A tidy place that was accommodated us well overnight. Staff were super friendly and organised reliable transport for us to the accomodation. The in house breakfast was perfect for what we needed. The place and room could benefit from a renovation but all in all we were happy.

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.

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 opphold

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.
