Guest Reviews

• Glenn (6/5): - Dårlig wifi. Hard seng. Lite AC kjøling
• Severine (10/5): - Hotel très propre, sur une petite plage pleine de charme. Personnel extrêmement attentionné, qui nous a laissé la chambre jusqu'au départ en fin d'après midi à l'aéroport : top ! Petit déjeuner de qualité et copieux.
• fernando prieto (10/5): - Beautiful hotel in Mahe. Nice staff.
• Thomas (10/5): Fantastic stay a crown beach! - Best service we have ever gotten at a hotel! Excelent staff, super service minded and helpfull. Makes you feel like part of the family! Fine location, if you take the bus you can se the hole island. Theres at bus stop just outside the hotel. The restaurant is great, we had many meals there and all of them was of great quality! If tou’re going to Mahe, this place is a grest palce to stay!
• Mirko (8/5): - Sehr ruhig gelegen, ideal für Honeymooner. Personal überaus hilfsbereit und freundlich. Zimmer top ausgestattet und Betten sehr bequem. Restaurant okay, Alternativen gibt es keine in unmittelbarer Nähe, nur einen Supermarkt. Der Strand ist traumhaft schön, doch das Wasser eignet sich nicht wirklich zum Schwimmen, selbst bei Flut.
• Björn (10/5): Perfekt retreat - Very nice hotel with an excellent location right on the beach.
• Roland (6/5): Man könnte etwas daraus machen - Ein Hotel in wunderbarer Lage. Leider kein wirklich professionelles Personal. Hatten Zimmer im Neubau. Von der Größe entsprach dieses eher der Zimmergröße eines europäischen Businesshotels. Zimmer (vor allem Badezimmer) war eher sehr funktionell ausgestattet. Qualität des Restaurants war ok. Es gibt ausreichend Möglichkeiten, im Umkreis von 5 km sehr gut zu essen.
• Alexander (10/5): - Seychelles is an expensive destination and this hotel was a real find - medium-priced, charming and right on the beach. The staff were superb - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. The food was not elaborate, but was tasty, plentiful and good value. The hotel is right on the beach and some of the tables for dining are outside, beside the sand. There is also a pool. We did not rent a car, and just outside the hotel there are bus-stops for the iconic blue public buses, which tear around and have high ridership. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return to Crown Beach if we visit Seychelles again.
• Mike (10/5): Excellent - The location is great it’s right on the beach. Not close to the party scene but if you want tranquility this is the spot for you. You basically have your own private beach. Do rent a car as things are further away. Having a car makes this hotel great as you can explore but don’t have to stay with all of the other tourists
• Debra (10/5): - A bit far from Victoria, which meant renting a car, taxi or public transportation. The public bus was an experience every traveller should do at least once. It is efficient but a wild ride! Taxi’s expensive. The staff at crown beach did their very best at suggesting tours and those which allowed hotel pick up. The restaurant was good but expensive. We would actually return as it was quiet ,on the beach and staff impeccable especially John!
• Marston (10/5): - Staff very welcoming and very tidy hotel , really enjoyed our stay there.
• nicolas (10/5): Thank you Crown Beach !!!!!! - We stayed at the Crown Beach for our honeymoon, it is a peaceful, tranquil place with a few nicely set rooms. The head host Miss Alice is amazing and surrounded by a very capable and friendly team with notable mentions to Tapas, Babu and Jon and the lovely lady in reception. These people will go ou of their way to make your stay a great stay. Thank to you guys. Nicolas & Louise
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Crown Beach is on the water and a great place to go beachcombing. The staff are excellent -- John, Tapas, Alice -- they all help make our stay in the Seychelles a wonderful vacation. Will definitely recommend staying here.
• Zahi (10/5): - Overall very good Friendly staff and willing to help Great place next to the beach
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Zimmer im Dachgeschoß bietet hervorragenden Blick auf Strand und Berge, ist aber imm er heiß! In der Summe empfehlenswert.
• Verified traveler (8/5): good hotel on Mahé east coast - Good hotel near Anse Royale. Not a 4* though but a good 3.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Comfort with a view - The hotel and staff were exceptionally courteous, friendly, and very helpful. Food was good, and the rooms very excellent. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to swim on the beach at the hotel due to rough sand and broken shells. Also low tide was very low for swimming. However, a very nice beach was available a short walk away.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Avkoppling - Lugn och behaglig plats. Möjlighet att vandra i timmar längs stranden vid lågvatten.
• Tipoa (4/5): - The overall impression of this small boutique hotel has been ruined by a dreadful internet service. The Seychelles as a whole has poor internet, but the 3G does work reasonably well, and WIFI elsewhere on the island is useable. However, here at the Crown Beach Villa it is off more often than on and the speeds when on, are woefully slow. If internet is not important to you, then you should be very pleased with the hotel location, nestled in a tropical private corner of the bay, right on the beach. Great sunrises. A small pool and various sun loungers are also available. The food is good and the breakfast includes fruit, toast and cooked food. The staff are helpful and will arrange car hire ( approx 40 euros per day) or taxis. A small supermarket and cafe are just across the road, as is the bus stop, for the bus that goes into Victoria via the airport. Recommend you buy a 4G SIM card on arrival at the airport. The food/drinks inside the hotel are a little expensive.
• Verified traveler (2/5): セイシェルでの不快な思いをしたホテル - シャワーの水が茶色い。コンセントが壊れたまま。シャワーの水がバスルーム全体に漏れてくる。車を呼ぶのが遅い(お抱えの運転手のみを使用するため、この運転手が手配できない際、時間がかかる)。こちらのホテルへの要望、コメントに対し、ホテルの選択の仕方が悪い、自社は皆から高く評価されているので全く問題ない、と宿泊客を非難さえするコメントで応答するなど、接客姿勢に疑問を感じる。非常に不快な思いをした。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Personnel très sympathique, patronne avenante et amicale et établissement extrêmement bien tenu et très agréable
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful views; wonderful service; reasonable room rate! Short drives to snorkel sites and lunch cafes. Breakfast included. Small market 50 meters walking distance.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Well worth the money! Right on the ocean, brilliant staff, awesome manager and close to some cool restaurants! Received a complimentary bottle of champagne on Valentines Day!
• FRANCK (10/5): - Endroit paradisiaque avec chambre vue sur Ocean
• Mario (8/5): Romantisch, ruhig, in erholsamer und schöner Lage - Schöner Garten, kleiner Pool, sauberer quasi eigener Strand, allerdings zum Strandlaufen nur ein paar hundert Meter, da er durch ein privates Grundstück begrenzt wird. Ein Riff weit draussen bewirkt ein tiefer Wasserstand. Schnorcheln bei Flut gut, schwimmen bei Ebbe weniger, da teilweise felsiger untergrund. Badeschuhe mitnehmen. Schildkröten kommen nachts zum Eierablegen! Abends keine Unterhaltung. Bushaltestelle und kleiner Supermarkt vor dem Hotel. Sonst keine anderen Alternativen zum Hotel. Grosse Zimmer. Dekorative Architektur des Gebäudes. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und uns erholt. Empfehlenswert für Paare.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The beach experience is great. Service is excellent
• valerie (10/5): - hotel tres eau avec des uites uniors vue mer du lit et baignoire avec vue mer. Hotel a recommander
• Sarath (10/5): - A Super Hotel Everything about Crown Beach Hotel was great! We got in very early in the morning and were immediately given our room. The biggest attraction of this hotel is its super efficient and most friendly staff! The hotelʼs GM, Alice, is one of a kind, who always went out of her way to assist us. Special mention must also be made of Anifa and Romney at the front desk and Tapas in the restaurant. There were many others who were also very helpful to us. The front desk helped us to rent a car, make arrangements for an excursion, getting taxis to and from the airport and always gave us super advice on where to go, things to do and where to eat!!! They were able to get us good rates on taxis and the car rental. We would strongly advice everyone to rent a car when visiting Seychelles - taxis are expensive, public transport ok but not the best and driving around is so very easy. The hotel has its own secluded beachfront and we went for swims at the sea by the hotel every day. The breakfast at the hotel is quite adequate and the food served at other times ok. There are many nice restaurants in the area to go to, for which having a car is almost a must! We highly recommend a full day excursion to Preslin and La Digue islands. Also there are some fabulous beaches in Mahé, Beau Vallon and Port Launay being the best. We highly recommend Crown Beach Hotel to everyone, a small, homely and classy hotel!!!
• Todd (10/5): Small hotel, great service, great value - The Crown Beach hotel is an incredible value in Seychelles. The level of service, comfort, beautiful beach and wonderful restaurant make this a great option for a smaller hotel. It is located off the main road that runs along the island. If you have a mountain view, you will hear cars driving by at night. For a more quiet setting, choose an oceanview. The staff at Crown Beach was one of the best I have experienced at a hotel. They all went out of their way to be helpful. There is a lot offered for breakfast, made fresh such as any type of eggs you want and crepe pancakes. The dinners were of high quality fresh fish, and affordable ($40 USD/per person). I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a smaller hotel on Mahe at an affordable price. Note - this is Seychelles...don't expect super-fast wifi.
• Sébastien (10/5): Paradisiaque ! - Un cadre idyllique, des chambres décorées avec goût, un personnel très agréable et à l’écoute de vos moindres désirs, si vous désirez vous déconnecter et vous ressourcer, laisser vous aller dans ce petit paradis au bord de l’ocean idéalement situé à 15mn de l’aéroport. Notre séjour fut délicieux merci à toute l’équipe !
• Clive (10/5): Perfect boutique hotel - Location, location, location. Wonderful, clean, small hotel right on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles. The hotel staff were amazingly accommodating and went out of their way to make it an unforgettable experience. The manager drove us to a nearby village, the owner drove us around Mahe Island and everyone was friendly and had a smile on their face.
• Lisa (6/5): Price/ value not OK - beach not really usable - We, as a couple (32 and 38) spent one week in Crown Beach Hotel in September 2017. To summarize, we expected more for the price. The beach was not really usable, because strange people around making us feel uncomfortable. We did not swim at this ocean front once, because of stones and coral and flat water most of the day. Beaches at the other side of Mahe are much better. It seemed we are the only guests in the hotel most days which made the atmosphere somehow strange. We had the Junior Suite with sea view which was kind of nice, especially the great view from the shower. But the room had still not the superior quality we expected for the price. Instead of breakfast buffet we could therefore only order breakfast a la carte. However, breakfast was good/ OK and restaurant staff was really friendly. It was only sad that in the breakfast price of 20€ not even the Cappucino was included (plus 5 € per Cappucino). Customer service at the reception was not really professional or friendly or helpful at all. We thought, the hotel has overall potential, but currently not used yet.
• Gary (10/5): Slap bang on the beach - Great food, great staff, great value for money. Rental car an advantage but now essential as there's a bus stop opposite.
• Hamad (8/5): Nice and excellent beach view - Very nice and clean hotel, very good view from the room. One bad thing, Wifi is charged extra, which isn't a nice feeling. Good and helpful staff !
• marie france (10/5): hotel romantique trés calme - Hotel récent très agréable qui change des grands complexes, au bord de la plage. Personnel souriant et à nos petits soins. Restaurant correct à prix abordable. Nous avons eu un problème malheureusement une nuit coupe circuit donc plus d'électricite, ils ont très bien réagi tout de suite en nous trouvant une chambre au Méridien qui était bien sur super.Ah ,j'oubliais super petit déjeuner. Merci beaucoup.
• Dave (8/5): On the beach and reasonable price - It was overall a good stay. Enjoyed the location on the beach with thick trees to provide shade from the sun. The beach is quiet and lovely although this is not really a swimming beach. Good for younger kids however. Staff were attentive and very accomodative to our infant. Breakfast was good and quick in the morning. Pool is small but was perfect. This is not hotel specific but if you come to Seychelles. Rent a car for a few days. Taxis are ridiculous priced and buses are irregular in their timing. The staff arranged for a rental quickly and the price/service were great.
• EMMANUEL (8/5): PETOT PARADIS SUR LA PLAGE - DIRECTE SUR UNE PLAGE PARADISIAQUE
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfektes Hotel für den Aufenthalt auf Mahe. Zimmer sind hervorragend. Persönlicher Fair auf Grund der geringen Zimmeranzahl.
• Igor (10/5): Nice small hotel. Beach very nice. - Nice holiday. Pleasant view on a sea. Beach good for photos.
• Stephanie (8/5): Wonderful view! - The hotel is wonderful with large rooms, a pool, and private beach. The hotel is near a grocery store but nothing else, a car is required. The food options at the hotel during the day are not much but dinner is pretty good. If you are looking for a wonderful hotel with a beautiful view, private beach and friendly staff to just relax for a while this is a great place.
• mickdesa (8/5): bon emplacement sur tout point de vue - très bon accueil. chaleureux. personnel aux petits soins. l'accès direct à la plage est vraiment le plus de l'hôtel.
• Magnus (10/5): Very pleasant, friendly and quiet hotel. - We found it a great base to explore Mahe. Food in hotel was good and ocean view from hotel room was stunning.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very friendly hotel - Great way to explore the south of mahe (nicest part of the island). ask the reception to book you a car and you have a perfect location to explore the island.
• mavis (10/5): lovely hotel on the beach - I had two rooms on the second floor one prior to my cruise the other on my return.They were both sea view with big balconies.The view was spectacular a touch of PARADISE. What is more one could have a bath or a shower with the view still visable without being seen ! The rooms were large, furnishings to a high standard,bathrooms luxurious.Only draw back there was no lift .Staff saw to luggage but the price paid for those views was six flights of stairs! Having said that to get the best out of this Hotel a sea view is a must.Opposite the Hotel there is a mini-market selling everything.Breakfast was good ,lunch did not seem to be catered for as such and the a la carte menu was expensive.Hence a bottle of wine baguette and cheese bought from the mini-market on my balcony enjoying the view was lunch for me, knife loaned from the hotel. A fridge was supplied in each room.Whilst there is a Villa under construction next to the Hotel this does not interfere with the enjoyment of the Hotel and surroundings.
