Hôtel Exsel Créolia in Q&A

Information is provided based on reviews and may contain inaccuracies.

What is the location of Hôtel Exsel Créolia, and what kind of view do the rooms offer?

The hotel complex is situated on an elevated hill in Saint-Denis, offering picturesque panoramic views of the ocean and the city. The drive to the city center takes only a few minutes by car, although during rush hours, the trip to the southern boulevard can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. The close proximity to the airport allows travelers to avoid the island's main traffic jams. Guests enjoy spending time on their room balconies, admiring sunsets over the bay. At the same time, some guests note the proximity to a sports field and windy afternoon weather.

Does the hotel provide a shuttle service to the airport and the city center?

For the convenience of guests, a regular scheduled shuttle service is provided. A branded minibus transports guests to central Saint-Denis and the airport. Guests appreciate the punctuality of the service and highlight the politeness and friendliness of the driver. The availability of this shuttle makes getting around significantly easier for those arriving on the island without a personal or rental car.

Is there on-site parking at the hotel, and are there enough spaces available?

There are two complimentary parking lots on-site for guests. In most cases, travelers easily find an available space for their vehicles. Parking challenges primarily arise during lunch and evening hours when the restaurant hosts outside visitors. On rare occasions, guests have needed to ask staff for assistance due to tight parking arrangements.

What condition are the rooms in at Hôtel Exsel Créolia, and what amenities do they feature?

Accommodation conditions vary significantly depending on the selected room category. Spacious superior rooms offer comfortable beds, magnificent balcony panoramas, and convenient reusable water bottles. Meanwhile, standard and quadruple rooms draw criticism for cramped shower cabins, a lack of wardrobe space, and signs of interior wear and tear. Guests occasionally report noisy or inefficient air conditioning. In upgraded rooms, travelers sometimes notice empty minibars and the absence of coffee machines.

What are the features of the pool, and are there enough sun loungers available?

The main highlight of the recreation area is a large outdoor pool featuring magnificent sea views and a separate children's section. The water is unheated, so due to windy hilltop conditions, swimming may not always feel comfortable. During peak hours, guests occasionally encounter a shortage of sun loungers around the pool deck. Additionally, visitors have expressed a desire for poolside beverage service.

What is the quality of food and level of service at the Hôtel Exsel Créolia restaurant?

The morning breakfast buffet delights guests with a variety of local fruits, fresh pastries, and traditional dishes such as reheated rice. The evening à la carte menu has earned many warm reviews for its exquisite tuna tartare and signature desserts. However, the holiday and themed buffets priced at €49 have drawn notable criticism due to the use of frozen convenience foods. Guests also report slow service during high-occupancy periods and early closing times for lunch service.

How attentive and prompt is the hotel staff?

The majority of the front desk, restaurant, and housekeeping staff exhibit genuine hospitality, responsiveness, and friendliness. Individual team members are regularly highlighted in positive reviews for assisting with room upgrades and maintaining impeccable cleanliness. However, when technical issues such as plumbing leaks arise, the response from maintenance staff can occasionally be slow. Guests express a desire for improved service coordination when handling non-standard requests.

What is the atmosphere like at the hotel, and do the rooms provide good soundproofing?

The overall ambiance is conducive to a peaceful family or romantic getaway surrounded by picturesque nature. On weekends, festive music is occasionally played by the pool, creating a lively vibe. However, soundproofing in the guest buildings leaves much to be desired. Guests can hear footsteps and conversations in the corridors late in the evening, as well as the sound of moving furniture in neighboring rooms early in the morning.

What additional amenities and complimentary perks are available to hotel guests?

Upon arrival, travelers are traditionally offered a refreshing welcome drink. The hotel features a spacious fitness room, though guests note occasional shortages of drinking water in the dispenser. A major advantage for travelers with late flights is the availability of a courtesy shower room, accessible even after check-out. During check-in, guests should keep in mind the mandatory payment of the local tourist tax.

My company booked this hotel for a short 30 hour layover.
Hotel is relatively close to the Roland Garros airport, 15-20min drive.
It is located up on the hill above St. Denis, still Saint Denis actually.
Hotel has amazing views if you are lucky to get a nice room facing Indian Ocean. I had a "cellar" room no view.
Swimming pool is amazing, fresh and you are never hot there since it is always windy.
Breakfast is very basic, upon check-in you get a welcome drink voucher.
To get to a useful beach you can either take local taxi or public transport. Taxi is extremwly expensive 70EUR one way, about 30min drive. Public transport takes ages but is cheap, 5EUR. We took public bus. Had to change from line 14 to S or T line in St. Denis. Destination St. Gilles. Nice beaches there. Took us almost 4 hours to get there though.

We stayed here for 5 nights.
Rooms decent size (but sparcely furnished). Great pool.
The staff were pretty awesome.
Nothing too much trouble.
A bit out of town but we had a hire car and parking was no issue.
The restaurant food was really nice.

I only got to spend one night there due to Air Mauritius cancelling a flight.
But the staffs were very helpful.
Breakfast was nice.
The room was nice and bed comfy.
I can't really tell you about the location except that it's on a hill and from my room, I could see the ocean and the swimming pool of the hotel.
