Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in the heart of the city of Malé, making it a perfect spot with convenient access to the main square, fish market, fruit market, and just minutes away from the seaside. The rooms, although simple, serve their purpose well and are comfortable and well-appointed. The service provided, especially being met at the airport and taken back the following day, was delightful. The dining experience offers a range of European options with good coffee and various pastries. However, the location being very close to a mosque might be a consideration for noise-sensitive guests.
The hotel offers a charming stay with some standout features but also a few drawbacks. The rooms are cozy and inviting, but some lack natural light and have issues with humidity. The service is exceptional, going above and beyond to cater to guests' needs. The location is convenient for exploring the city, although noise from a nearby minaret can disturb early mornings. The dining experience is delightful, especially for breakfast. The facilities are solid, contributing to a pleasant overall stay.
The hotel was set back from the road, ensuring a quiet stay despite the lack of windows that could open. The rooms were spacious, a rarity in the crowded city of Male, although being on the 2nd floor and lacking natural light was a bit disappointing. The service was genuinely friendly and anticipatory of guests' needs. The location was central, making it convenient to explore Male on foot. The dining experience was exceptional with a European touch. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel may not offer a full 4-star experience, but it's a solid 3-star option. The rooms are on the smaller side, yet all acceptable, making me feel at home. The overall stay was simple but served its purpose well.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small but acceptable, dominated by a large four-poster bed with a bench at the end providing alternative seating. Although it didn't quite live up to its 4-star status, the room was still large and comfortable, albeit lacking natural light. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to anticipate our needs, making it one of the best service experiences I've had. The location was a bit tricky to find but was perfect, being walking distance to key spots in Male. The dining experience was delightful with a decadent selection of foods. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
