Pros:

В пешей доступности от паромного причала. Останавливались на 1 ночь перед ранним вылетом. Прямо под окнами мечеть. Номер уставший, достаточно чистый, в целом соответствовал описанию. Завтрак по нашей просьбе организовали ланч-боксами. Помогли поймать такси до аэропорта (ехать 10 минут).

Pros:

Die Lage von Hotel ist gut. Das Personal hat uns geholfen ein Taxi für den Flughafen zu bekommen

Cons:

Das Zimmer war schmutzig. Das Bad hat übel nach Abwasser gerochen und war sehr dreckig. Die Fugen hatten zum Teil Schimmel. Das Bett ist extrem unbequem, die Matratze ist sehr hart. Alles wirkte schäbig und stark abgenutzt.

Good location, convenient for short stay
Pros:

The apartment was just ok, in really good location, and let’s say good value for money. We stayed there just for one day waiting for the flight so for this need it was a good choice. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Since we were leaving very early in the morning, someone from reception called to check if we were awake, and we were also given prepared breakfast packages to take with us.

Cons:

It’s noticeable that the hotel’s furnishings and decor are no longer the newest — the furniture is a bit dated and the overall look feels slightly worn. However, this is not a major issue for a short stay.

Pros:

Местоположение и ВСЕ!
Размещение очень близко к остановке Парома до Аэропорта.

Cons:

Very misleading experience.

I booked a room with a city view based on the photos and description on Booking.com, but upon arrival I was given a completely different room. The room had no windows at all, which was never mentioned in the booking description.

It was extremely stuffy and uncomfortable. The air conditioner is placed directly above the bed — when it’s on, cold air blows straight onto you, and when it’s off the room becomes suffocating.

This room looks nothing like the photos advertised online. It honestly felt like a bait-and-switch situation.

I strongly recommend future guests to double-check what room they are actually getting before booking.

Lovely little gem
Pros:

The property is in a very convenient location. It is in Male City.
Plenty of shops, and restaurants are all very close by. There are many ATMs for those that need to withdraw cash in local currency. Most ATMs charge 100 MVR for cash withdrawal, however the commercial bank ( the yellow one) charges 30 MVR for withdrawals.
The Airport is also about a 10 minute drive away.

Cons:

For the price I paid, I can’t really fault the property.
I only wish we were given a bigger room as illustrated in the pictures.
