Superb boutique hotel in an exceptional location, litterally on the beach of Beau Vallon. Just cross the garden with the pool, open the gate, and you are on the beach, 20 meters from the water at 30 °C ! Very friendly and at the same time discreet staff. Each morning, our room was cleaned up while we were hzvbing breakfast. We had a Deluxe Ocean View room which was really large, with large ensuite bathroom and nice terrace. There are only 7 rooms in the hotel (plus some in the adjacent villas), so you really feel more like in a luxurious guesthouse than in a hotel. We had diner buffet one night in the hotel, which was really good. Everything is made locally in the open kitchen. There are lots of places to dine out on the beachfront of Beau Vallon, for all budgets.

Not much to say, actually. Maybe the Wifi could be a little stronger in the room, but really not a big deal.

- right at the beach - not over crowded - close to grocery stores and restaurants - very clean - furniture is beautiful - swimming pool is pristine

- more like an AirBnB with a caretaker - one type of breakfast daily (make sure you ask for cheese and meats otherwise they will not serve it for you) - no TV’s in the rooms - no minibar

- Location, beach and closeness to restaurants and bars - Hotel setup, pool, room look and size, balcony towards the ocean - The deputy manager was lovely

- Bathroom situation, just a thin curtain offering no privacy whatsoever. Nice bathtub, probably best for a couple, as long as you do not mind peeing with smb else in the room. - Windows in the room towards the corridor with the light always on. - No toiletries, a hodge-podge of varying bottles, sizes, looks, quite cheap for the feel of the hotel - No milk or sugar left for the 2 capsules of coffee left each day. No tea or other drinks besides one bottle of water that was not filled every day - Cleaning schedule - while we were still in and out of the room so we were constantly in each other’s way - Internet although it working well the first couple of days was very unstable

The villa was charming. It was the only one of its kind in the area and many tourists walking along the beach stopped to take pictures of it. The feeling of the 30s of the 20th century - with old but very well saved furniture, old photographs, interior items. Good size, clean pool. Great breakfast. Very pleasant villa owner. We had a late flight and were kindly allowed to stay in the villa territory until the evening. We had a very pleasant stay at this villa and if we ever come back to Mahe, Seychelles, we will definitely choose this beautiful place!

Nothing.

The building from the outside and the location right next to the beach are perfect. It is a perfect place for sundowns. The pool is huge and the view from the terrace is also really nice. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They offered us a nice taxi driver and contact for car rental with delivery at the hotel.

Unfortunately the building is not taking care of. Our bed was falling apart and was really soft. A new mattress would be great. For a five star rating the amenities in the bathroom were really cheap and there was almost no water pressure in the shower so that the rain shower was useless. This place could be such a perfect place if someone would renovate it with passion. Everything is just a bit outdated and outworn. The AC in the middle of the room was really loud at night so that we couldn’t sleep.

Just a footstep away from the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and the local market.

The see through curtain dividing the room from the bathroom, no door to separate then, and the lack of a TV set or even a radio.

Location is more than perfect, just to steps to the most of the bars and restaurants, the property its amazing and the staff also, Mr.Petr he helped us with early check in . Overall i like it and i give it 8/10

The only 2 things why i rated this stay 8/10 is the AC, we faced some issues regarding the AC it was cooling but also it was leaking sometimes and the fan is so noisy, the second thing its the bed and the mattress, its not comfortable and the mattress its so slim which will you will not feel comfortable. These are only the 2 things and i hope they will fix it cause we definitely gonna go back there .

This place feels like visiting your family summer house. It feels so cozy and home-like that you can easily accept its sometimes old furniture or bathroom. The breakfast was very basic (eggs, yogurt and vegetables). Rooms were cleaned. AC was working properly. Location is outstanding. The garden opens into the ocean, you may walk there barefooted before breakfast. Water and the beach are superb.

As mentioned – some of the furniture in the room is somewhat old. So is bathroom (with a very noisy fan).

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Chateau Elysium during the Seychelles Maritime Week, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made me feel welcome and at home. The property itself is stunning, with beautifully designed rooms that offer breathtaking views of the lush surroundings and the ocean. Each morning, I was treated to a spectacular sunrise that set the perfect tone for the day. The amenities at Chateau Elysium were top-notch. I particularly enjoyed the tranquil pool area, which provided a perfect escape after busy days filled with maritime activities. Location-wise, Chateau Elysium is conveniently situated, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and beaches. Whether you want to relax on the sandy shores or engage in water sports, everything is just a stone's throw away. Overall, my stay at Chateau Elysium exceeded my expectations. The combination of luxurious accommodations, attentive service, and beautiful surroundings made it the ideal retreat during my time in Seychelles. I can’t wait to return!

Location Swimming pool By the beach Breakfast Large room

Several facilities in the room were not repaired. The safe didn’t work The curtains are heavy and transparent to light in the morning.are stuck and not moving. There is NESPRESSO machine but not anything else like tea suger and milk. They serve you if you ask. With a little improve this can become a 5 star boutique hotel - now it is not value the money due mainly the room maintenance
