A spacious and clean and fully equipped apartment awaited us. Even a washing machine was there which came to use several times. Violett (the front desk supervisor) is a tremendous asset with all her knowledge, helpfulness and friendliness. The location in Baie St Anne is convenient when travelling by ferry but the nearest beach is several kilometers away and there are not very many places to eat at nearby. The famous Jennies bakery is right in the building though! We did not rent a car but most buses stop just outside the hotel. As we left the hotel was temporarily closing down for re-construction but based on the current relation between price and standard the value for money is excellent!

We visited Seychelles after 5 years and again opted to stay at Old School Apartments. Our experience was great with nicely set up apartments for self catering and a great coffee and food shop right below. The team at the apartment is great and always helpful.

Nice self catering apartment. The aircon in both rooms was really good for nice cool night's rest and definitely stronger than at some more luxury places which is great for Seychelles heat. Kitchen had everything needed to make some food. Location is short drive from jetty for boat from Mahe. Also rented a car from accomodation which was convenient to get around and big parking right next to apartment building. The place was clean and quite big and generally quiet.

It was very easy to communicate with the hotel staff and they answered all questions before the visit and during, they even booked a car for us which was very convenient. The room was also nice and had everything you need. Some of the appliances and dishes were a little dirty. However, overall a nice place to stay and close to everything.

Walkable location to the ferry, very clean and spacious. Hot water and cold AC. Wifi was stable, not enough for downloads though. Staff was so helpful. Stasia arranged for a taxi daily, gave food recommendations and even coordinated my bookings for me. Stasia was always so quick to respond. There is a cafe under the apartments and several spots nearby to walk to. I will definitely share the word.

Great place, clean, nice staff, conveniently located above a breakfast place, mini market is nearby. It may seem close to the port but it’s actually like a 20 minutes walk slightly uphill.

The Old School Self Catering is an amazing price / quality stay on the beautiful island of Praslin. It is conveniently located close to the jetty where you can take the ferry to the other islands. Moreover, the accommodation is situated above the best coffee shop on the island. The rooms are spacious and very (very!) clean. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to other travellers.

The property is huge, well equipped and has amazing air conditioning. The staff in reception are very polite and helpful. When reception was closed I didnt know how to get in touch (one of the ac units stopped working on a sunday afternoon). The location is great for buses and close to the jetty, but there's not much in the immediate area. I would definitely stay there again.

This was our first experience of a self-catering apartment, and we weren't disappointed. Located near to the BSA Jetty, this place was quite comfortable (both in stay and from travelling point of view). The catering manager arranged a taxi for us from the airport a week before our stay. If anyone is looking to have an experience of managing their own stuff, like buying from near-by grocery store, cook the food themselves and enjoy their time, this is a must visit. Quite different experience from a hotel. The breakfast was repetitive, but the croissants served were quite tasty.
