We spent two nights before our sailing trip around the archipelago at La Roussette and one night after. For our purpose, we couldn't have chosen better.
Rooms are in bungalows around two small courtyards filled with beautiful tropical greenery, with flowers blossoming, birds singing, Mary the Cat overseeing her territory, and occasionally the neighbour's dog visiting. One courtyard features a miniature swimming pool - just to cool down; for long-distance swimming, take a one-minute walk to the ocean, there is a beautiful beach shaded by coconut palms across the road. The rooms are spacious and cheerful. The decor of the rooms and of other spaces is blissfully simple and very tasteful. The whole place was immaculately clean when we stayed there. Food was very good (we visited off-season, so only had a set menu, but we were very satisfied.) There are a few small shops with all necessities within a short walking distance. Buses to Victoria stop nearby; the airport is a few minutes away by taxi.
The best thing about the place are the people - cheerful, friendly and helpful staff who made our visit a real pleasure.
Not Recommended For: conceited snobs.
Highly Recommendeed For: anyone looking for a friendly and pleasant place to stay.

Service was ok but the room was full of bugs (even the bed) that we could't sleep all night...
I would not recommend nor the restaurant nor, absolutely, the room!

We have been on Seychelles already several times with my family.
I truly consider them as the most beautiful tropical islands in the world.

Amongst our previous visits we have been staying several times at Hotel La Roussette, which I think is one of the best Guest houses on Mahe island.
The hotel has convenient location (close to Mahe international airport) as well as cozy and good-value-for-money accommodation.

It is just a step away of the ocean and you may rent small car at the reception.

My wife and I visited Seychelles last year and enjoyed Mahe Island very much. During the two weeks holiday, we stayed at Hotel La Roussette not far from the international Airport. We were very satisfied with the service provided and fascinating Creole dishes in the evening. We visited various sites on Mahe Island and also visited the neighbouring islands Praslin and La Dique. This guest house is simply unique; it’s clean, central and offers great value for money. It even has its own car hire. We are planning to visit Seychelles again beginning of next year to visit other outer islands together with our 3 children. We will definitely stay at Hotel La Roussette again.
