“This hotel stands out for its attentive staff, who go above and beyond-even meeting guests at the airport. The rooftop restaurant impresses with views and diverse dining options, though the area's immediate surroundings can feel a bit worn. Overall, I find its blend of service and amenities a practical choice for stopovers or short stays in Malé.”

the airport transfer was on time, acceptable.

The prayer calls from the nearby mosque woke me up around 5 am every morning. The hotel provided earplugs, but they did not help much. the sound insulation seemed nonexistent. it was like being in the front row of a loud concert.

The airport transfer was smooth. The host greeted me with a refreshing mango drink, it was a nice touch. I also had dinner at the rooftop restaurant. The meal was one of the best I have had.

The electronic light switches emitted ambient light. It made the room not very dark.
