We loved our stay here. The staff are so kind, friendly and helpful. We didn't expect someone to be there at the airport waiting for us to show us to our taxi but there he was and he greeted us again when we returned to the airport the next day and he showed us the way in to the airport. And the taxi transfer was perfect - friendly, helpful and on time if not early which was excellent. it's only about 5 minutes to the hotel from the airport. The area is nice to walk around and lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The staff opened the breakfast early for us as we had an early flight which was much appreciated. Nice breakfast with stunning views from the 10th floor restaurant. The roof top terrace is awesome too. We felt very looked after here. Overall a very enjoyable stay, thank you.
Great spot! Very convenient and comfortable and clean, and excellent customer service. Very good rooftop restaurant was an added plus. Would stay again!
Booked last minute due to flight delays, had a lovely meal on the roof top restaurant.
Nice welcome, nice hotel, free transfer to airport.
Whats not to love
All staff very friendly and very helpful could not do enough for you. The food here was excellent in the roof top restaurant. Hotel is in a very good position for town
- short walk. Male is never going to be a atol but it suits us as we dont do beaches & water activity A relaxing & intersting break in a beautiful part of the world
We stayed in the super deluxe double room with ocean view and balcony. The room was small for 2 people but considering the size of the island itself, it’s probably understandable to have hotels on a smaller scale. The balcony view was really nice as we could the sea from our room and nearby residential area.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel gets more visitors than I would have thought. The lift was an issue as it worked very oddly. It would take some time for it to arrive, as it would either go all the way to the top floor or all the way to the bottom floor before arriving at yours.
The restaurant on the top floor had one of the best menus in Male and the price was reasonable. Breakfast options were not plentiful but I would imagine the majority visitors stay here for a short time, so was not a huge issue for us. The road outside the hotel is narrow and motor bikes do drive by, so do keep an eye out.
All the main sites are within walking distance and can be easily reached via the main or side streets.
I didn’t receive any benefits for being a Expedia VIP member (not surprised anymore - Expedia really needs to review this supposed perk as i believe I have only gained the rewards 2/10 times!!) Most hotels always claim the free upgrade room is not available and never offer any other perk to replace room upgrade.
A great place for an overnight stay before an early flight. The restaurant on the roof had tasty food that was well priced. We took the included walking tour which we really enjoyed.
Excellent service from driver and front desk staff. Even arranged city tour for us. Right by two interesting mosques great view from restaurant at 10th floor
Arranged breakfast for our departure. Most accommodating staff. Very friendly
The room service and restaurant were phenomenal. Needed somewhere to stay after casting the island at one of the exclusive resorts for one night due to an early flight and boat service not yet available.
It is near the main mosque for the island so you will hear the prayers throughout the day. The wife was excellent and strong enough for me to work remotely for my last night on the island.
Would definitely stay again for a short stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The bedroom smelt of cigarette smoke, we were not aware of the hotel not serving alcohol, which is fine but should be clear on advertising due to it being a muslim country (other hotels nearby do serve alcohol). There was a mosque next door that called for morning prayers at 4:45 am, which again, I have no objection to but had we known we would not have booked there. The area is very run down and the front windows were smashed in, it didn't feel particularly safe. Honestly, this spoilt the end of a lovely holiday in the Maldives, would not recommend.
Very nice, well organized, staff excellent, easy pick up to and from airport (MOST IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE TO CATCH THE SEA PLANE)
GOOD RESTAURANT AS WELL!
Second time here and there will be a third
