying foxes entertained us on the veranda with their chirping! In the...

My trip at L'Escale Hotels was very nice, very amazing, and truly unforgettable. I really had a nice time, even though it was only for two days. The staff was very nice,the welcome was perfect with Harif,the room was on time, big thanks goes to Melissa she take good care with us during our stay our best roommate,and I really enjoyed the restaurant staff was verry nice specially Lisa and angelique she...

Was nice but I had a request and it was not done. That was disappointing

Disappointing Stay Despite a Promising Start – L’Escale Resort Marina & Spa, Seychelles. We stayed at L’Escale Resort over Easter, hoping to create special family memories. Upon arrival, the experience began on a positive note—check-in was smooth, and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. The resort itself has an elegant, modern design and initially gave off the impression of a true luxury...

Property was amazing with super friendly staff who looked after the family extremely well. Our daughter had her 4th birthday whilst staying and the staff made her a cake and even went out of their way to get her a present and card. Super friendly staff who went above and beyond in everything they did.

Slow staff service , limited dinning options , and no direct beach access which is the main attraction for staring at any hotel or resort in Seychelles

Mission Accomplished A nice stay at a lovely resort. Bedding great AC great Linens great Wifi great Food great Service great We will be back.

My husband and I stayed at Fisherman's Cove resort for 1 day before ending our entire trip in Seychelles islands. The resort accommodated our early check-in and late check-out requests which was truly appreciative. The staff was friendly and attentive. I'd like to point out that our room though gorgeous with ocean view, wasn't very clean when we checked in. The room was equipped with an open shower...

The service was great as we arrived late night while the check in was at 3pm they let us freshen up in the gym shower and had the roo. Ready by 8am. The room had AC Issues so they.upgracwd us on last day to better room. The gala di ner was good but surprisingky even for such a high charge they charged separtely for a glass of wine. Gala party was ok not very interesting. Near beach and their Parisian...

Beautiful environment, suitable for family vacation

The facilities are old and the safety is worrying. It was too late when I checked in and I forgot to lock up my handbag separately. When I came back the next day, I found that several hundred dollars were missing. I explained it to the front desk, security personnel, hotel manager, and the general security director separately. Finally, after investigation, they said that the cleaning staff had been...

Not the best for working Not the best for working —uncomfortable chair; a bit old fashioned

WOW … What an amazing resort to stay at! We were only here for 4 days and I’m already wishing to return … but next time for a much longer stay!

The view is really nice! +Location for the view +room with balcony was big, and the balcony is worth mentioning. +Staff, they are all so nice and service-minded. Staff made this place hold together. +breakfast is included +good wifi +They have a pool -location: if you forgot something, it's not near anything. -a bit worned down. One of our rooms smelled a bit from the sauer and it stayed liked...

One of the most beautiful top hills in Seychelles. The staff takes care like family, very humble and sincere.

The hotel is on the mountain, so it is definitely not easy to drive there. The hotel has a great view and the breakfast is simple. After all, the price is not expensive, and except for the inconvenience in entering and exiting the hotel, it is generally okay.

Staff is excellent. All employees very kind and ready to help.

Honestly, this place is a 4* hotel at best but aside from the rooms just needing a bit of a cheer up, we had a great stay. The views are… BEST we saw in our time in Victoria/Mahe Island. We arrived VERY early and they let us have a room anyway as we were travelling with a toddler. The restaurant menu was great , portions vast and very tasty. The swimming pool was clean and nice too. Not the best for...

Great view and location in Mahe. The restaurant on location was very good. The bathroom shower looked to be an add on as the floor had a rubber seal to keep water out of the bathroom inside the shower curtain. The onsite pool was very nice.

Perfect view, great pool, kind and attentive manager. Very quiet and peaceful. Rent car is needed, roads are narrow but comfortable to drive , supermarket is 3 min drive. The house also have a washing machine, very convenient.

Cozy nice hill top villa equipped with all necessary cooking stuff. Good pool and good sea view from villas balcony. Host Didi very pleasant and funny

Great location with a beautiful view. Supermarket nearby. The highlight was the infinity pool.

Everything was great! Didier is a very kind owner with huge hospitality! There is a cool modern swimming pool available for guests. The room was very clean and comfortable. We recommend it a lot ❤️🙏🏼

Didier's service was absolutely fantastic! He arranged for someone to pick us up from the pier, and the next morning he personally brought us a huge platter of fruit, which is very expensive in Seychelles. The fruit was incredibly fresh. The room was spacious, with a beautiful view, and the swimming pool was gorgeous! For Mahé, where prices aren't low, this apartment offered excellent value. It's...

The hotel is located on a hill. Although the bus stop is nearby, city buses run infrequently and suitcases cannot be brought in, so I highly recommend renting a car with an international driver's license. The room was very large and comfortable. Water and other necessities are not provided, so it's best to shop in town before arriving.

This is not a 5 star property. It's a colonial style mansion with clean and spacious rooms but quite dated. Our air-conditioning was leaking, bathroom toiletries were store bought cheap variety, balcony chairs were dirty, no generator when electricity was off for half a day. However it still has its pluses- charming seating area, lovely ocean view, direct beach access and close to some of the key hot...

absolutely wonderful views from the balcony, pool and sea. The staff was friendly and really nice, Javier (I don't know how to spell it) was a lovely guy. The only downside was the pool, it wasn't cleaned the whole time we were here.

This is a delightful property with pleasant and attentive staff. The location is perfect, being directly on the beach in the middle of the beach and close to all restaurants. The room was large and clean with a wonderful veranda and view of the ocean. Breakfast was tasty. I would definitely recommend this property.

The venue was lovely. Right on the beach. Breakfast was incredible. Freshiest of fruits!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Chateau Elysium. If you are looking for a traditional hotel experience which can be very impersonal, this may not be for you, but if you are looking for a guest house, more personal experience...then this is a perfect spot. The property is set back so it feels very private. The building and grounds are very well maintained. I stayed in room 2 and had a glorious view...

Fantastic old arty furnishings

Wonderful Stay at Beau Vallon Bungalows We had a great time here! The rooms are recently renovated, very clean, and serviced daily. Breakfast was simple but tasty, with eggs, tea, coffee, fresh fruit, jam, bread, and butter. The garden is absolutely beautiful, and the location is perfect – just a minute’s walk from the beach. Highly recommended!

Nice little bungalow setup…clean, right across the street from the beach. Lush green setting, lots of flowering trees, etc. Our room was small, inexpensive, but for a few nights it’s all you need for a couple. Lizzy was very sweet, efficient, and helpful. She made us delicious breakfasts with eggs, toast, and local fruit…very good coffee, too. They are working on the WiFi…only available in lobby...

well-maintained, this hotel exceeded expectations. The room is cozy, beautifully decorated. The staff is warm and professional, ensuring a seamless stay. The sea is breathtaking, with soft sand and turquoise waters. The pool area is tranquil, offering a peaceful escape.

The hotel is located in a beautiful garden, there is a restaurant nearby, breakfast is served on the veranda of your room. Birds sing and flowers grow around. The beach is close. The room is nice and clean. On Saturdays a DJ performs in a club nearby.

Run down but close to beach Extremely basic accommodations, the room needed an overhaul, lights, fixtures, tv, electric outlets, clean up at the bathroom, new toilet water bowl, a paint job, new door and more. It was actually a lot worse than a basic motel 6. Beach access was excellent though. Personel (when there) very very nice and friendly.

Now I am choosing a destination for a summer vacation and remembered how wonderfully we had a vacation last year. An incredibly cute, cozy, quiet and cool hotel. In the evening you can see flying foxes on the territory. In the morning they bring a delicious breakfast (eggs, bacon or sausages, delicious fruits and coffee) right to your small veranda. Everything is very cozy and homey. Very nice staff...

Wow! We loved this place. Really unique. To have the back steps onto the sand and to be able to wake up and see those stunning views and watch the sunset. These were really special moments of our holiday. Spacious rooms with the biggest beds ever. We had a two bed villa. Beautiful furnishings and styling. Lovely touch that you receive a fruit platter and carafe of juice every day. Also loved that they...

Paradise again. Love this gem every time. So close to the sea. Exactly as advertised. Great staff and superb service. Would highly recommend. Nothing is too much trouble at any time. Keep up the excellent work Catherine and team. Hope to be back soon.

The apartment is perfectly located and the doors open out onto the beach, it was just as described. There was everything there you could need and the staff were brilliant Catherine was very helpful giving restaurant recommendations and advice on places to go. Every morning there was a plate of fresh fruit and jug of lime juice. It was well and truly iddyllic

This place is amazing. Period. The four suites open right onto the beach with the sand and surf on your toes when you walk out the front door. Our suite was clean and well stocked, the proprietor was kind and helpful at every turn. The location is right next to a diving center "Equinoxe Diving School" that is top notch and has great service - we did a basic dive and the owner and her staff are awesome...

A warm welcome is worth a million dollars. Cathérine is a perfect host with a heart and a smile. Also she welcomes her guests with lots of valuable information of the area. The duplex are directly on the beach and the interior is simple but lovely. A light modern beach style that makes you feel at home immediately. The rooms are cleaned daily and also towles are exchanged regularly. Guests receive...

The service and the staff were perfect, but the property needs a deep renovation.

When walking to the beach we passed this restaurant and saw it also does take away. The next day we ordered grilled fish and vegetable fried rice. The fish was tastefully, the vegetables fried rice was ok, could have more flavors. The guy who took our order was very friendly.

its a nice place to be and i love the local dish in the hotel,they have very good spa and pool close to the restaurant.its also a hotel with a garden, as well as 3 restaurants & an open-air bar. Beau Vallon, Seychelles 

It's really good experience we was lived in wharf hotel rooms and food to good especially Indian food from executive chef pradeesh he is amazing thx pls visit once thx....

The worse breakfast and service ever. Don't bother

The room was perfect. Perfect size and had everything you needed. Anton who works almost everyday was perfect. He attended to our every need and was always nice and kind to us. A flawless performance from him and the rest of the staff.

We had an extremly nice and thorough staff to help us through our stay. As we were served breakfast on the balcony each morning, had our room cleaned everyday and the staff always making sure we were not lacking anything, we felt very taken care of. Could recommend this to anyone who wants a good night sleep, good breakfast and service regarding anything. Also it's just srouns the corner from good...

One of the best places we´ve ever stayed at! The location was perfect, just a minute walk from the beach. The more than kind staff that helped with everything. The room was very nice with a balcony overseeing the lush garden. Thanks to Nirina, Anton and Madushan for making our stay a pleasant and perfect stay! Peter and Eva

Had a small family staycation which is amazing ...the staff is very friendly we have an amazing welcoming in our check in ...it's highly recommended 👌 The place is nice n tidy ...the staff is ready to help out with anything...making surprises for our kids as well ❤️♥️

If you are not interested in a 5 star hotel and instead want a simpler hotel for a cheaper price, this is it! Very nice staff. The included breakfast was great. Rooms, while it had a few lose hooks and minor faults, were large, clean and nothing wrong with them. The beds, usually the bane of my existance on vacations, were great as well. Be aware. If you search google maps for "bord mer villa", you...

Very well located hotel 2 steps from the beach of Beau Vallon. Restaurant and take away nearby. The staff is very friendly. Breakfast extra. We had a ground floor apartment with 2 bedrooms, very clean and comfortable. Payment in cash otherwise there are fees.

Very close to the beach. Safe location and clean rooms. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Minimalistic everything. We arrived 6 am on our first reservation day which had to ne paid fully. No airport pickup or drop off. Amnities are 4 towels and 3 mini shampoo bottles for 2 people. No daily room service, no toothpaste, no wellness checks. You are better off in an airbnb for the same price. On check out day, we checked out at 12 after the very inconvenient official check out of 10 am. They...

Delighted with Romance Bungalows. Very spacious room, huge walk in shower, well equipped kitchen, great location across the road from the beach and the beach shack bar. Local supermarket for provisions a very short walk away. A lovely touch to choose breakfast and have it delivered to your private patio. Minor note we would suggest providing a list in the room of breakfast options. We wouldn't hesitate...

These wonderful apartments are conveniently located in a beautiful garden near Beau Vallon Beach, with all amenities nearby. The apartment has everything you need, including a kitchen and kitchenware, making it very convenient. The room is clean, with a comfortable bed, air conditioning, fans, a safe, and a large wardrobe. I highly recommend it!

The location is very good, nearby the beach, restaurants and market. The staff is very nice and friendly!

Our second stay and not our last :) we love the friendly staff, the location near the bus stop and beach!!! We had a wonderful spacious room which was renovated(coco rouge). Kitchen with fridge, induction plate, water kettle, baking oven. Hair dryer and shampoo with extra conditioner. The WIFI-connection could be a bit better

Conveniently located, easy to explore Victoria, comfortable and spacious rooms, super flexible and helpful staff and lovely breakfast.love the tortoises ＜3

Generally, fine hotel, close to Victoria downtown and to Botanical Gardens – both reachable on foot. Hotel is clean, safe, service is very nice. Breakfast is commendable, too. For those who rent cars, there is convenient parking in the courtyard. The hotel even owns several giant tortoises, so these who wish to see these animals need not to go to other places if they want to see it. Of negatives,...

Small but very convenient to their capitol, Victoria.

Very clean, comfortable, short walk (but steep) to centre of Victoria and excellent internet, although shower pressure and temperature sometimes too low. Food options limited, but had an excellent fish curry.

The view is amazing from the upper balcony. It's a good cardio exercise the walk to and from town. Good value for money.

Stayed for 1 week on a business trip, initially I was disappointed there wasn’t a pool but truly the way this little hotel is so thoughtfully managed with care made up for it. Nothing & I mean nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff which was a absolute delight, the cleanliness is exceptional & better than I have found in high end hotels. Breakfast (we had the continental option) was fresh...

We just spent the weekend with my family at the guest house. Marianne is a great host and we had very hearty laughs during our conversations. The place is nestled in nature and we saw the biggest population of fruit bats in one tree ever. The price is quite affordable and the rooms provide comfort. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I liked everything. The hostess was hospitable, the view from the window was stunning, and there was an extra bed in the room for two. It was like being in the jungle, with birds singing everywhere and an interesting atmosphere.

My experience at Papaya was simply unforgettable. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with great warmth and hospitality. We had a spacious accommodation. The location is ideal, the house is central which allowed us to reach the spots quickly while offering a calm and relaxing setting. I highly recommend this guest house to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing getaway. It was a real favorite...

Very peaceful accommodation, 10’ from Victoria and the hosts are amazing! Jimmy arrange a tour around Mahé with a lot of hidden gems at a good price. Also Mary offered us to wash our clothes if nessecery. We had a blast!😁

Mary Anne is a very sweet and accommodating woman. I used her kitchen to make my own coffee and sat at the kitchen table to use my computer. I have odd sleeping habits and was often up at night working which was no problem. She gives you paaya from her yard.

Excellent house, silent location,friendly Jessie.Bars and restaurants by walking 20 min in the evenings..everything in Mahe worth to see is available by car within relativelly short time..what else to wish??? Only to come back again.

I stayed here for several days and found the accommodation more than adequate. My room did not have AC, but it did have a fan which actually was fairly effective despite my initial skepticism. The breakfast was excellent and filling, and the room and overall guest house are kept extremely clean. In addition, it is walking distance to the beach and has several restaurants and markets very close by...

Lovely small family guesthouse who looked after all of our requirements. Very clean rooms, well situated, fantastic breakfast. I would definitely recommend! Thank you so much for making our stay so welcoming!

The staff was very friendly,very cleaned room with beautifull garden sourounded by exotic flowers and fruit trees.A perfect place for memorable holiday and very accessible to restaurants and walking distance to the beach love love our stay there.

Really nice place to stay. Very clean, comfortable air conditioned rooms. Good breakfast and very pleasant and helpful hostess. Just a few minutes walk from Beau Vallon beach and shops. Bus stop right outside the property for trips into Victoria.

Neat clean place very close to Beau Vallon Beach.. Lovely hosts too.. Highly recommended

Just finished 9 wonderful days at Divers Lodge Guest House in Beau Vallon, Mahe, Seychelles. What a gem! My room was spacious with all the necessities: large firm bed, balcony with sea view, hot shower with great pressure, mini fridge, in room safe, toiletries and a TV. The highlight for me was the excellent breakfast which consists of local tropical fruit, house made breads, eggs, toast, crepe pancakes...

We had a wonderful stay! The place was comfortable, clean, and very welcoming. The atmosphere was perfect for families, and our little daughter even made a new friend here, which made our time even more special. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality — we truly felt at home. We would be happy to come back!

Divers Lodge is perfect! The best location, right overlooking a very quiet beach. The rooms are spacious, great WiFi and cleaned every day. What made the place really special were the staff Sonia and her team couldn’t do enough for us and the breakfast each day was excellent.

We have to agree with review of David S 1 month ago. Clean and comfortable accommodation with a terrace and a view of the sea, smiling and hardworking staff, great and rich breakfasts with an even better view of the ocean and finally the top - great swimming just a few meters in front of the house!! If we ever return to Mahé, we will definitely stay here, for sure!

Divers Lodge guesthouse is literally the best guesthouse we've stayed in so far...and we have stayed in quite a few. It is situated right on the beach, you can hear the waves lapping on the shore. The staff are amazing and very accommodating, the room was huge with all the necessary amenities, fridge, coffee, tea ,tv , air conditioning etc ...and the breakfast!!! Just wow. If we ever go back to the...
