All staff very friendly and very helpful could not do enough for you. The food here was excellent in the roof top restaurant. Hotel is in a very good position for town - short walk. Male is never going to be a atol but it suits us as we dont do beaches & water activity A relaxing & intersting break in a beautiful part of the world

We stayed in the super deluxe double room with ocean view and balcony. The room was small for 2 people but considering the size of the island itself, it’s probably understandable to have hotels on a smaller scale. The balcony view was really nice as we could the sea from our room and nearby residential area.   The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel gets more visitors than I would have thought. The lift was an issue as it worked very oddly. It would take some time for it to arrive, as it would either go all the way to the top floor or all the way to the bottom floor before arriving at yours.   The restaurant on the top floor had one of the best menus in Male and the price was reasonable. Breakfast options were not plentiful but I would imagine the majority visitors stay here for a short time, so was not a huge issue for us. The road outside the hotel is narrow and motor bikes do drive by, so do keep an eye out.   All the main sites are within walking distance and can be easily reached via the main or side streets. I didn’t receive any benefits for being a Expedia VIP member (not surprised anymore - Expedia really needs to review this supposed perk as i believe I have only gained the rewards 2/10 times!!) Most hotels always claim the free upgrade room is not available and never offer any other perk to replace room upgrade.

Modern hotel with nice staff and good service. Food was good. Beds are small and the noise around the hotel is very loud.

Information about the area

Male, Maldives
Malé is the capital and most populous city in the Republic of Maldives. With a population of 133,412 and an area of 5.8 square kilometres it is also one of the most densely populated cities in the world. The city is geographically located at the southern edge of North Malé Atoll (Kaafu Atoll). Administratively, the city consists of a central island, an airport island, and two other islands governed by the Malé City Council. Traditionally it was the King's Island, from where the ancient royal dynasties ruled and where the palace was located. The city was then called Mahal. Formerly it was a walled city surrounded by fortifications and gates (doroshi). The Royal Palace (Gan'duvaru) was destroyed along with the picturesque forts (kotte) and bastions (buruzu) when the city was remodelled under President Ibrahim Nasir's rule in the aftermath of the abolition of the monarchy in 1968. However, the Malé Friday Mosque remains. In recent years, the island has been considerably expanded through land-filling operations. Over the years, Malé has been the center of political protests and milestone events.
