CHEZ LORNA 5 nights minimum

Guesthouse

Lovely family environment but no eating places nearby and you have to walk up and down a steep hill to access shops, etc.

Everything is just amazingly beautiful. Thank you both.

Lovely place. Theo and Lorna are amazing hosts. It is a bit of a walk from the main road, but the view from the balconies makes it worth the effort.

Rarely does a hotel, inn, or B&B inspire such wonderful feelings. Chez Lorna is truly one of the best I've ever encountered. I would seriously think about staying here forever just to have Lorna cook for me. ~smile~ It's probably one of the most economical places to stay in Victoria in The Seychelles. Flexibility is important. As some have noted, the drawback is that it is 2km from the main town but come on, folks, at only 45 Euro a night it's a bargain. If you don't have a car then the bus is a very easy transportation mode. $30 USD from the airport to Chez Lorna or 2 buses and 72-cents. Take your pick. If you want to go into town or come back it only costs 36-cents each time. A bargain. What was especially wonderful about Chez Lorna was Lorna. She's a wonderful woman who makes a splendid breakfast for only 10 Euro. You can wile away the morning drinking coffee and enjoying the scenery from the breakfast nook. If you're REALLY nice to her, she'll cook you dinner every night if you let her know in advance. The cost is roughly the same as breakfast and she's a fabulous French cook. It's easy to pick up a bottle of wine at the supermarket in town or at the bottom of the hill and enjoy a wonderful evening. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Chez lorna is an interesting place and very homely. They are strict on time and thats good for business.

I stayed twice here so I have a good experience about the place. Pros: -Great view, just fantastic -Nice welcome drinks, so tasty, fresh and natural -super cute garden -you can use their fridge if you like so thats good -you have a water boiler for tea or coffee -if you ask in advance they can prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner and its very good So so weird things: -the family is very sweet and helpful however Teo the owner is a bit of a strange individual, he speaks without thinking ahead, he was throwing suspicion on my stay with my mother, it was just the two of us and it really sounded awkward like if I booked the room with my mom for, you understand right? Ridiculous. It's my mom! And I am sure I understood well. I didn't misunderstand. Money driven a little bit as well and promises some things but doesn't keep up to them. Negative things: -Internet is very slow, sometimes doesn't even work. We had to insist and insist to get something done. I was frustrated cause I needed to book a flight. -Animals nearby are super noisy, not a problem for me but for many could be unbearable -Very far away, you'll need a car or a bike, if not don't even consider this place -Really hard place to drive to, you need to know how to drive cause it's on a massive slope. -If you're afraid of insects it's better you look elsewhere. -Spartan rooms, quite just the essentials (no TV for example) -The steps that lead to the rooms are super sloped, if you fall you can really get hurt.

This review comes a bit late as I stayed at Chez Lorna approximately 8 months ago. I had the displeasure of staying in the room for approximately 4 hours, at which point I swarmed by ants in my bed. This is a no frills stay in the middle of nowhere convient. Bathroom was beautiful and had a trail of ants would not stay again. There also was a distinct flavour of fiddler on the roof. Truly inexplicable.

As I checked in there was a huge cockroach inside the fridge. Lots of insects (ants, roaches), geckos and centipedes inside the room. Wifi doesn't work. It is not well located. The owners are money-driven and don't worry at all about your well being. I strongly recommend you to stay far from this place. They refused to refund me partially for my stay, neglecting the booking policy they themselves established. They are not serious people. Beware.
