Due to missing our main flight from Mahe International Airport, as the weather conditions delayed our island hopper plane from Praslin. At 22:00hrs at night we were in desperate need of a place to stay. Luckily Hotel La Roussette managed to get us in. We got a taxi from the taxi rank at the airport for 500rupees and headed literally 10-12mins to the hotel. Once we arrived as it was tipping it down with rain we were greeted with pure kindness handed a warm dry towel and quickly shown to our room. We were in the hotel for a matter of hours before catching our next flight. However, the room was clean and tidy. Perfectly working air-conditioning unit. The shower was very good. It was dark when we arrived however our room overlooked the swimming pool in which was beautifully lit up. The towel decor at the end of the bed made me smile after a rather hectic time trying to book flights. Also felt incredibly safe in the complex. Big tip, think twice about booking a holiday in rainy season dec-Feb. Fortunately we were there from the middle of November the weather was incredible. As soon a December came so did the rain! Thank you once again for helping our in a time of need 🥰

We stayed in La Rousette 12 days in March 2024 and we can confirm, it is definitely not just the way to airport. Their very friendly and helpful staff will help you with anything you need and even more. Hotel has all day open restaurant and bar just for the guests, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here is very nice and quiet garden with nice pool and sunchairs for your use all long day and afternoon. Rooms are recently renovated, spacious and very clean, with terrace and tea - coffee corner, small fridge. Hotel is located in the middle of the Mahe island, so whenever you want to go, everything is nearby. Here is big parking area, but also bus stop nearby. Tickets available close in Anse Aux Pins bus station. Very close you can visit Anse Aux Pins beach, where you can see local life and chat with locals. Beach is calm and shallow, incoming tide with more clear water in afternoons. Trees with shady places closeby. Market is also very close and also few restaurants and take aways. They even found a way to offer us late check out on the day we had to leave! Big big thank you for that!!!! Finally - even if its not fancy beach resort, it is beautiful quiet spot in Seychelles with superb people and airport is quite close to you both coming and leaving... We really warmly recommend!!!

“HOTEL LA ROUSSETTE, HAVEN OF REST AND TRANQUILITY.”

Three years ago my husband and I discovered this wonderful little Mahe Gem! It's only a few minutes drive from the airport and yet it's blissfully quiet.

Three years ago my husband and I discovered this wonderful little Mahe Gem! It's only a few minutes drive from the airport and yet it's blissfully quiet. Thank you Linda for being the perfect hostess to two weary elderly South Africans aged 95 and 80, whose departure day in Cape Town commenced at 4am! After two flights, a wait in Johannesburg, a late arrival and a 10pm exit from Mahe airport, what a joy it was to find your delicious late night snack, tea and coffee, a spotless room, a lovely hot shower and a most comfortable bed just waiting for us to crash! There was Lea, your delightful Filipino helper staying up late to welcome us back so warmly. Hotel La Roussette is fast becoming like a second home to us after 3 perfect stays.Thank you Lin for arranging for your faithful and punctual taxi driver, Anthony to meet us again.It is always such a comfort seeing his friendly face in the Arrivals hall. He has become such a cheerful welcoming new friend to us that he no longer needs to wave his Welcome placard in our direction! He happily shouldered all our luggage and allowed us time to withdraw Seychelles rupees at an airport ATM. After a wonderfully refreshing sleep and a relaxing start to Monday morning, we enjoyed a delicious full English breakfast served by your two charming helpers from the Philippines before being transported by Anthony back to the airport for our 20 minute flight to Praslin in the little Twin Otter de Havilland just after lunch. We highly recommend this charming little Haven for all late night arrivals who need to recharge their batteries before embarking on the Seychelles holiday of a life time. Hotel La Roussette is a real Winner!

“Farewell La Roussette! Appreciation ”

This hotel was an exquisite find about 10 years ago near the airport. It is impeccably clean, comfortable and was always our final relaxing location before flying out of the Seychelles. It's inexpensive and is value-added for the rates charged. The rooms are spacious with wonderful showers that is just what is needed after arriving from the islands before the departure flight. New staff member at reception, Mr Rajesh from India was incredible. His attentive service, welcome, and action responses were much appreciated. It is suffice to express a degree of sadness after about 10 years of memories as the stopover before flying out. New management has excluded a day rate that is understandable as it's their prerogative to determine the schedule of stays and charges. It does not make economic sense to pay for 2 nights, that is the night before and next day in order to secure a day room. Furthermore, a revised itinerary with a few days on the island of Mahe at other hotels is the way forward as farewell with appreciation is expressed.
