Chez Lorna 5 nights minimum

Property was fantastic with huge patio and views of the ocean, islands and windmills. Main bedroom has A/C and living room/kitchen has big fan. Steep hill to walk from main road but very happy at the main road junction was a good-size supermarket. With public bus service ending every day at 7 pm, it's good to have a supermarket there to buy groceries to cook dinner in the apartment. Owners Theodore and Lorna were extremely nice and charming.

We had a superb stay at Chez Lorna. From the moment we booked, the hosts were in contact via Whatsapp to offer information and advice for our trip and they were always responsive and available to answer our questions. Although they were away during our stay, other members of the family were available at the adjoining property to welcome us and offer tips for our stay. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable with a good kitchen and lovely outdoor terrace area with great views of the bay below. Although there isn't a dedicated parking spot, there is plenty of space to park in the street outside and we never had trouble finding a space. The area is residential and we really enjoyed being in a local neighbourhood, especially since we visited over Christmas and could see and hear neighbours as they prepared to celebrate. At the end of the street is a well stocked mini market, but there isn't really anything to walk to in the area in terms of tourist attractions. This suited us well as a family with small kids since we had a hire car anyway - I would say a car is essential if staying here since buses are not very frequent. Overall we were very happy to stay at Chez Lorna and would definitely book again.

I did the booking and after 5 min had to cancel it due to unforeseen reasons. The owners would not shift, or refund and were quite rude.

The property is next to the town with no traffic jam, from the shared small balcony there is a beautiful view, the rooms are not expensive and the rental period is minimum one week. To get to the property there is a very hard ascend, all the rooms except one don't see the sun, the shared kitchen is not clean as it should be, the owner sends a lot of WhatsApp messages where some of them are unpleasant, their services are very limited.

Wonderful stay and a wonderful host Lorna who’d always find the time to help advise and assist. The atmosphere at this place is very friendly and towards the guests. Thanks Madam Lorna 😊

un repos paisible , avec un vent agréable après une journée dans la chaleur de Victoria des hôtes charmants

Chez Lorna is at Quincy village which is about 10mins drive from Victoria - the city capital. Here in Mahe everything is just a few distance drive from Chez Lorna making it a place to stay. At this hotel apartment, everything ranging from view to physical touch is just a breathtaking. Lorna and Theo are just exceptional beings, taking time to educate and assist their guest. It was unbelievable the amount of energy these 2 people have. Perfect people for each other. They both ensured that our visit was seamless and did encourage us to sail across the Indian Ocean. That was something I would never dream of doing on my own, thanks to The duo. As time is always very short when it comes visiting a place like this, I know I have more reasons to visit again and Chez Lorna will be my host once more.

It wasn't easy to contact the owner or the staff when checking in. There's no front desk and I had to call the mobile number which I had gotten beforehand by calling the property several times. But even it was really hard to reach.

Chez Lorna is a few minute walk away from a bus stop. It’s also near Victoria so the location is quite central. The hosts Lorna herself and Theo were very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this property.

Lorna is great, and for the Seychelles this place is really cheap. I've stayed here before and will stay here again.

The hostess is very friendly and helpful. Not far away from the international airport so it’s handy for backpackers like me who don’t want to spend much time on commute and overcharged.

Very friendly and helpful owner. The cheapest place in the Seychelles, but everything is very nice. I've stayed here before and will stay here again.

Very handy guest house for the Victoria Ferry Port and one of the better properties within fairly easy reach of the airport.

Beim Chez Lorna handelt es sich um ein Guesthouse, in dem man im alten Zimmer des Sohnes übernachtet. Man ist also mitten im Geschehen. Das hat einerseits Vorteile, da es sich sehr heimelig anfühlt; andererseits hat man aber relativ wenig Privatsphäre. Die Familie sucht das Gespräch, will mit einem gemeinsam frühstücken und erwartet allgemein ein eher familiäres Miteinander. Wer das will, wird wunschlos glücklich sein!

This property is very homey. The care taker and house host, Chuka, is a gem. He makes sure anything you need is made available. He organizes exclusions, taxis, does laundry, and I have seen him feed guests whose personal eating preference can't be met elsewhere. My exoetinxe and accommodation at Chex Lorna was exceptional

Abbiamo dormito una notte di passaggio nella struttura. Si trova in zona periferica difficile da raggiungere a piedi, è necessaria una macchina anche perché nei dintorni non c’è nessun servizio (ristoranti o negozi) e comunque lontana dalle spiagge.piu che una camera era un appartamento spazioso e con uso cucina, comunque pulito. Wifi scarso per utilizzarlo era necessario andare in Giardino. Un po’ complesso il check in in quanto bisognava concordare telefonicamente l’ora di arrivo, in ogni caso i proprietari molto gentili e disponibili.

This is a beautiful place with nice rooms and good accessibility to Victoria and the rest of the island. However it is more of a homestay with anything else, so the relationship with the owners becomes central. The male host needs to lay off the invasive questions about where I'm from, who I'm with, where my name came from, etc. Also there is constant scrutiny of the A/C usage and there is very little bedding provided, only sheets. I left my room at 8 pm trying to find some kind of bed covering and after 15 minutes came across the very upset male host telling me that of course I need a bed covering if my room is kept at "ice box" temperatures. I had the A/C set to the exact same temperature as it was when I checked in, 25 celsius. It is unreasonable to deny people bedding in the hopes that they will let the room cook to 30 degrees so that they save a few cents on the power bill. Also problematic was the departure. I asked the night before for a taxi departing for the airport at 1 pm. Owners said they understood clearly. 1:25 pm rolls around and a family friend shows up in a Jeep instead of a proper taxi. I did not care about the 100 rupees saved since he drove like a maniac and I could have missed my flight. He was driving out of the lane for half the trip, and it wasn't to avoid pedestrians. It was very dangerous. Apparently you have to dial a taxi yourself as the owners won't.

Parfaitement parfait! Nos hôtes étaient là pour nous conseiller et répondre à nos multiples questions. Un endroit très sûr et bien situé près de Victoria. J'ai adoré!

Arrivati tardi la sera abbiamo subito dormito. La mattina colazione e via direzione praslin

Location is convenient for the ferry. The people handling the facility are very helpful.
