    Staff was excellent, hotel is OK. We requested a room change as the first one had a strong smell and staff immediately gave us another room. Breakfast was good too!

    No view from the window. Couldn't open it and have some fresh air. The restaurant downstair allows in only by reservation or accepts orders to rooms.

    The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. The location was good away from the noise of the main street, but still accessible to major sites. Breakfast was fine.

    Only thing you could argue about is the location - located down a side street. This did not hinder us in anyway due to the helpful staff taking care of everything.

    A smart hotel in the centre of Male - this was used as an Overnight before travelling on to the islands. The hotel pick up and drop off was 1st class. The staff are warm friendly and very helpful. The room was a good size with everything needed for the weary traveller. A good breakfast awaits in the morning.

    Breakfast spread was smaller than we are used to, but we think it's fair considering the smaller number of guests for a small hotel. Less food wastage, which is great.

    The hotel staff was very warm and helpful. Unais from the front desk was especially welcoming and often took the initiative to converse with us and to offer valuable suggestions. We also liked that there was room service. Many boutique hotels or smaller hotels do not provide room service anymore. It was a convenience we really appreciated after an exhausting day of snorkelling. Bonus - food was tasty and reasonably priced!

    The hotel was a little pricey and for our return journey I found cheaper accommodation in nearby Hulhumale.

    The staff were lovely and the late check-in after our flight went smoothly. The rooms were large, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of free bottled water available. Breakfast was included and the hotel arranged for a transfer for us from and to the airport.

    The mattress was fairly hard and a little worn. The bath towels very a bit threadbare. The two rooms contained too many unnecessary decorative cushions.

    The hotel was very clean with great staff. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant was very good - thanks to Noor and his team. As our flight to Singapore departed at 2325hr, the manager helped us negotiate a late check-out at a very reasonable price. Thank you 🙏🏽

    I had some internal flights. I requested the hotel for transfers to the airport which they did from the hotel to the aiport. However, there was no trasfer when I got back and I had to look around for a taxi to take me to Male - that's easier said than done! If anyone intends to do this, I'd strongly recommend getting the hotel to arrange this before hand. The airport is right next door to Male, but getting a taxi is not straightforward around here!

    Transfer from the airport was great. It's not easy that easy to get to Male from the airport which is right next door, hence the hotel transfer is vital. All the staff were very friendly and attentive and the room was a very good size, clean and quiet.

    Clean and modern hotel. Great bathroom, shower and facilities. The place was quiet and had a generally calming atmosphere. Airport pickup was a breeze. Staff were very helpful and kind at all times throughout our stay. They gave us a 'welcome drink' of lemon tea when we arrived (so good after a long day of travel). I highly recommend the Belle Amie Bistro next door - excellent breakfast and dinner there! Good location in Male City. Plenty of shopping around if that is your thing. I would stay here again!
