I had a great stay at this hotel! It was super clean and in a really convenient location. Getting around was easy, and the airport transfer service was a big plus—they were on time and made everything hassle-free. The staff was amazing—so friendly and always ready to help. Overall, a really comfy and pleasant stay. I’d definitely recommend it!

Is a very good hotel option to overnight stay Property is located close to the airport, our room in floor level 3 was very noise we can heard all the motorcycles passing outside, and the AC took longer to cool Down the room, room was clean, tidy very but this floor level need noise isolation on windows, personnel attention to guest is outstanding, airport shuttle was very good with very clean cars and very good driver, breakfast with good variety and delicious, laundry services very good, all street in male are clean but very crowded with motorcycles, pedestrians are not priority to pass first, is very risky walking at anytime.

We had an overnight layover and stayed at this hotel for 1 night. The staff was excellent and very friendly! It was so easy scheduling with them my airport pick up and departure. They had food service as well open late and we were thankful to get some good food too after a day of travel. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend.

great choice in Male

Complimentary airport pick up and drop off, service is above and beyond. The room is nice and clean, wifi is fast. less than 10 minutes from the airport. It is a great go-between choice before you arrive in one of Maldives islands. We arrived late so no more island transfers. It is a perfect hotel to stay in Male. Breakfast is also excellent as well.
