Pros:

I like all the facilities. The room is larger than expected. The location is very strategic for sight seeing, souveniur shooping and food hunting is all nearby. The food in the hotel restaurant was all delicious.

Cons:

I did not like the service from the woman staff at night. I guess she is from philiphines. She is cold and unpleasant to us and other customers. I've been experienced this for 2 night and ruined our mood. Please upgrade your service.

Best Hotel in Male’ 😍
Pros:

The service is incredible in there. From the quick response with booking to first interaction in airport was excellent. Upon arrival to airport everything was ready and we had a stress free moment. They was very quick and upon arrival to hotel, they welcomed us in the best way we will never forget. Even was lucky to get an early check in. The rooms was very comfortable, love the idea of plastic free environment. The balcony was not that well. The restaurant food was so good, especially the korean wings and prawns nasigoreng. Staffs there is the best. I will hope to come again and also i recommend this hotel to all.

Für zwei Nächte mehr als in Ordnung
Pros:

Sehr sauber. Wundervolle und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Organisiert und freundlich. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit viel Auswahl. Man hatte eine Möglichkeit einen Gym auswärts zu benutzen. Gym war gut.

Cons:

Die Wände sind hellhörig. Ohne Ohropax schwierig. Moschee in der Nähe und man hört jedes Gebet. Wenn jemand Nachts streitet hört man es auch.
Wir hatten Frühstück gebucht und Eines, aufgrund von früher Abreise als lunchbox bekommen. Nun ja. Ein Apfel, Kekse, Wasser und zwei weiße Sandwiches mit einer Scheibe Aufschnitt aus einer Scheibe Gurke ist wirklich ein Witz für den Preis.
