Terrible value for money compared to other places
Pros:

Proximity to the airport

Cons:

We had several issues at the hotel, which were surprising as all other places we stayed were more affordable and flawless!
- we ordered room service from the cloud restaurant, food was significantly delayed, which was fine, but when it arrived portions were small, items missing and what was there was freezing cold, this was sent back and placed in microwave which then made the meat inedible
- We were told we would have a breakfast to takeaway on the way to the airport, this never arrived and staff were not helpful.
- desk in room but no chair
- wallpaper peeling off the walls
- no shower gel or soap but two sewing kits
- staff were generally not very accommodating

Pros:

The staff is the best part of this hotel. Very polite and accommodating. After 2 nights, I didn’t wake up to the sound of the mosque at all. It didn’t bother me at all.

Cons:

The room looks weathered and would benefit from renovation. The cleaning staff does a good job cleaning the room but forgets to replenish toiletries. The laundry is rather difficult to arrange. Overall, I just didn’t feel like it was worth the price.

Cons:

The air conditioner blows directly onto the bed; it’s impossible to sleep with the windows open because of the noise, and there’s a mosque nearby! If you open the windows, the mosquitoes get in. We barely slept at all the night before our flight.

Pros:

Gutes Hotel, um nahe am Flughafen zu sein bei frühem Abflug, wenn man es von der Insel sonst nicht rechtzeitig schafft. Alles super sauber, gutes Frühstück, problemloser Flughafentransfer

Cons:

Nebenan ist eine Moschee, von der man mehrmals tgl die Gebete hört trotz geschlossener Fenster. War uns aber bekannt. Man bekommt Ohropax vom

Lovely location and clean hotel would stay again is convenient to airport
Pros:

Room was cool staff are so nice and welcoming and helpful and gave us take away breakfast. Our balcony view overlooked the water and the 2 mosques which was lovely

Cons:

The sound from 2 mosques is quite loud and they play the call to prayers over each other so hard to hear anything and is on and off for a long time so hard to sleep

Excellent place to stay in Male City
Pros:

We had an excellent stay at Samann Grand in the Maldives. Everything was well organized, and the staff were exceptionally polite, friendly, and helpful. The check-in process was smooth and quick, and our return airport transfers were arranged perfectly on time using clean, modern, and comfortable vehicles.

Although the room was relatively small, it was clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and equipped with good facilities. We were also allocated a lovely room with a nice view.

The highlight was the restaurant on the 10th floor. The food was absolutely delicious, easily 10/10! Special thanks to Saman, our waiter, for his excellent service and helpful attitude. My appreciation also goes to the chefs and the entire kitchen team for the wonderful food.

As we had an early morning departure, we couldn’t try the breakfast buffet, but the hotel thoughtfully provided breakfast packs, which were nicely prepared.

Although the hotel is relatively small, the quality of service, cleanliness, comfort, and food made our stay truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Maldives. Thank you to the entire Samann Grand team for making our stay a pleasant one!
