We were booked into this ‘hotel’ by our travel company as an overnight before travelling to the islands. It is by far the worst that we’ve ever stayed in. The de-luxe (709) room that we had was so small that there was hardly room to put the cases. Cockroaches were running about in both the bedroom and the shower room.... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in September 2008 because our flight was delayed. It was recommended by the Italian captain of our seaplane who actually lives in Male. The hotel isn't that bad, but after returning from a 10-day trip in a great resort in the Maldives, you'll definitely feel the low quality, relatively poor service and... More

I was lucky I was only staying here two nights. The hotel has a small air-conditioned lobby. There were three staff on reception and even though I was the only peson checking in at that time it took about 20 minutes to check me in. Check-out was also a lengthy experience. The room as small. It had a tiled floor... More

After reading the reviews I was not sure what to expect so for my 22 day business trip to Male I only booked five days here. I just confirmed the next 17 days. The rooms are perfect for the business traveller. Bright lighting in the room, a TV that has a variety of channels, and the room was apparently painted... More

I didn't have any particular problems with this hotel, but I gave it only two stars due to the (lack of) quality of the rooms and amenities versus the cost. My room was clean, but infinitessimally small, with a tiny twin bed. The bathroom was also clean, but the towel (just one) was worn enough that I wondered if it... More
