Not worth the money
Stayed here for one night to wait for the ferry in the morning. Very low standard, the card machine was out of order so only option was cash, WIFI not working and bathroom was very unfresh. Expensive in terms of what you get.

A Night Stay
It is recommended to stay here if you reach Male late at night and need a place to stay for just one night. It is about 10 minutes taxi drive away from the airport and the ride cost about 100MVR. The room was better and cleaner than I expected. The washroom is very clean too. There's a small bar fridge in the room and simple necessities like kettle, towels and hairdryer are provided. However, the only issue was that the blanket was very very thin. It was more like a cloth rather than a blanket. Other than that, the stay was satisfactory.

Average hotel with exceptional service
Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean room. Accommodations are rather small and more like a hostel. Still, the cleanliness is key to staying anywhere in Asia, including Male city.

Good location close to the airport ferry
Great cheap place if you need to stat close to the airport in Malé. Including the ferry it is approximately 15-20 minutes from the airport. Hotel was clean and good for the price.

Reasonable value in an island with limited choice
Location is near the airport jetty. Male island is not big and therefore not a problem getting around. Room is good size with attached bathroom. Good WiFi and hot water. Limited choice of TV channel but OK for a transit stay before going to resort island. Not aware that it is priced in USD and therefore thought it is relatively cheap. Nevertheless, not expensive considering all hotels in Male are not cheap.

Nice standard hotel
The location of the hotel is very close to the airport ferry, perfect for the overnight stay before a morning flight. Walking took me about 5min, and motor cyclists are driving crazy in Male.... The hotel is very standard, but trustworthy. The receptionist was very lovely and she even asked a staff to carry my heavy suitcase to my room. Free wifi was very fast too. There is nothing to complain about for the price I paid. Highly recommended for anyone who is staying in Male just for the night.

Nice hotel on a noisy street
This is a good mid-level option in expensive Male. The hotel is clean and nice overall, however the street it's on is a bit noisy and motorcycle noise can be heard from the room well into the night. It's only a 3 minute walk away from the airport ferry.

Basic but perfect for a 1night budget stay in Mali
While most, if not all, hotels in the Maldives are overpriced, this one was one of the most affordable and was exactly what I needed for a one-night stopover in Male before heading to Maafushi. The hotel itself is basic, but does the job... free wifi (very good connection), centrally located within walking distance to the Artificial Beach, mosque, Islamic Center, art museum, Sultan Park, and ferry port to the airport (a quick 5 minute ride for $1 USD). Staff were very friendly and met me at the airport to make my connection to the hotel easy breezy.
