UMET Seaview Hotel with Free Airport Pick up and Drop T&C Apply

One room was given seaview while other room was not given seaview. Getting taxi from the hotel was difficult due to busy road.

Rooms were a little small

100% overpriced. Very disappointed. First, the free Airport transfer: We arriived at night abd waited for 15 minutes at the unmanned counter they told us to go to -- and then when we finally found a number and called them, they took 15 more minutes to arrive, and the guy took his time walking up to us, typing on his phone. Didn't even apologise.
Second: the photos are deceiving. The "Deluxe Suite" is a joke: tiny and cramped. The space around the bed is so small that you have to walk sideways to get anywhere. The bathroom is badly designed and also cramped, and the lighting abysmal. Oh, except the air-con is lit up like a stadium, so there's that.
And the bed itself is for hobbits. We are both short people, and my husband's feet were hanging off the edge.
Third, the room was meant to have a Sea View -- but what they don't tell you is that you're on a noisy main road, overlooking buildings, etc. The sea is in the distance, or, if you hang over the miniscule balcony and look to the left, you'll see the industrial "beach" nearby.
Lastly, their response when i phoned Reception to ask for a toilet roll. (All they'd given us was half a small roll. We'd arrived late and had to get up early for our flight -- and I didn't want to bother anyone at 4am in the event we needed more loo paper.) The receptionist abruptly told me Housekeeping has gone home, so "Is it urgent?" I was so taken aback, I almost replied: "No, not urgent... yet. Shall I call you from the toilet seat at 4am instead??" Honestly. Unacceptable. NOT recommended.

The sea view is mediocre. The surroundings, including the hotel entrance, are uncomfortable. However, this is practically the case in Male. The public beach is dirty, in a rotten, artificial backwater, and not suitable for normal swimming.

The airport transfer service was poorly organized. Although we had booked a King Room, we had to travel together with the luggage in the transfer vehicle, which was uncomfortable and disappointing. In addition, the bed sheets in our room were not clean, and some parts of the room, especially the balcony, showed signs of mold. Overall, the quality of the room and service did not match the price we paid.

No hot water but i didn't mind because it was so hot outside...

Res a destacar.

Nothing it was all good

Abbiamo scelto di soggiornare a Malé solo per la vicinanza all’aeroporto, ma sinceramente non lo consiglio. La città ci ha deluso molto: l’abbiamo trovata caotica, sporca, piena di traffico e smog, e per niente rilassante o piacevole da visitare. Inoltre non ci siamo sentiti particolarmente accolti e abbiamo percepito un ambiente piuttosto chiuso e poco turistico.

Secondo me conviene assolutamente spendere qualcosa in più e soggiornare direttamente in un resort oppure su una delle isole vicine all’aeroporto, molte delle quali sono comunque comodissime da raggiungere e offrono un’esperienza completamente diversa. Tornando indietro eviterei sicuramente di fermarmi a Malé.

Street noise, but I managed it with an earplug.
