Excellent place to stay in Mahé. The location is great. The beach is right below you and has long stretching sand and famous granite rocks. The staff was very helpful and nice. Charles is great! He can also arrange transportations/organize tours for you.

Great little hotel

Hotel staff very friendly and welcoming. We chatted to the staff every night over a beer about life on the island etc. The hotel is in a wonderful location and we had the honeymoon room with an amazing view but all rooms have a good view. We stayed in 3 hotels on the island including a 5* and I think Lazare Picault was my favourite. I loved sitting out at night, looking at the stars with the ocean stretching out below. Can't recommend highly enough.

A couple of very minor points. A car is probably worthwhile renting as the area is very quiet and if you happen to miss dinner then you don't have any food options but that's a minor inconvenience

You're there for the beach

Hotel has a fantastic view of the water and perfect for sitting out at sunset with a beer in hand. It is located in the southern part of Mahe and a distance from everything...and that is not a bad thing. The breakfast is not fantastic, but you will live. The room has no duvet or blanket, just a sheet. The room doesn't have blackout curtains so you are up by 8am. Ultimately, after 4 trips to Seychelles, you are looking for a decent place to sleep. This is the place. You go to bed by 9 PM and up by 8 AM to explore nature and play in the water. If you are looking for a resort that you don't leave, has all the amenities, and a restaurant. This is not the place. You need to pay for that and on Seychelles that is big $$$.

Downmarket, but all the facilities you need. Fantastic position overlooking the beach, good snorkling (coral and reef fish). Friendly and helpful staff. Here you experience the real Seychelles - a nature paradise with poor but friendly people.

Very Pleasantly Surprised!

My wife and I stayed a total of five nights at Lazare Picault Hotel and were pleasantly surprised by the service from the moment we arrived, to the stunning view of the bay, to the cleanliness of the rooms. Breakfasts and suppers were also superb, in fact if we ever return to Mahe we will book with them again. It is a bit out of the way, being at the other end of the Island, but bus service is very close to the hotel or if one is able to rent a car, it is well worth the stay if one is looking for a secluded spot with a lovely beach.

Fantastisk udsigt men mange trapper og dårlig seng

Personale
+ venlige og smilende

Morgenmad
Ok. Bestod af toastbrød, æg efter eget valg, ost, kødpålæg og blandet frugt samt nogle søde sager såsom crepes, banana fritters og sandkage.

Beliggenhed
+ smuk udsigt over Baie Lazare
! Obs på mange trapper, som yderligere er ekstra høje end typiske trapper i Europa

Værelse
- Seng/madras er virkelig dårlig og hård
Det er en springmadras uden topmadras, så man ligger direkte på fjedrene.
- Man har eget tekøkken men ingen ovn eller stegeblus
+ aircon
+ fantastisk udsigt
+ privatliv

Nettes, etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel

Grundsätzlich sei vorweg gesagt, dass das Hotel einfach vor ca 30 Jahren modern war! Die Dusche und die Toilette sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen, das Bett ist eher hart! Wlan gibt es leider nicht flächendecken- das soll alles in den kommenden Jahren umgesetzt werden! Familiär geführt- sehr liebevolle und bemühte Mitarbeiter, die gerne unterstützen! Der Strand und er Ausblick auf selbigen sind sogar für die Seychellen extra wunderbar! Frühstück durchaus gut, am Strand gibt es ein Restaurant, in dem gute kreolische Küche genossen werden kann!

Tolle Aussicht aber zu laut und veraltet

Als positive Punkte sind großräumige Zimmer mit toller Aussicht und das Frühstück mit viel Obst zu nennen. Negativ ist die recht laute Hauptstraße, die direkt unterhalb des Hotels führt. Die gesamte Anlage wirkt veraltet. Das Internet funktioniert nur im Lobbybereich.

Veel privacy en prachtig uitzicht

Losse apartementen met balkon en altijd uitzicht op de baai. Prima ontbijt met fruit, toast, ei, muesli, kaas, worst, koffie, thee, sap. Wifi alleen in de lobby, maar reikt ook tot aan een deel van de kamers. In de burt is niet zoveel te doen, maar de bushaltes zijn dichtbij.

Correcto en una localización encantadora

Es un lugar encantador y los servicios propios que puedes esperar de un alojamiento de 2**. Importante destacar que el hotel es incompatible para personas de movilidad reducida, ya que hay grandes escalones, rampas/desniveles, escaleras, etc... Por lo demás y teniendo en cuenta el coste de vida en Seychelles la relación precio/calidad es la correcta. Tambien podría mejorar la variedad en el desayuno. El personal cumple con su función: ni más ni menos. A tener en cuenta que en la zona no hay opciones de Restaueantes, Bares, Ocio... con lo cual será imprescindible disponer de un vehículo para moverse.
