This is really a fantastic hotel - probably the best in Cilaos !! Rooms were very neat and clean and food was very good.The only negative was that it was very difficult to communicate as very little English was understood !! Overall though a very good hotel !!

We stayed a couple of nights and enjoyed it very much. Friendly staff, welcome drink, clean and cosy room with a little terrace and a comfortable bed, quiet nights... There's an onsite restaurant which is about the only restaurant in town that is open on a Monday evening! The food is okay, but not really that much value for money.... More

not perfect, but by far the friendliest we came across. Staff and service were highlights. Even nice rooms were very simple, and bathroom v tired. However, great place to rest weary legs after summiting pitons des nieges. . .

Although the guidebooks wax lyrical about this hotel I was nervous when I saw the Trip Advisor reviews. But I’m glad I stayed here. They made by reservation very efficiently over the Internet (I was charged 100% when booking). The bus from St. Louis stops right in front of the hotel and it’s a five minute walk into the center...

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, during our honeymoon. We would not recommend it to anyone. The room was appalling: tiny and full of insects and termite-infested furniture. The bathroom smelled and was freezing cold as the only source of heat (the tower rail) did not work. There seemed to be no insulation whatsoever as we could constantly... More

The Vieux Cep is in of the most breathtaking locations on the island of La Reunion. The view from our was incredible with a view of Le Piton de Neige and other parts of the Cirque de Cilaos. The room was compact and comfortable with a rather cheesy heart theme throughout. The bed was very comfortable and excellent after a... More

A lovely hotel in one of the most dramatic locations on earth. The rooms are small, but functional; the renowned restaurant seemed over-hyped; the meal was very disappointing. But a glass of wine on the terrace outside the room looking up at the cirque - the dead volcano rim - was priceless. There are few places to stay in this... More
