The Ridge Residence is an excellent hotel and I had a great comfortable stay. Please be aware this is not a beach front hotel, But is centrally located on the island of Mahe with easy access to explore the whole island and all the beaches. Close to Victoria, Eden Island and the Airport, which is good for Business travellers, and tourists alike. The hotel is close to local bus routes so you can easily travel into town and other locations on the island. The view from the hotel looks out towards Victoria across to Eden Island and out over the Ocean which is unique to this Hotel and can also be enjoyed from being in the pool. Rooms have great silent air conditioning and a great shower with all the amenities you would find in any decent 3 star hotel and beyond. A great breakfast to set you up for the day with dinner available in the evening if you need it. A small but very comfortable hotel with great friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff. If you would like to experience true seychellois creole hospitality away from the usual worldwide corporate hotel chains. without a doubt stay here, and from here enjoy Seychelles..
