Guest Reviews
- Kian (1/5): Scam - Nice cafe downstairs Paid for room with free airport transfer then got charged and shouted at by taxi driver demanding money
- Deepak (4/5): -
- Gokul R Krishnan (9/5): -
- Md Mahedi (6/5): -
- Muhamad (2/5): - 1. When I was still sleeping at 10.45 o'clock in the morning, a housekeeping staff just came into the room without knocking or anything... even though the check out time was 12:00 when we checked in.
2. At that time there was a very noisy building sound. We were sleeping on the top floor. In the morning there was a noisy building sound that disturbed our sleep... and this is what made us feel uncomfortable And Feeling at a loss Because we pay 1.750 MVR
3. The price here does not match the price on the application or on the map. When we arrived, the staff asked for extra money. We didn't know what it was for. We paid using MVR money and they said They said we had to pay 20.20 for 1 dollar USD even though we checked on Google the USD price was 15.42 very bad... VERY BAD... Like fraud and when I asked the front office staff Why is the price that much? He said it's because the price is that much on the black market. Hey, you think I'm stupid..If you want to exchange money for USD, go to the bank, not the black market, unless you are a tourist...
4.When escorting me to the room... the officer just escorted me and told me to go upstairs by myself and the room that didn't have a number... I said oh okay... so? Where is the additional hospitality?

- Uzair (10/5): -
- Shivam (1/5): - Staff was very rude they asked extra money from the original booking they cancelled my booking and asked for extra payment, it was late in the evening unwantedly I stayed there because of late evening.
- Samjhana (4/5): - Location was ok but we didn't had breakfast Room condition
There was no tea coffee in the room and TV was not conneted
- Lubinska (2/5): - The view Staff's attitude, light coming through the curtains, rock hard bed, leaking AC
- Kayle (1/5): Very disappointed, it was fraudulent behaviour and plain neglect of standards and morals. - Nothing. They lied about everything Firstly, they said free airport shuttle to which there was nothing when I asked that day for a lift.
Secondly, on your website it said $45 usd plus $10 in taxes. I ended up paying $67 usd. Crazy money for the bad room. Thirdly, I requested breakfast the night before to be made for 7am for my departure, to which I woke up to find nothing had been prepared and when they were late for booking my taxi, they gave me 3 boiled eggs and 3 bits of bread. Absolutely ridiculous. I demand my money back as this was complete lying and the reasons I booked were not even offered in reality
- Lorena (6/5): - Als Übernachtung vor oder nach dem Flug völlig ausreichend, nicht aber um länger zu bleiben. Sehr nahe vom Flughafen, hat viele Restaurants, Cafes und Läden direkt um die Ecke. Zimmer sauber Sehr laute Umgebung, sehr eng das ganze Hotel, kein Aufzug, kein Strand zum benutzen in der Umgebung.
- a180002d59a97000d29b39996eeae682 (5/5): - owner is very nice and humble person Is he cleanliness ...bed sheet they didnt change for the entire number of days stayed there
- 1b529ac08b277069fb6433ffeb3583d1 (6/5): -
- c2bbdd35bcbc7252035a97b6778e587b (1/5): - Rooms are so small . It was not worth the money, the staffs aren’t very helpful. We literally called reception many times but no one answered.
- Hossin (1/5): -
- Georges (1/5): Bad experience alltogether. Even for someone who has low expectations, you'll be surprised - Nothing, really Unresponsive and unprofessional staff. Bad food / breakfast (also for some reason they cannot boil eggs for you. You have to settle with the bad, very oily omelette). Wifi comes and goes, and is slow (we had better connection on the boat in the same country, in the middle of nowhere). Shower water and tap water are dirty. Yes, dirty. They're of a yellow / brownish color. Window doesn't close properly so be prepared to hear all street sounds and smell what the nearby restaurant is cooking (no joke). For the price I paid, they were light years away from delivering anything close to decent services. I'm not the one to write bad reviews, but when staff are lazy, unprofessional and all of the above, i'm not gonna hold back.

- Justyna (1/5): Beznadziejny obiekt . - Po przybyciu na miejsce, poinformowano nas, że nie ma wolnych pokoi, ponieważ nie napisaliśmy do obiektu, o której godzinie dotrzemy na miejsce . Po 15 h lotu z dzieckiem musieliśmy szukać innego lokum. Nie polecam Chamska obsługa, zostaliśmy na lodzie . Zmęczeni po podróży, bez pomocy . Pan taksówkarz, który nas przywiózł do tego obiektu, pomógł nam znaleź nocleg .
- Rati (1/5): - Location and breakfast is good but main problem is there no lift facilities which is radiculous the present era also Maafushi when I was booked that time shown perfectly all okay but when I reached at hotel that time they are allocated another room and ground floor which was very bad, that’s why so many people are diverted another company like Agoda etc from Booking.com,thanks
- Subrata (8/5): - Service was good.
- Wilma Isabelle (7/5): -
- olga (8/5): - Если оценивать отель по его уровню, то все хорошо. Мы брали его на 3 часа, просто отдохнуть перед полетом. Номер чистый, персонал хороший.
- Dariana (5/5): Лучше поискать другой отель - Расположение очень удобное, близко магазин и рестораны, набережная. В лобби можно попить кофе и перекусить Мы были всего несколько часов пока ждали самолет, но учтите, что идет ремонт, все слышно. Комната маленькая и не комфортная. нет лифта, чемоданы нам подняли, а спускать пришлось самим. Цена неоправданно высокая за этот отель..
- Sergei (1/5): Верните 70% моих денег за ночь без сна !!! - Ничего ! Всем, всем не вздумайте тут останавливаться даже на 1 ночь ! Владелец обманывает, говорит что ремонт будет с 9-11 pm. На самом деле они будут делать ремонт до 4 am . Если бы нам сразу сказали про ремонт мы бы пошли в соседний отель через дорогу ! Деньги возвращать отказывается! Завтраки пустые ! Одна пережаренная сосиска и типо омлет ! В номере все старое , половина не работает! Отель на реконструкции и нигде об этом не сказано !
- Dariusz (5/5): - Był to tylko przystanek przed lotniskiem i na taki przystanek się nadaje Bardzo maleńki pokój, bardzo głośno z ulicy, był czajnik ale nie było kawy/herbaty, nie było mydła do rąk, jako śniadanie na wynos dostaliśmy jajko , suchy chleb , dżem i masło bez noża, bez wody. Schody na korytarzu bardzo ciasne, ręczniki bardzo stare, pilot do tv bez baterii i klapki.
- Silvia (6/5): -
- Maja (4/5): - Lokalizacja i brak windy i halas
- Guilherme (5/5): Esperava mais, pelo valor buscaria outras opções - Quarto confortável e localização próximo a tudo, ok. O quarto escolhido era com vista para o mar, sendo que o recomendado pelo hotel ficava de frente para um telhado colorido, não é de fato de frente para o mar por ficar numa quina de esquina.
O pagamento foi valor a mais do que o booking recomendou na moeda MVR e fui pego de surpresa
Café da manhã básico e sem opção de escolha
- Andrew (6/5): Ok but wouldn’t stay again - Location for airport Charged extra 5% to pay by card on top
- Rita (3/5): Luogo di passaggio, va bene per una notte - La gentilezza dello staff L'angusta location, veramente inospitale

- EHTESHAM (4/5): - Only the location was good. The management was very poor. I booked a standard double room. Once I reached the hotel they provided me with a single room.
- Shafiqul (8/5): - Location Room to small
- Shafiqul (8/5): - Location Room to small
- Mohamed (1/5): The worst experience of my life
It's a false precedent, there is no hotel in the first place - I didn't like anything. It was a false reservation that wanted me to move to another site other than advertised and was not an honest person
It was a very bad experience
- miriam (1/5): Pessimi e truffatori - Niente Siamo arrivati in struttura ci hanno fatto il check in e pagare il prezzo prestabilito poi ci hanno detto che avevano avuto un inconveniente e dovevano cambiarci albergo ci hanno portato in una bettola piccola sporca piena di muffa non abbiamo accettato il cambio e ci siamo fatte ridare i soldi adesso comunicano che noi non ci siamo presentate
- Mohamed (8/5): -
- Sebastián (8/5): V pořádku, doporučuji. - Čistý pokoj i koupelna
v blízkosti pláže
dobrá restaurace pod hotelem Málo zvukotěsné okna, šlo slyšet z venku opravdu vše a to je jediný co mě vadilo na tomto ubytovani.
- Hussain (9/5): -
- Ibrahim (1/5): -
- Abbos (10/5): -
- M Sikander Hayat (7/5): - Well they have a complimentary breakfast, which is good, the hotel is just near the beach so we liked it. There was a tv in our room, but no channels available, the Wi-Fi service is not so good.
- emran (6/5): - The reception guy was very friendly, very helpful, everything helpful... I remember the name but the Bangladeshdeah... then the Indian girl was very nice... Le camere troppe piccole
- MAHAMADOUN (8/5): -
- Pasham (4/5): Not worthy - Nothing TV not working, no telephone to call front desk

- Soufiane (3/5): -
- Jessica (7/5): -
- Farid (10/5): - Très bon rapport qualité prix et coller à la plage!
Beau restaurant à côté
- Arnab (7/5): -
- Mohamed (1/5): Do not recommend. Not honest policy. - Prime location. Next to the beach and plenty of restaurants around I had a very disappointing experience regarding payment at this hotel in Hulhumalé.
My Booking.com reservation total was USD 82. However, when I arrived, the hotel insisted that payment must be made in US dollars only. When I said I would pay in Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), they applied their own exchange rate of USD 1 = MVR 20, instead of the official government rate at the time, which was USD 1 = MVR 15.42.
As a result, I was forced to pay MVR 1,640 instead of the correct MVR 1,264.44, meaning I was overcharged significantly.
I raised this issue with the receptionist, who contacted the manager, but I was told that the hotel only accepts USD payments, which does not make sense given that MVR is the local legal currency. Applying an inflated, unofficial exchange rate feels unfair and misleading.
Guests should be clearly informed about this policy before booking. I would not recommend this hotel based on this experience.
- Tarek (6/5): -
- Roberto (6/5): -
- Noun (6/5): - The staff was good and friendly The price comparing to the place is overpriced and the charging plug next to bed is not working
There's no hand soap in bathroom
It mentions that it's sea view , i could barely see the sea through the window
Too much noises at late night and early morning
- Perera (5/5): -
- marekas (4/5): Poor conditions which could be easily fixed by a talented and enthusiastic manager - Close to the sea Smell so bad inside the room . Very very noisy at night time. Could hear every single scooter. Very busy road in the night time
- Ranji (10/5): Averege - Yes better everithing bur TV is not working
Good place to be there Nothing
- Petia (10/5): -
- Миронович (7/5): -
- Raisul (7/5): -
- Rifau (1/5): - Place is pathetic. I wonder how.... Can't even express my feelings. Worst experience so far
- Milan Tomer (7/5): - Location good I had a issue with hot water in room,it was dirty
- paul (7/5): no complains in general - the sign in, welcome staff the only negativ point was the breakfast, I feel that the orange included in the breakfast was not generous at all ( around 5-6 slice for two poeple) then my mother ask for more, I can feel the silence and the hesitation. the breakfast was not made with love and warmth ether, some of the morning lady staff were ''strange", look unfrendly, no smile or greeting and or distant and cold, I expect more professional behavior.
- Ammar (1/5): - Nothing at all because they don't have ethics There behaviour and staff. Always looking to grab money for free.
- Marta (1/5): Horrible - Nothing Different price that on my booking, with work permit they shouldn’t charge green taxes and they did so it was very expensive for the quality of the rooms, common areas and staff. Very bad service and communication, TV not working in the room, not clean room.
I work on the area so I’ve been some other hotels and can say it’s the worst in Hulhumale area.
- Niko (7/5): -
- Mustafa (10/5): -

- Daniel (10/5): -
- Jocelyn Nyasha (5/5): - I liked the location I was not feeling well and I wanted breakfast in my room,and they said I can order on WhatsApp but when you order on the phone they could ignore you .On WhatsApp,they view your messages and don't reply
And had to order food from other restaurants in Hulumale ,,who were serious and caring enough to come all the way from kilometres away to my room
- Nelli (3/5): Пока не кончится ремонт ездить туда не советую! - Расположение понравилось! Мы были в этом отеле два дня. Там идет капитальный ремонт на двух этажах, сверлили и долбили с утра до вечера! Ремонт будет идти ещё долго! Завтраки каждый день одинаковые омлет, сосиска, тосты, масло, джем и пол апельсина!

- Sandra Cristina (10/5): - Emplacement
- Suhail (1/5): -
- Víctor (8/5): Cumple para pasar una noche de escala en Malé - Bien ubicado, a 10 minutos en taxi del aeropuerto, recepción moderna, cama relativamente cómoda, desayuno incluido No tiene ascensor y las escaleras son muy pequeñas y estrechas, sigue en obras (ya lo había leído en los comentarios), la zona de las escaleras no cumple como para ser de un "hotel", parece un edificio de apartamentos baratos, y el baño es mejorable
- Adam (8/5): -
- Diego (3/5): -
- Froiland (9/5): - Location and price On the Web site it was saying that the renovation was done so no more noise. That was not the case. It was renovation going on in the higher floors and in the room next to me. Smell of paint and silicon. Noise from hacking from 10am to about 4pm.
- Mealea (8/5): -
- Rishi (6/5): - Good location and decent room The property is still under maintenance/construction/renovation.
- Alikulova (6/5): -
