Fantastisk udsigt men mange trapper og dårlig seng
Personale
+ venlige og smilende
Morgenmad
Ok. Bestod af toastbrød, æg efter eget valg, ost, kødpålæg og blandet frugt samt nogle søde sager såsom crepes, banana fritters og sandkage.
Beliggenhed
+ smuk udsigt over Baie Lazare
! Obs på mange trapper, som yderligere er ekstra høje end typiske trapper i Europa
Værelse
- Seng/madras er virkelig dårlig og hård
Det er en springmadras uden topmadras, så man ligger direkte på fjedrene.
- Man har eget tekøkken men ingen ovn eller stegeblus
+ aircon
+ fantastisk udsigt
+ privatliv
Great hotel owned / managed by local family. Great service and hospitality and amazing view of the beach. And their restaurant is fantastic!! Best curry I’ve ever had.

Nettes, etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel
Grundsätzlich sei vorweg gesagt, dass das Hotel einfach vor ca 30 Jahren modern war! Die Dusche und die Toilette sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen, das Bett ist eher hart! Wlan gibt es leider nicht flächendecken- das soll alles in den kommenden Jahren umgesetzt werden! Familiär geführt- sehr liebevolle und bemühte Mitarbeiter, die gerne unterstützen! Der Strand und er Ausblick auf selbigen sind sogar für die Seychellen extra wunderbar! Frühstück durchaus gut, am Strand gibt es ein Restaurant, in dem gute kreolische Küche genossen werden kann!
Excellent place to stay in Mahé. The location is great. The beach is right below you and has long stretching sand and famous granite rocks. The staff was very helpful and nice. Charles is great! He can also arrange transportations/organize tours for you.
Un séjour au pied levé que propriétaire et personnel ont rendues magnifique.
Calme et situation au niveau.

Tolle Aussicht aber zu laut und veraltet
Als positive Punkte sind großräumige Zimmer mit toller Aussicht und das Frühstück mit viel Obst zu nennen. Negativ ist die recht laute Hauptstraße, die direkt unterhalb des Hotels führt. Die gesamte Anlage wirkt veraltet. Das Internet funktioniert nur im Lobbybereich.
Losse apartementen met balkon en altijd uitzicht op de baai. Prima ontbijt met fruit, toast, ei, muesli, kaas, worst, koffie, thee, sap. Wifi alleen in de lobby, maar reikt ook tot aan een deel van de kamers. In de burt is niet zoveel te doen, maar de bushaltes zijn dichtbij.

Correcto en una localización encantadora
Es un lugar encantador y los servicios propios que puedes esperar de un alojamiento de 2**. Importante destacar que el hotel es incompatible para personas de movilidad reducida, ya que hay grandes escalones, rampas/desniveles, escaleras, etc... Por lo demás y teniendo en cuenta el coste de vida en Seychelles la relación precio/calidad es la correcta. Tambien podría mejorar la variedad en el desayuno. El personal cumple con su función: ni más ni menos. A tener en cuenta que en la zona no hay opciones de Restaueantes, Bares, Ocio... con lo cual será imprescindible disponer de un vehículo para moverse.
Grande et confortable chambre. Belle terrasse. Vue magnifique sur l'océan. Wifi gratuit
Comme partout à Mahé, mieux avoir un véhicule (l’hôtel dispose de parking) pour se balader et aller sur les superbes plages des alentours.
Hotel staff very friendly and welcoming. We chatted to the staff every night over a beer about life on the island etc. The hotel is in a wonderful location and we had the honeymoon room with an amazing view but all rooms have a good view. We stayed in 3 hotels on the island including a 5* and I think Lazare Picault was my favourite. I loved sitting out at night, looking at the stars with the ocean stretching out below. Can't recommend highly enough.
A couple of very minor points. A car is probably worthwhile renting as the area is very quiet and if you happen to miss dinner then you don't have any food options but that's a minor inconvenience
Wir hatten 6 Nächte gebucht und wahren sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf die BaieLazare, die sehr angenehm ruhig und einladend zum verweilen ist mit einem tollen Sonnenuntergang. Es ist vielleicht nicht die beste Bucht zum baden aber wers romantisch mag ist da genau richtig. Ein Auto ist von Vorteil da es eher abgelegen liegt. Die Zimmer haben alle Meerblick und bieten für den Preis alles was man braucht. Der Service war gut und das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig und für den Preis gut.

Vacker utsikt
Det var ett okej hotell med en fantastisk strand precis bredvid. Underbar utsikt från balkongen. Vill man ha wi-fi får man det med nöd och näppe eftersom det är dålig uppkoppling.

You're there for the beach
Hotel has a fantastic view of the water and perfect for sitting out at sunset with a beer in hand. It is located in the southern part of Mahe and a distance from everything...and that is not a bad thing. The breakfast is not fantastic, but you will live. The room has no duvet or blanket, just a sheet. The room doesn't have blackout curtains so you are up by 8am. Ultimately, after 4 trips to Seychelles, you are looking for a decent place to sleep. This is the place. You go to bed by 9 PM and up by 8 AM to explore nature and play in the water. If you are looking for a resort that you don't leave, has all the amenities, and a restaurant. This is not the place. You need to pay for that and on Seychelles that is big $$$.
Personal ist sehr bemüht und nett. Leckeres Frühstück mit Omlett oder Ei, leckeren Früchten wie Maracuja, Papaya und Melone. Wir konnten einfach Abendessen zum Mitnehmen und auf dem Zimmer Essen bestellen und dadurch die Getränkekosten sparen. Die Knoblauch Spaghetti und das Gemüsecurry waren super, besser als in manch teurem Restaurant. Der Garten und der Blick vom Bungalow ist wunderschön. In der Mitte der Bucht befinden sich schöne Felsen. Sehr ruhig.

Room with a view
View excellent, Bed comfortable, a/c cool. Beach access good.
Kitchen poor, hotel meals ok but relatively expensive
Downmarket, but all the facilities you need. Fantastic position overlooking the beach, good snorkling (coral and reef fish). Friendly and helpful staff. Here you experience the real Seychelles - a nature paradise with poor but friendly people.
Belle vue, installations vieillies: hôtel décevant
Les plus de l'hôtel Lazare Picault sont :
- 1°) La proximité avec la jolie plage peu fréquentée de Baie Lazare et celle de Takamaka. Il est toutefois vivement recommandé de disposer d'un véhicule de location pour ne pas se retrouver très vite trop à l'étroit.
- 2°) Les bungalows offrent un panorama magnifique sur cet environnement de rêve. En revanche, cette belle vue se mérite, car les marches de l'escalier desservant les bungalows sont aussi hautes que nombreuses.
- 3°) Les bungalows sont suffisamment espacés pour garantir l'intimité de la clientèle.
Même si cet établissement reste fonctionnel au sens strict, les atouts du cadre ne suffisent pas à compenser une série de points négatifs qui laissent au final l'impression d'une destination très décevante dans l'ensemble :
- 1°) Aménagement obsolète : datant des années 1970, l'agencement des bungalows n'est désormais plus aux standards du confort actuel. La douche ne dispense par exemple qu'un filet d'eau famélique. Si l'on envisage de se doucher à l'eau chaude, il faut mettre en marche le chauffe-eau quinze minutes au préalable. Seul l'un des deux robinets de l'étroit lavabo fonctionne, après avoir effectué plusieurs tours dans le vide...
Quant au lit deux places, il s'agit de deux petts matelas juxtaposés.
-2°) Le mobilier et sa décoration sont kitschissimes : de petits stickers "papillons" sont collés sur la baie vitrée coulissante, derrière les rideaux à motifs marins vieillis. Les étagères de la chambres croûlent sous quantité de livres en Allemand. On pourra se consoler en se repposant sur un fauteuil en skaï face au panorama.
- 3°) L'établissement ne propose pas de service de restauration pour le déjeuner. Les plats servis au dîner sont médiocres tant en qualité qu'en quantité. L'hôtel Lazare Picault n'est en aucun cas une destination gastronomique, même pour la clientèle la moins regardante. Lorsqu'on tente de dîner, une fois et une seule, on se retrouve facilement seuls dans la petite salle de restauration à l'entrée de l'hôtel : il n'y a pas de loups dans les environs, sans ça on les entendrait assurément hurler à la lune !
- 4°) Le personnel : à l'arrivée, l'accueil est poli mais sans chaleur. L'indéfinissable cocktail de bienvenue se consomme lui aussi par pure politesse. Le porteur de valises est en revanche très efficace, et le service de chambre également. Sympathique et très consciencieux, le vieil agent de sécurité est omniprésent, de jour comme de nuit, à tel point qu'il n'est pas rare de le croiser une fois le soir tombé derrière la baie vitrée, lorsque les rideaux sont tirés.
Très attentive à votre bien être, la serveuse vous couvera de son regard fixe tout le dîner durant.
- 5°) Les services proposés par l'hôtel : inexistants. Absence de connexion internet, pas de navette vers les plages, pas de location de voiture, etc.
En conclusion, un établissement qui conviendra aux routards et aux budgets serrés, mais à déconseiller autrement.
