👍👍 Very good rooms for the cheap price.

The family is very nice and tried to help wherever they could. I highly recommend the stay, especially... People often mention price, stay, nice, Zimmer, nicht, family, staff, room, money, great,

    (Translated by Google) I did not like this place at all. The apartment was very old both facilities and furniture and in poor condition, had very little lighting and barely had the basic utensils, the toilet did not work. The cleaning and maintenance in general left a lot to be desired. I would not go back to this place. (Original) No me gustó nada este lugar. El apartamento estaba muy viejo tanto las instalaciones como el mobiliario y en malas condiciones, disponía de muy poca iluminación y apenas tenía el menaje básico, no funcionaba la cisterna del baño. La limpieza y el mantenimiento en general dejaba mucho que desear. No volvería a este lugar.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Golden Shell Residence, Trou d'Eau Douce, Mauritius and I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience. From the moment I arrived until my departure, the level of service and support provided by the staff was simply exceptional. Here are the highlights of my stay: * Warm Welcome: Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the attentive and friendly staff. Their genuine smiles and welcoming demeanor instantly made me feel valued and appreciated as a guest. * Impeccable Assistance: The staff went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met throughout my stay. They were always readily available to answer my questions, offer suggestions for local attractions, and assist with any requests promptly and efficiently. * Personalized Attention: What truly impressed me was the personalized attention I received from Mr. Aki Allock. He took the time to learn my name and preferences, making me feel like a valued guest. Whether it was remembering my favorite drink or anticipating my needs, their attention to detail was impeccable. * Swift Problem Resolution: On one occasion, I encountered a minor issue with my room. However, Aki swiftly resolved the matter with utmost professionalism and courtesy with complementary upgrade. They truly understand the importance of guest satisfaction and acted promptly to ensure my comfort. * Attention to Cleanliness and Hygiene: I was particularly impressed with the hotel's commitment to cleanliness and hygiene, especially in the current global scenario. The entire property was immaculate, and enhanced cleaning protocols were clearly evident, providing me with peace of mind during my stay. * Timely and Efficient Support: The hotel staff's support extended beyond the basic amenities. They provided excellent assistance with transportation arrangements, local tour bookings, and even offered valuable recommendations for nearby attractions. Their knowledge and efficiency greatly enhanced my overall experience. * A Culture of Hospitality: The exceptional service and support I experienced at Golden Shell Residence can be attributed to the hotel's remarkable culture of hospitality. It is evident that the entire team is dedicated to providing guests with a truly memorable and enjoyable stay. In conclusion, my stay at Golden Shell Residence exceeded all expectations, primarily due to the hotel's outstanding service and unmatched support. The staff's genuine care, attention to detail, and commitment to guest satisfaction left a lasting impression on me. I wholeheartedly recommend Golden Shell Residence to anyone seeking a hotel experience that is unparalleled in service and support. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

    (Translated by Google) Aki is really nice and helpful, but I cannot recommend the accommodation to others. Rooms are dark and noisy due to the noise from the street. The only blanket you get is a bedspread or a terribly smelly thick blanket. The pillowcases are also not removable and certainly not hygienic. There is a safe in the room, but it is not permanently installed and therefore unusable. There is no soap on the toilet, no towels (only one bath towel at a time) and only two rolls of toilet paper. For the price, there are better places to stay in other places. (Original) Aki ist zwar super lieb und hilfsbereit, allerdings kann ich die Unterkunft nicht weiter empfehlen. Zimmer sind dunkel und laut aufgrund des Lärms von der Straße. Als Decke bekommt man nur eine Tagesdecke oder eine fürchterlich stinkende dicke Decke. Die Kissenbezüge sind ebenfalls nicht abnehmbar und sicherlich nicht hygienisch. Es gibt zwar einen Safe im Zimmer, allerdings ist dieser nicht fest verbaut und somit unbrauchbar. Es gibt keine Seife auf der Toilette, keine Handtücher (nur jeweils ein Badetuch) und nur zwei Rollen Klopapier. Für den Preis, gibt es an anderen Orten bessere Unterkünfte.

    (Translated by Google) Affordable apartment, air conditioning ok.owners friendly, they have a small shop downstairs. Payment could be made by bank card and they also handled the airport for transportation. (Original) Edullinen huoneisto, ilmastointi ok.omistajat ystävällisiä, heillä pieni kauppa alakerrassa. Maksu voitiin suorittaa pankkikortilla ja he hoitivat myös lentokenttä kuljetuksen.

    Wir haben in dieser Unterkunft 2 Nächte verbracht, bevor es in den Nordwesten weiterging. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und entgegenkommend, das Zimmer klein aber fein. Für das Zimmer an sich gibt es dann allerdings doch nur 2 Sterne: es war die ganze Nacht sehr laut (bellende Hunde auf der Straße, Verkehr direkt vor dem Zimmer - zudem war das Badezimmerfenster defekt und somit immer offen). Leider waren auch einige Ameisen im Zimmer. Wir durften das Auto in der Garage parken. Auch bei der Buchung des Tagesausfluges wurde uns geholfen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants und auch das Meer sind fußläufig erreichbar. Alles in allem wären wir somit bei 3 Sternen, durch das unschlagbare Preis- Leistungsverhältnis werden es dann aber doch 4 Sterne. Für Urlauber ohne große Ansprüche, die auf das Budget schauen und die erwähnten Nachteile in Kauf nehmen, können wir die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen.

    Lovely guest house situated in picturesque Trou d'Eau Douce. Boats to Il Aux Cerfs literally down the road. Enjoyed walking around taking in the views. Many restaurants and shops close by. Buses to get around if you don't wish to use a taxi. They also provide vehicle hire, as well as Taxi service. Lovely comfy room. Good air con. Good WiFi. Kitchenette area, kettle, microwave, cutlery - all essentials provided for. Enjoyed my cups of teas on the balcony taking in the view. Aki very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Can organise trips and transport. Lovely family. Amazing value for money.

    (Translated by Google) Very simple apartment in the middle of town. Price / performance ratio is right. Nice landlord, the obvious effort, but on the scope of his tasks on some things completely overwhelmed. Helps with some things always. The surrounding area is very noisy, street, barking street and fruit bats at night. Air conditioning loud, fridge loud. TV did not work. WLAN great. Room cleaning without rule and only poorly done. On the ground floor there is a mini market. There is also an attached car rental. Bicycles and scooters can be rented. Rooms very simply decorated, do not expect too much! (Original) Sehr einfaches Appartment mitten im Ort. Preis/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt aber. Netter Vermieter, der sichtlich bemüht, aber am Umfang seiner Aufgaben bei einigen Dingen völlig überfordert scheint. Hilft aber bei einigen Dingen immer. Die Umgebung ist sehr laut, Straße, in der Nacht bellende Straßen- und Flughunde. Klimaanlage laut, Kühlschrank laut. TV hat nicht funktioniert. WLAN super. Zimmerreinigung ohne Regel und auch nur dürftig durchgeführt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich ein Mini-Markt. Es gibt auch eine angeschlossene Autovermietung. Es können auch Fahrräder und Motorroller gemietet werden. Zimmer sehr einfach eingerichtet, nicht zu viel erwarten!

  • 5/5 Tünde K. 1 year ago on Google
    I stayed here 3 nights and from the moment of booking the communication with the owner (Aki) was continous. I travelled a lot but I dare to say Aki is one of the best and helpful host I have met. Supermarkets, beach are around, and the room was extremly clean. They organise trasport to the airport as well, and help in other services, programs. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Nekena N. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Our stay at the Golden Shell Residence was great. A clean and air-conditioned room (with a private veranda). The value for money is great. Aki and family are very caring. They offer transfers (airport or deer islands), rentals (bike, scooter and car) and travel on the island at very competitive prices. A very good value for money. And then Freshwater Hole offers the opportunity to live the daily Mauritian. (Original) Notre séjour au golden shell Residence était super. Une chambre propre et climatisée (avec une véranda privée ). Le rapport qualité prix est super. Aki et famille sont au petit soins. Ils proposent des transferts (aéroport ou îles aux cerfs), des locations (vélo, scooter et voiture) ainsi que des voyage sur l'île à des prix très compétitifs. Un très bon rapport qualité prix. Et puis Trou d'eau douce offre la possibilité de vivre le quotidien mauricien.

    As a family of 4 who stayed for 3 weeks I would happily recommend staying at Golden Shell. Aki and his family are warm, welcoming and very helpful. The place had everything we needed and our stay was comfortable and an absolute pleasure. The location is also fantastic considering its easy access to local markets, restaurants and beaches. Thank you again Aki.

  • 1/5 Michael K. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In no case book. .... the worst apartment we have ever had in our lives. Unfortunately, we can report absolutely NOTHING positive about it. The whole room full of ants incl bed, dirty, ancient furniture, dirty lent mattresses, bed size for dwarfs, temperature of the air conditioning could not be adjusted and made a hell of a noise. Very, very loud from the street and also in the house you could hear every chair that went crazy and every door. So our conclusion: avoid, avoid, avoid, absolute rip-off and we can 5 star reviews absolutely not understand. Normally it would have to be completely closed and newly renovated .... a bastard without Gleichen.Thade you have something to give a star MUST to rate it (Original) Auf keinen Fall buchen. ....das übelste Appartment, das wir in unserem ganzen Leben bisher hatten. Leider können wir absolut NICHTS positives darüber berichten. Das ganze Zimmer voller Ameisen incl.Bett, schmutzig, uralte Möbel, dreckige ausgeleiherte Matratzen, Bettgröße für Zwerge,Temperatur der Klimaanlage konnte nicht eingestellt werden und machte einen Höllenlärm dazu. Sehr, sehr laut von der Straße her und auch im Haus hörte man jeden Stuhl, der verrückt wurde und jede Tür. Also unser Fazit: meiden, meiden, meiden, absolute Abzocke und wir können 5 Sterne Bewertungen absolut nicht nachvollziehen. Normalerweise müsste es komplett geschlossen und neu renoviert werden.... ein Dreckstall ohne Gleichen.Schade das man sowas noch einen Stern geben MUSS um es zu bewerten.😈
