Reviews for Colibri Hotel
Review 1:Room a bit smallish with little space for luggage, no air-con (there are other rooms with air-con, though) On a rainy day that's fine.
Review 2:Excellent location near the jetty, lovely tropical garden, great view from the room over the bayy, friendly staff.
Review 3:In Baie St Anne you can t find supermarkets, only local ones, neither u can find a restaurant opened until late in the evening. Nevertheless In Cote D 'or there are restaurants, one of the best actually, Piroque( great service and food at acceptable prices) and supermarkets where u can find souvernirs at lower prices.
Review 4:Good view offered by the little houses which are on hill.
Review 5:Too many insects in everywhere.
Review 6:Hotel is very near to jetty and room is very antique style. it is made by wood. you can relax comfortably. also snorknling spot is very nice to enjoy.
Review 7:The pillows smelled musty and the Internet wasn't great.
Review 8:The set dinner option was amazing value and were the best meals we had whilst in the Seychelles. Staff was friendly. The deluxe rooms had an incredible view.
Review 9:Rustic and proximity with nature is nice but it also comes with little creatures like lizards or spiders visiting the house unexpectedly. The facilities need a bit of refresh
Review 10:Very friendly staff, beautiful garden, rustic style, good food, pool, magnificent views
Review 11:No standard amenities provided on room, no drinking water provided on room, same breakfast offering everyday, WiFi only connect one device at a time
Review 12:Great sea view, Near to Praslin jetty, free pick up and drop off to jetty(Just ask from hotel), Nice infinity pool even though it's small, nice small restaurant, Good for calm and peaceful holiday, Good paid WiFi
Review 13:The optional dinner is good quality but its price (25 EUR for 3 courses) is a bit sharp compared to the quantity served... The rooms are rather small for the price - but nice.
Review 14:The view from the room is really beautiful. The premises of the places are very nice with its tropical garden. Located close to the jetty. We were no aware but there is a free shuttle from the jetty (used it when we left). Breakfast is good. There is a small but clean pool with plenty of sunchaiirs
Review 15:No private beach It was very difficult to find the hotel No hot water in the morning
Review 16:Hotel is very close to jetty Staff is very friendly and helpful Food was very good
Review 17:Great view overlooking the jetty. Great pool. Snorkelling in front of the hotel was average; rather plan an excursion. Very close to shops and bus stop to get around as well as shops. Dinner at the hotel was great.
Review 18:We were lucky enough to be upgraded to Room 5 for our anniversary, which overlooked the infinity pool and the bay. The management made it special for us. Dinner and breakfast were excellent and the view is great.
Review 19:-as everyone mentions : the terrible internet experience...and the very clear explanation of Sylvie about how Colibri itself is victim of the only internet provider on the island doesn't really constitute an excuse : You can be victim of a bad & expensive service...it's not a reason to transfer that negative experience to the customers. To make things worse, besides the constantly disconnecting internet network, the system doesn't even remember the password...so each time you need re-type over and over a complicated password and username. To balance things up, after our complaint (internet barely worked in our 3 days there), Sylvie kindly accepted not to charge us for internet. So this has not ruined our experience there. -The lack of AC in our room. There was only a fan which didn't help much because it was just blowing hot wind (april weather). I think for price charged (130 € per night), AC should be mandatory (right after that we stayed in a small and cheaper guest house on La Digue island which had AC as it was also the case for our rental on Mahe Island). AC should be the standard for a place like Colibri. -Lack of international plug in our room upon arrival but this was solved the second day after we reported the issue. Again Stephen showed strong concern. -If outside compound is just so nice and pleasant, inside the room could be more modern...
Review 20:-The Location (perfect for snorkeling in situ and sightseeing around also) -The lush vegetation in the compound -The kind Owners : Stephen was quite concerned about our well being and even gave free extra help after my friend was injured by a Sea Urchin in Ilot St Pierre -the car Rental company which can deliver car directly at hotel -the super kind and helpfull hostess and staff (from Philippines) at Restaurant -The very good food in the restaurant (we ate there every night) -The nice breakfast and the great view from the restaurant
Review 21:Nothing. Everything was as close to perfection you can get
Review 22:A perfect gem... Geuine, friendly, quiet,close to the jetty and absolutely breathtaking beautiful! After having spent a lot of time on several of the other islands as well, we were united in the belief that this is probably the best place to stay in all of the Seychelles.
Review 23:The stay was amazing. The owners Stephen and sylvi were awesome helped us with everything and were very kind would definitely recommend every honeymooner to stay there. The jettys right there the bus stop close by and the super market too. To snorkel: It's rich in front of your room. Cheers!
Review 24:Breakfast could use some improvement. Wifi works well, but for the room price they could include it for free.
Review 25:The view over the bay is very nice, and the room is quite comfortable. Excellent staff, smiling and helpful. Close to the jetty.
Review 26:Discomfort bed, no AC the room we stayed, lighting is not sufficient inside the room, spider and lizards at room. Wifi should be free
Review 27:Staffs, hospitality and food
Review 28:The rooms are quite a bit outdated. There is no soap or shampoo, you have to bring/buy your own. The hotel doesn't have any snorkeling gear, beach towels, etc. All the little things that keep customers happy doesn't happen at this hotel. The only reason I'm giving this place a 7.5 is for that view from your room (if you have a sea-view) - Its magical !!!
Review 29:The best part of this place is its view from the balcony if you have a sea view villa. I can sit on that balcony for a week and just look at the beautiful view and the islands in the distance.
Review 30:Internet is paying 20 e for 5 days..and only one telphone or lap top can use inernet in a moment..too complicate..
Review 31:Perfect view, room,service,location,for me they are the best hotel in all seychelles,for that money,and they are allways smilling
Review 32:- Doesn't have a kitchen/bar that operates the entire day. No room service either. This can quickly become bothersome considering everything else on Praslin is 30 euros away by taxi :)
Review 33:- Staff is thoughtful, caring and friendly- Beautiful rooms and views - Good food (vegetarian and otherwise) - Lots of privacy and supremely laid back vibe - Right next to the jetty
Review 34:Restaurant is open only for dinner, that too with set menu which is very expensive. No nice restaurants around, Organibar is a nearby takeaway place but opening times are not reliable. Paid wifi - the place is pretty expensive, so would expect at least free wifi! Large undulating compound; having to walk around it - Should provide bicycles :)
Review 35:Beautiful compound, room and view Bay access Close to Jetty and bus stop Restaurant staff Feeding birds during breakfast! Dinner was great though expensive!
Review 36:Paid wifi No shampoo On-site Construction at the time of our stay Smiling but not caring staff
Review 37:Easy to get to with Cat Cocos Nice snorkeling just in front of your bedroom Quiet atmosphere Small but nice pool Easy to get a pick up from Octopus Divers Good food
Review 38:it doesn't provide free WIFI, the lights in the room aren't bright. the windows in our room is quite windy, feels cold during the night.
Review 39:locates near the jetty, and there is a shortcut from jetty to the hotel. staff is friendly and helpful. the view is perfect, and the design is wonderful, the decoration for the room is beautiful. Breakfast is OK, we even got a free dinner for two people as we booked via Booking.com. It's a wonderful stay for us.
Review 40:Evening meals were on the expensive side, though very nice.
Review 41:Stunning location, overlooking Baie Ste. Anne. Nice breakfast included in the price. Great snorkelling right in front of the room.
Review 42:We'll located for jetty, not many restaurants etc around other than hotel restaurant. As we prefer to eat out and explore the area we had to take it in turns to drive each night to Cote D'Or or Grand Anse
Review 43:Unique, romantic buildings Gorgeous views Very helpful staff Lovely pool area Great breakfasts with eggs cooked to your liking with bacon and a hash brown
Review 44:We didn´t get in touch beforehand to ask for a pickup from the jetty. No hard feelings, walking is fine so no real negative point, but make sure to contact the accommodation to ask for pickup.
Review 45:Beautiful location on walking (uphill!) from the jetty so no need to take taxi. Owners even offer free pickup from jetty if you request. The staff is amazingly friendly and more than willing to help out with anything you might need (car rental, excursions, etc). Breakfast is of high quality! The owners are most friendly and do everything to make their guests at ease. We were dropped off by Stephan himself to take the jetty upon checkout. Also, if paid in cash for your stay, you receive an invitation for dinner (€25 a person). Food is prepared with care. The views from the room and the tropical garden are breathtaking.
Review 46:There is no direct beach near the hotel better have a car to go easily to beach. Apart from small bugs and lezards that could slip into the room nothing negatif to say. So just go there and enjoy amazing Praslin :)!!!
Review 47:The staff was very kind always with a smile and very helpfull. my bride and I had a great time staying there for our honeymoon. the room was clean and ordered with care every thin.

Review 68:They could improve the breakfast a bit.
Review 69:very good location to explore the islands. Friendly helpfull staff.
Review 70:Location was ok since we stayed only 3 days. It is close to ferry, however far from the main street with restaurants etc. since busses do not run after about 7pm by taxi to get there is pricey.
Review 71:A couple which is running the hotel is very nice and the serving staff as well. Very clean apartments.
Review 72:Set in lovely gardens this is a wonderful little hotel with amazing views of the bay. The service was fantastic throughout, the staff were very helpful with organizing our various activities. The restaurant strikes a great balance with good food, a cosy environment and great cocktails! A perfect romantic get-away.
Review 73:The price for sea view and garden view standard rooms are the same but there is a large different between room with sea view and garden view. Room with sea view has own terrace. So I recommend to hotel set different prices. Towels were exchanged to new one very rarely.
Review 74:There are many birds who live in trees around the hotel. Window view is very beautiful.
Review 75:We loved this hotel. The location was perfect; the staff so friendly and helpful and the rooms beautifully located on the hillside with a view to die for.
Review 76:Wifi is accessible only in the reception,restaurant and pool only. And you have to pay for the wifi.

Review 78:haven't found
Review 79:We find an real paradise at the bay. The room we stayed is quite near with the sea and I can enjoy the sun rise and colourful sea view.When sitting at the balcony at morning, I could take a deeply breath that I haven't had in noisy city.The friendly staff ,tasty breakfast and perfectly clean environment made us best impression.
Review 80:nothing.. stay in this hotel if you go to praslin !!
Review 81:The location is amazing, the hotel as the perfect size. i stay in the room call Kato, just love it, amazing view, its very near the jetty.the staff is very nice, special thanks to the philipino couple in the rest and the south african manager !!
Review 82:Nothing!
Review 83:Our room (Colibri 5) was amazing. The views on the garden and the sea, the private terrace, privacy and tranquility, comfy bed... just perfect! The restaurant above the sea is just the perfect place as well for brealfast and dinner. Food is simple but tasty and the staff super friendly! Greatly recommanded
Review 84:A bit less breakfast, but special orders are accepted. The coffee is just as bad as anywhere else on the island (honorable exceptions)
Review 85:After the arrival, the smaller deficiencies of our room have been remedied with a larger and more spacious room, which we could keep all week long. The holel staff - even the management of the hotel - are helpful and direct. Easy car rental, you get the vehicle at the reception, where you can leave it too.. Great creol kitchen. Close to the boat station, which is not disturbing at all, however is very practical in case of trips.
Review 86:This place is a paradise: the position is awesome with a stunning view on the bay. The garden is plenty of colorful flowers and plants. The staff is very kind. The bungalow is perfectly clean. The restaurant offers breakfast with tasty home-made marmalade and dinner with typical dishes. Finally there are two beaches to do snorkelling.
Review 87:wifi connection only at the reception and in the restaurant/pool area.
Review 88:very nice place, wellcoming staff, very clean, good food, close to the jetty. would stay again at Colibri.
Review 89:We loved our stay here, but if I had to mention something it would be the smell from the roof(?) at our room. It was made of leaves or something and I think that smelled a little bit. My wife didn't seem to matter...
Review 90:Great view from the room! Good location (near the jetty). We didn't rent a car but we used the buses to get around the island (the buses go pretty often from the jetty). Great staff, especially at the restaurant (...Liz and Jack I think). The restaurant prepared really good vegetarian food in the evenings for us. It was worth the price (20 €). We also stayed on Mahe in a hotell with the same price, but this hotell (and island) was much better!
Review 91:Problems weren't
Review 92:Very good hotel. It is located on the hill in 5 minutes on foot from port from where It is possible to reach La Dig and Mahe Very beautiful view of a bay, magnificent declines. In 10 minutes by bus it is possible to reach to Cot dor beach
Review 93:The rooms are dark, no wifi in the room, only at the reception, is slowand costs a leg (seven euros per hour).
Review 94:Close to the jetty, the bus, the garden was exquisite, the food fasquite good. We could keep our room intil 4pm with no extra charge.
Review 95:Nothing everything was perfect!!!
Review 96:Really relaxing location, with the most beautiful view of la digue island. Silvie and all the staff are friendly and always available to make your holidays the best one.
Review 97:Having to pay half of the cost in cash rather than by card. It caused alittle inconvience as I was not expecting this and then having to drawout cash which is limited to how much can be taken out each day. Lucky Ihad cards with me!!!!
Review 98:We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and the food was excellent. Iwould recommed to anyone staying there not to bother going outside toeat as the value and food were excellent.
Review 99:We were impressed by the hospitality and care of the staf and owners of that hotel. We enjoyed our huge room in colonial style with huge bed with marvelous ungorgetable view to the ocean. The location was also a big plus - just by the jetty - easy to go to other islands (for example to La Digue only 10 min).
