Perfect for Me
Perfect for one night at the end of my holiday in the Maldives. Got off my live on boat at 7 am and walked to the hotel from the jetty on Hulhumale. The lovely staff were able to give me an early check in - having been WiFi deprived for a week I was happy to be on my phone for 15 minutes while they cleaned the room. Lovely spacious super clean room with ensuite bathroom on first floor. Little table and chairs on the landing overlooking the road towards the sea. Very comfortable bed and a delicious breakfast - my last Maldivian breakfast and staff organised a very reasonably priced taxi to the airport for me. The sea was close but I didn't swim. Very easy to walk along the beach and very close to local shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Would definitely recommend especially for a night in Malé after or before a holiday in the Maldives.The staff were always so lovely and price was very reasonable.

The rooms were smaller than expected, going by the photos on the website, a bit dated, but clean & tidy. The staff were wonderful, friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was nice and the view out the front was gorgeous! Thankyou

Location by the beach was nice but the place needs help. We had to fight ants all night and we were on the top floor. The safe didn't work. It was impossible to lock the unit from the inside! No elevator but the staff will carry your luggage. When we checked in, they asked us what time and where we would like breakfast. On our terrace at 9 was the answer. At 9:30 I called to ask where our breakfast was and they had no idea we were supposed to have it!
Bra hotel og hyggelig betjening.
Rommet var bra men toalett luktet fuktig/urin og det hjalp ikke å ha vinduet oppe for å lufte.
Plassering av hotellet er veldig bra, sentralt og med tilgang til mange spisesteder og butikker. Ligger rett ved kilometer med Strandlinje men siden den er offentlig Strand så er det ikke tillat med bikini på stranden.

Trevligt litet hotell på stranden
Man får vad man betalar för. För det priset så var det prisvärt. Ett litet hotell med små utrymmen, men väldigt trevlig personal och väldigt bra läge mitt emot stranden.
Finns en hel del restauranger inom gångavstånd. För övrigt finns ju inga attraktioner i trakten, förutom stranden. Mitt emot hotellet fanns ett ställe som hyrde ut vattenleksaker om man känner för det.

Vi har stannat en vecka och trivts jättebra på hotellet. Fin personal, god service dygnet runt. Bästa läge då hotellet ligger vid stranden. Det var bara kliva in i vatten när som helst. Vi bodde högst upp och hade terass. Det var trevligt att njuta av morgonstunder och sköna kvällar där.

Wir hatten ein Penthouse-Zimmer reserviert mit Terrasse. In der Tat war das einfach eingerichtete Zimmer viel kleiner als übliche Hotelzimmer und zudem mussten wir die Terrasse mit einem Nachbar teilen. Dieser war selber auch erschrocken, dass er die Terrasse teilen muss. Wir haben am nächsten Tag umgebucht und sind auf eine andere Insel. Das Hotel haben wir nicht so angetroffen, wie beschrieben und der Preis pro Nacht ist es nie wert. Wir waren sehr enttäuscht.

Friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms
I would give a 5 out of 5, for this one night stay except for some safety issues. The staff was great, room clean, all was as expected. The safety issues were that the bathroom window was falling out, and the stairs were uneven and slippery. My husband fell but fortunately he’s athletic and didn’t get too hurt. Overall it was a clean, easy overnight stay and I would recommend.
