10/10

I stayed for a week during a conference. The hotel staff is exceptionally hospitable. I got the feeling that they genuinely care. They helped arrange a diving trip and book taxies. Airport pickup, laundry service, and breakfast were all satisfactory. The room was basic but clean and functional. The location is great too: close to the fish market and there were plenty of stores around. I highly recommend this place.

Very friendly staff, a very good and plentiful breakfast, and excellent food in the bistro. All in all, highly recommended for a few nights. The location is due to the architecture of Malé.

We arrived late at night and found this to be a fantastic hotel for a night stay before checking into our Maldives resort. The hotel was clean, with all amenities we expected and more. Breakfast was more than what we expected.

Our parents' room had water dripping from the air-con, thus they had to move to another floor. Airport transport and breakfast are included, nothing more to complain about for a transition hotel.
