Château St. Cloud

The hotel is really clean!!! Enjoyed the ambience cleanliness and attention to detail in the rooms. Although the hotel is about 15 minutes walk or bike ride from the beach, it is within easy reach. Lovely pool area and garden to relax. Meal service also ok

My room at this hotel was spacious and overlooked both the swimming pool and lush garden. it was exactly what i needed to unwind as i sat in the balcony. dinner was freshly prepared and full of flavour. the steamed rice, lentils and vegetables were cooked straight from the heart. breakfast was also wholesome. overall a good experience at the hotel!

Lovely colonial historic building set amidst a lush garden away from the main town road and hustle bustle of the tourists. It is a quiet location but you need some form of transport to get to the restaurants or beaches. There is bicycle rental available. The room we chose was a Superior over looking the swimming pool. Several steps lead uo to the accommodation giving it a good vantage point over the garden and was one of the last rooms to have sun when it sets. It was spacious and old colonial style. Bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. The bathroom was spacious but the shower needed a little updating. There was a spacious veranda. Staff were friendly, accommodating and engaged in conversation . The owner was a very likeable sixth generation of the original owner. The dining experience wasn't uplifting. The room was dark and very lacking in soul. The food was average but would benefit from labelling so you know what is what. Beverages in particular wine were OK but not to a 'Chateau' standard. There was one concern regarding a health and safety issue. There were a number of mosaic tiles missing from the swimming pool especially on the edge of the steeps leading into the pool. These were underwater and could easily be missed but which exposed some rather sharp edges. These could easily cut skin so beware!

The personal was never avalible and not very happy. The bathroom was full of ants and spiders. It also smelled really bad. The pool was also really dirty and full of insects.. we had breakfast inkluded, but we didn’t dare to eat anything there. We tried to be at the hotel as litle as posible. Only for sleeping. You do not get any waterbottels there, so you have to buy them before you go there. Worst hotelexpirens we had in a really long time..

La Digue is a very small island and there are very limited good properties and Chateau St. Cloud is one of them. I have given 5 star rating to this hotel only because La Digue does not have much properties. This hotel is like 10 minutes drive from Jetty. The rooms were clean but do not expect modern structure. The hotel has become quite old now and has not been revamped with modern equipment. But, it still offers a pleasant stay. The food is good and they mostly arrange for live music in evenings. Very well planted. On the island, one can only roam through bicycles and the hotel provided you the facility to hire them. Overall, its a good experience.
