Two nights in Malé

Pleasant stay in a pleasant hotel. There isn't much to do on the island of Malé - purpose of my visit was to recover from flight/s & time zone changes prior to going on SCUBA holiday. There is a very good food market just up the road. You can walk around the island in less than 90 minutes. Very safe island, but not much for tourists.

All good EXCEPT the wifi

Nice big rooms and decent buffet breakfast. Main problem was the wifi which did not work much of the time. This was very frustrating to say the least and I needed to go out to nearby restaurants just to send messages or plan yours. I hope they fix this soon.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable room. While it's a bit away from the main tourist attractions, I had fun walking around the local area, especially since I didn't get hassled to look at shops or go into restaurants, unlike in the area where most of the tourist attractions and hotels are. Close to a good spot to watch sunset and watch the world cup once it's dark! Access to WiFi has a time limit, which is my only complaint as it wasn't clear in the booking information and the system doesn't allow you to log off, so you have to use your allotted time all at once (Of course, this may be me missing something). I would definitely stay here again if I go back to Male.

We stayed here for one night as we landed late and didn't want to spend a full night at our resort. It was good for this purpose, given 24h pickup. It isn't the most luxurious hotel, but it is comfortable enough and the staff are friendly. While it is pricey for what it is, it is standard for Maldives I suppose. If you need an overnight stay before heading to your resort, I would recommend this hotel.

Enjoyable stay

Good accommodation in Malé city, efficient hospitality was offered right from the pick up airport to the hotel. Spaces room, new bathroom and with all amenities. Breakfast was a selection of varieties of cuisines. Staff were very courteous and helpful. Location close to the beach, shops, eatery etc. thank you to the staff who work tirelessly to provide warm services. All in all I truly enjoyed my stay in beehive. Regards

Good transfer hotel

Big, spacious suite. Decor is outdated and could be changed. The food at the hotel restaurant was very good. However, the restaurant that the front desk woman recommended was awful. Communication via email and phone was poor; we had a mixup regarding the airport transfer. The area around the hotel is gross. Trash everywhere, constant construction, and not very walkable. I would not stay here more than one night due to the location. But the hotel itself is fine.

Excellent Hotel in Male, Maldives

Only good things to say about the Beehive, fabulous service from beginning to end of stay. The rooms are comfortable, but the staff at the hotel are really exceptional. We would definetly stay at the Beehive again. Very close to the Villingili ferry terminal and just a short taxi ride from the Male Airport Ferry terminal. Many local attractions and great shopping just walking distance from the Beehive. Thanks Beehive staff for a great stay
