Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice property for stopover enroute to our Island resort
- Thierry (8/5): Liaison et changement - Cet hôtel permet de voir un autre aspect des Maldives. Île encore calme avant l'arrivée du pont la reliant à Malé ! Petit déj : correct !
Bonnes discussion avec le propriétaire (un Italien qui habite le Vieux Nice) qui parle Français.
- kent (10/5): avkoppling med dykning - att besöka maldiverna är en annorlunda upplevelse annan kultur annat sätt att leva lång ifrån vår vardag men det e värt att uppleva i ett land som satsar mycket på turismen
- Young (8/5): - Decent place to stay. But if you are planning to stay for views then this hotel does not offer ocean views unless you walk outside and turn on the street. Nice people and good food.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 2 days spent in a convenient neighborhood. Prices are okey
- Verified traveler (6/5): The best to expect - Considering space is at a premium in all hotels in Male, this in hindsight is a good place to stay as it is close to the beach and the airport.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 空港で30分以上待って、宿泊予定者全員をピックアップして車でホテルに向かい、順々にチェックインしていくため、部屋に入るまでに結構な時間がかかった。作りがホテルというより、旅館という感じ。
- Calypso (8/5): Good location for resort/dive boat transfers - We used this hotel three days surrounding a liveaboard diving trip and found it very convenient and comfortable (Expedia, however, expects 3 reviews for these separately booked days...). My brother stayed an extra day at the end to make a later flight, and recommends the beachfront restaurant next door for eats and view. Be prepared for instant coffee, not brewed, at the hotel...(our otherwise wonderful boat was the same).
- Calypso (6/5): More than adequate for brief stays - We used this hotel for 2 separate nights around a liveaboard dive trip. We had a bit of trouble linking up with the hotel driver on arrival, and ended up rent a taxi to get there (hotel then paid taxi). Transfers are NOT free. We rented two "business suites" to get two beds; these rooms are of adequate size and interestingly decorated. No elevator, but there is porter service for bags. Staff is very nice, although English comprehension is limited. Location is almost on the beach, safe neighborhood, nice to walk around. Food is ok. Only instant coffee is available... 10 minutes to airport and ferry to Male makes this hotel more convenient than staying in the city if you are just staying over prior to moving to a resort or liveaboard.
- Mirza (6/5): Its a very pricey hotel and not more than 3 star. - Don't expect reasonable buffet breakfast. As there were only fish curry, beans and egg of your choice available. The choice was too limited to enjoy breakfast. You're better off eating outside. It is 15 mins away from airport and from capital male you have to take ferry after going to the airport terminal
- Verified traveler (4/5): バックパッカーのホテル並み - 一泊の利用でしたが、あまり良くないです。
部屋はかび臭くエアコンの清掃がされていません。
シャワーも途中で水になってしまったり、部屋にはドライヤーすらありませんでした。
冷蔵庫の電源も切れてました。
ただスタッフの対応は良かったです。
- Not Provided (2/5): Not worth the money. Poor guest service. Loud neig - Put us in wrong room after long travel. Had to move when we were resting. Did not give any discount for only staying there 5 hours due to airline mistake. Not very thoughtful that way.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 一泊なら我慢できる - お部屋は悪くなかったが、タオルの匂いが少し気になった。エレベーターがないので、大きな荷物を運ぶ際に、女性は大変かも。朝の空港への送りは予約の時間通りだったが、到着した際の迎えが心配だったので現地のコーディネーターにお願いしたが、ホテルに着くまで時間がかかった。なかなか到着しないし、乗り合いみたいにいろいろ回って時間がかかった。
- Verified traveler (4/5): needs improvement - Was a little disappointed with this hotel. Firstly they send info telling you to wait for the airport shuttle. It wasn't there and had to call three times. Then they charge you for the return shuttle whend that was the discussed. Hotel room tv didn't work and there was no WiFi in the room at all. For the price I think there might be other options out there. Service was good and people were nice.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Trevligt hotell för att vara nära flygplatsen. - Trevligt hotell, men jag hade hellre åkt till en turistö.
- Peterfm (8/5): A quirky little place Ok for a short stay. - Our experience didn't start well - even after confirming our flight arrival times twice they still failed to pick us up, we had to call the hotel. We waited almost an hour and when we were finally picked up there were no transport options for our surfboards so they had to be stored at the airport for US$10 ea. When we got to the hotel we were checked into the wrong room and when they discovered this I had to get out of the shower and move to another (larger) room. Also noted that in both rooms the mini bars were warm. Staff and management were really very nice and have the best intentions but when they're busy the systems seem to break down. The rooms are adequate but be aware the beds are very firm.
- Mari (8/5): Good hotel - Very good hotel. The staff was really friendly and the food at the hotel was nice. Not much to see in the area but the beach is nice, just too bad you can't wear bikinis.
- Tay Boon Hong (8/5): We will Be Back - Friendly staff, clean room, Good location which is convenient which many eatery located nearby. Served Wide varieties of Breakfast. good wifi.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Perfect transit hotels in the Maldives. - This is our 2nd stay with the property. Both times we arrived at 1.30am and left at 6am. They sent a driver to pick up up from the airport and drop us off. This time we were slightly disappointed since our driver was not there when we arrived and had to wait 30 minutes or so, especially since we were traveling with 2 children. If I did not have children I would have just waited at the airport in between transfers.
- Mr Peter (10/5): A delightful gem. - We were picked up from the airport by the staff which was after 11pm in the evening, they greeted us on arrival with cold towels and drinks, the whole experience was amazing from the staff, hotel ambiance, comfort and cleanliness , they were so helpful and welcoming in every way , we celebrated New Year with them which was a lovely experience and would highly recommend if looking for a small personal hotel with great service, Food was home cooked and delicious, Breakfast was basic but nice,
- Donavan (8/5): Good place to stay - The hotel was exactly what I was expecting, a good place to rest my bones for the next leg of our trip. Everyone was friendly, service was good, food wasn't bad either. Hotel was also quiet, that's important to me. My wife had no real complaints, and that's saying a lot.
- Jan Erik (8/5): Recommended for getting a local experience. - We used this hotel as a pre/post location for the transit to the island resort, and is perfect suited for that purpose. It is a nice charming hotel with a friendly and really helpful staff. The reception/restaurant and room were nice and clean (not so much the hotel surroundings). Airport transfer roundtrip is also arranged at a small fee, recommended. As there is not much to see in the neighborhood, there are several activities that is arranged by the hotel or 3rd parties (watersports and excursions).
If you are female, don't forget a appropriate bathing suit (long shorts and t-shirt) if the local beach is tempting. Be aware that there is zero tolerance for inappropriate dress code and alcohol as this is hotel is located in the residential area of Hulumale. However, a nice stay and we really enjoyed it. Kind of a contrast to the luxury island resorts, and together with a visit to Male (bring a guide) you will experience something unique and off the beaten track.
The only minor downside for us was the rather hard beds and it took ages to get hot water in the shower...
- CHIH CHUNG (6/5): 乾淨 - 有些人說餐點好吃(我倒不覺得),一盤義大利麵跟一盤綜合海鮮(其實一點都稱不上拼盤)就花了40元美金,完全吃不飽!當初入住時我給了一張全新的百元大鈔當押金(保管箱),事後歸還時,卻拿了幾張20元且破爛不堪的小鈔!飯店服務整體來說是不錯,但一些小細節扣了分!房價每晚130元美金卻沒有達到標準,算是附近最貴的一間飯店!
- CHIH CHUNG (6/5): 乾淨 服務尚可 - 我們有點後悔在這間飯店住太多天,原因是把飯店網站裡介紹的行程過於美化,
我們想參加的釣魚和跳島行程因為人數不夠而被取消,跳島活動則是到了出發時才說,
其他旅客不克參加,如果我們執意要去必須再加300美金!
會住這家飯店是因為訂房網站上評價不錯,有些人說餐點好吃(我倒不覺得),
一盤義大利麵跟一盤綜合海鮮(其實一點都稱不上拼盤)就花了40多元美金,
完全吃不飽!
回教國家的人不太熱情甚至有點冷淡,你對他們說過的事,他們會去作但不太有效率,
第一晚抵達時,我就說過接下來要去的島上飯店,
兩邊的飯店會連絡並通知對方來接人,光是這件事只要換一個櫃台就問我一次,
問到我實在是很懷疑他們的做事方式,除了飯店很乾淨之外,
我不想推薦大家這間飯店,房價每晚130元美金卻沒有達到標準,算是附近最貴的一間飯店,
與其說是飯店不如說是一間小民宿只有10間房,在附近的巷子裡有很多新開的民宿,
雖然我沒住過但房價卻只有Le Vieux Nice Inn二到三分之一的有些還面海,
如果你只是中轉機短暫住一天找間便宜又乾淨的住吧!
千萬別像我異想天開的住了好幾天!
當初入住時我給了一張全新的百元大鈔當押金(保管箱),事後歸還時,
卻拿了幾張20元且破爛不堪的小鈔,當時身上已無當地貨幣,
櫃檯人員說美金可以通用,結果我拿去對面超市,店員不肯收,
之後我很不高興地反應這種情形,櫃檯才又換了一張較新的20元小鈔給我!
- Selina (8/5): a cheaper choice to stay in airport island - Just stay overnight for the seaplane transfer. Good wifi , clean bed and not too expensive. That is good enough. Hotel locates in the Airport Island, so just ask the information desk to call the Hotel for car pickup, no need to take the boat shuttle to Male.
- Wai Fong (8/5): nice hotel - nice stop over hotel, near airport with clean room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best quality of inn. - Very kind and Very Clean
Whatever i can expect more to inn?
- Rand (6/5): Great hotel for few nights stay - Was very happy with this hotel for our one night stay when we arrived late at night in Maldives before going to our resort the day after. Hotel staff picked us up on time and took us to the hotel in a very comfortable car. Greeted at the hotel with cool towels were promptly given our room because it was so late. Was also upgraded to a family room given we were travelling with a child. That was amazing! Next day breakfast was average given it is a smaller hotel I guess. Amenities are average but very clean and tidy and comfortable. Staff are extremely friendly.
- gregmct (8/5): good weekend away from male - i really enjoyed this hotel as a break away from male for the weekend. the old is pretty good - air conditioning wasn't great. fish curry in restaurant was excellent. huluhmale is one of those 1000 pound a night resorts but it is heaven when you are working in male. and le vieux nice inn is very good value for money
- Michael (8/5): Good place, if staying close to the airport - We stayed there for one night, waiting for the boat transfer next morning.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - 普通.來回機場接送費用$20/2人
- Verified traveler (10/5): grazioso hotel vicino all'aeroporto - fatta escursione con l'hotel all'isoletta kuda Bandos bella esperienza a prezzi contenuti
- Jonas Braathen (6/5): Great service, OK hotel - Great service provided by the hotel people, but the hotel location was just OK.
- km_chung (10/5): Excellence transit point - We arrived at 21:00 in Male and was picked up to hotel directly. We checked out at 05:00 next morning so it is value for money to have a few hours sleep before we go to the island.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent staff! - The staff made our stay particularly excellent. Mujay especially was very helpful.
The room was smallish but nice. Would definitely recommend!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel close to airport - Very nice hotel, good value for money, convenient for a one night stay while waiting for a flight. Friendly staff and good facilities.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Inn & helpful staff - Stayed for one night at the family suite to stop over for a late arrival at Male airport and early departure next morning to the resort by seaplane. The main reason I chose this hotel was because it was located in the same island as the airport so we could avoid taking the boat (with a child and heavy luggages) late at night. The hotel staff was waiting for us at the arrival gate and we had a comfortable ride to the inn, and everything was efficiently taken care of, including the confirmation of the seaplane check-in time. They offer a return transfer service to the airport (in reasonable price). Room was clean, staff was extremely helpful.
マーレ空港到着が夜で、早朝に水上飛行機で出発だったため1泊のみ利用しました。長時間フライトの後、荷物と子供をかかえてボートでマーレ本島に移動するのはあまりに大変に思えたため、車で移動が可能なこのホテルを選びました。個人手配での旅行だったため、空港までの送迎(復路は有料)や水上飛行機のチェックイン時間の確認をサポートしてもらったのには助かりました。マーレ全体の衛生観念を考えると、部屋がとても清潔なのには失礼ながら正直驚きました。短い滞在に必要なものはすべてそろっていると思います。
- Micha (8/5): Nettes kleines Hotel in Flughafennähe - Freundliche Mitarbeiter im Hotel, pünktlicher Transfer zum Flughafen, gutes Essen, saubere Zimmer und eine nette Atmosphäre im Haus.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können das Vieux Nice nur weiter empfehlen......
- CandidJohn (8/5): Decent clean transit hotel - New hotel, very well located with pick up service from the airport. Friendly staff, clean rooms with airconditioning, good neighbourhood. Little bit of confusion around seaplane timing the next day but overall a good experience.
- Trish K (10/5): Probably the best on hulumale - Called them and they picked us up. They confirmed our seaplane reservation when we checked in. The cool towel they headed us felt great after a long flight. The room was a good size and had all the nessissary toiletries you need. No elevator and very small stairwell. Our flight ended up being very early, but they were kind enough to give us some pastries. It's next to a grocery store. I'd stay here again!
- Torkel Seip (10/5): Kjempegod service - Fra jeg ble hentet på flyplassen til de fraktet meg til fergen til Male og spanderte billetten på meg, var dette en gjennomført opplevelse av kvaliteten og service. Takk for oppholdet og jeg vil uten tvil benytte samme hotell ved en senere anledning.
- DJ Timothy (10/5): Wonderful place to stay!! - This hotel is an excellent place to stay for a quick stopover in Male, or even an extended stay to visit other islands. It is clean and friendly, and the staff are extremely nice and helpful. The restaurant food is also very good. I highly recommend this Le Vieux Nice Inn for any kind of visit to the Maldives.
- Priyanka (10/5): Awesome stay !! - First of all i would like to thank expedia through which i found this hotel and found it super cool.My stay was extraordinary awesome.The staffs were very friendly and supportive . The buffet breakfast was real tasty one.The condition of the hotel (both exterior and interior ) and the room was very good.The location of the hotel (which was just few steps away )was an added cherry to it .On the whole i found this hotel a lovely place to stay and would recommend this hotel to all my friends and colleagues who would make a plan to maldives. Thanks to Le Vieuex Nice Inn for being a part of wonderful memory of my trip.
- Christina (8/5): great transit hotel - they had a car service to and from the hotel, my family of 4 spent a late arrival for the night before leaving early in the am. it served the purpose and was pleasant.
- Rfamily820 (8/5): Convenient transit stay - The hotel has it's own limo for airport pick up at a reasonable price. Just email them to pre-arrange. Reasonable room charge that already includes breakfast. The hotel manager Ahmed and his staff are very friendly and helpful.
- Habib Kidaji (8/5): close to the beach and shops around - It was a wonderful experience and the staff are very helpful.
- Danny (10/5): Good service and location - Perfect location for an overnight stay on Male before heading out to your resort island. Our flight arrived late in the evening and it make a big difference not having to take the boat shuttle to Male for your hotel. This hotel is located on the airport island which is right next to Male and connect by boat shuttle. Ahmed is very helpful with the pick up at the airport and transfer back to the airport next morning to catch your transfer to the resort. Good value. Nice little hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a lovely property and the property owner and manager were quite charming and accommodating. I was there for business, and the internet worked extremely well. The only downside is there only a few taxis that are able to provide transportation to the airport, but the hotel owners can't control that. You just need to make arrangement at least several hours in advance. However, it is just a block a way from the beach.
- Omier (6/5): Double like - I stayed at this hotel just 1 night really they have a very good stuff ,,I felt that am staying in my home ,,
