Mountain View Hotel

It was great!

Stayed for 2 nights. Beautiful small hotel in a scenic spot . Large room. Warm hospitality from the owner and staff. Very close to the famous beaches , 5 minutes by bike from the union resort. but far from the town's fuss. Food is average but is served with love :) the staff took care of taxis to the port, its a five minuted drive. best stay in La Digue. We'll be back!

We stayed in Mountain View Hotel for seven nights, and enjoyed it every single one. Located in a quiet area, in the heart of the mountain forest, it's perfect for those who want quality rest and comfort far away from the city noise. Rooms are tidy and spacious, with all the neccessary equipment, and the room service is always active on daily basis to keep it clean. Food is excellent, every dinner is prepared with pure love by great chef Steve. All the ingredients are allways fresh from the island, and the combinations are so good that we were delighted with every specialty we tried. Restaurant and lobby host Kurtis was someone we could deffinitely rely on to always be there for everything. He's tireless, full of positive energy, calm and collective and allways available to offer help, information, and do everything he can to make our stay as good as possible. We are so happy that we choose this hotel on La Digue, instantly we felt at home and that there was nothing we couldn't have asked from the staff. We were under a lot of pressure because we were organising not only our stay, but also our wedding and they provided all the information and assistance we needed.

The hotel is relatively inexpensive, so finally you get what you pay for. If you don’t expect too much, the price/quality ratio may be ok for you. Pros: Friendly staff in the restaurant, nice view, quiet location. Cons: The hotel is located on a steep slope, you have to push your bike up the hill for 150 meters in the heat, which is very difficult for an untrained person. The hotel is situated in the forest so you have all kinds of bugs in your room be prepared and bring a lot of bug spray. The breakfast is basic with small choice , the quality of the food is average, we didn’t have dinner at the hotel, so I can’t comment on the dinner. The hotel doesn’t provide beach towels at all, they don’t provide drinking water as well. When we checked in, there were bottles of water in the minibar and the lady clearly stated that we could get 1 free bottle per day, but when we checked out, all the bottles were included in the bill (3 times more expensive than water price in the store), to all our arguments, we were told that there was a misunderstanding and water wasn’t free of charge, honestly it looked more like a scam than a misunderstanding, be careful. Hotel pool is very small, only comfortable for 2-4 persons and doesn’t have places in the shade (no umbrellas). If you are staying at this hotel, I recommend taking bikes near the ferry, they are cheaper (100 rupees per day vs 150 at the hotel) and better condition. As of May 2024, extensive construction work is underway at the hotel (construction of a new building).

I came for a two nights stay with my kids at mountain view hotel. The rooms are Spacious, VERY well equipped and comfortable .fast wi fi.the balcony overlooked the mountain. I enjoyed sitting there early morning and late evening.The hotel is located a bit away from the hussles and bussles of the main/touristy spots of La Digue.But for us it was not an issue because it was nice to come back to peace and quiet after a busy day. Anse source d'argent is about 30mins walk away or 15mins by bike.we took taxis everywhere as the kids didnt like walking. The breakfast was amazing. Choice of egg/bake beans/sausage/bacon,toast,local jams,fruits,tea coffee,chocolate cereals. Dinner was very tasty, well presented! If your kids are Fussy eaters Just advice them what they like in the morning and they will make it for dinner. If you are vegeterian do let them know.They are very flexible. Flavy is a gem and very friendly and helpful.ask him for anything and he will advice you.Curtis is at the reception and with us for bfast and dinner, a young, courteous and friendly person.Even the chef is friendly. The chamber maid is also very nice. And the owners mr and mrs laurence are 2 beautiful people who is actively involved with making sure their guests are well looked after. I encourage seychellois to come because u wont be treated differently. Tourist from overseas come and experience what local creole hospitality is with this star team. We will come only to mountain view next time we visit La digue.With love and appreciation.Maria and family
