Very friendly staff and value for money
Pros:

Room was good. The hotel provided airport transfers breakfast was good but need improvement

Cons:

The Rooms are not sound proof so the noise from other floors can be heard also even though the hotel has provided ear buds the sounds are bit distrubing

Pros:

The location is not bad (good for walks), even though it is next to two mosques. You can only sleep for a few hours. The breakfast staff were really nice.

Cons:

Either the bed sheets or the air conditioning was giving off a funny smell. Perhaps the air conditioning needs servicing.

Excellent Service, Great Location and a Very Pleasant Stay
Pros:

We had a very enjoyable stay at Samann Grand and would gladly recommend it to anyone visiting Malé.

What truly stood out was the exceptional service. Every member of the team was friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to help. We would especially like to thank Kuldeep, Himanshu, and Nisal, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their hospitality made a real difference and was one of the highlights of our visit.

The hotel’s location is excellent and makes it very easy to explore Malé, with many attractions, shops, and restaurants nearby.

The restaurant was also very good. We enjoyed the food throughout our stay, and the service there was just as attentive and welcoming.

The rooms are not overly luxurious, but they are comfortable, clean, and provide everything needed for a pleasant stay. One feature we particularly liked was the bathroom, which was beautifully designed and felt modern and inviting. The rain shower was excellent and added a touch of comfort after a day of exploring.

Overall, Samann Grand offers outstanding service, a great location, a very good restaurant, and comfortable accommodations. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others visiting Malé.
