Pensione per dormire molto basic. Ci siamo fermati per dormire qualche ora prima del nostro volo. Personale molto gentile. Il posto é davvero vecchio e mal tenuto. Non lo consiglierei per soggiorni oltre la notte.
The property is located in Male' which is a pro in itself. The staff were friendly when checking in. They didn't do anything extraordinary to make you feel welcome, which is not common for the Maldives. The hotel lobby wall was water damaged and had mold. The smell was foul. On Friday during prayer time, I was locked in the hotel with no way to leave. The main door was locked. When the staff returned they proceeded to put the blame on me as the customer. They weren't even apologetic to the extent that it was said it was hotel policy to lock the customer inside of the hotel on Friday. This could of been solved with a simple apology, or leaving an extra key for the customer; however, they proceeded to ignore me for the rest of the stay. For this reason, its better to stay at another hotel.
We arrived very early in the morning but was still able to check in. This small hotel is conveniently located near the ferry terminal to the airport. Basic but comfortable.

Good stay except I was asked for flight details - I replied via Expedia and by email but didn't receive a reply so I had to get a taxi from airport instead of hotel shuttle.
Awasome services great staff location is good near beach

Check in went well..property itself- a bit of let down as i stayed in Kaani group before and what i have experienced was far from what i thought.. room was good size however bed side table looked like it survived a lot.. one of electric sockets was broken what for me is big health and safety risk.. rail on corridor was broken and when someone walked trying to hold it - it was making massive noise.. breakfast - im used to buffet not portion of food brought to table.. you cant choose breakfast.. you eat what is given..Wi-Fi doesn't work above reception level.. massive let down.. in overall i can give only 2 out of 5 .. good to stay for one night only but not worth the price in my opinion.. and does not matter if its Male or other place.. i think building need a bit of interior refurbishment :(
Very poor wifi connection ruined my entire business trip.

Ok for one night
Location, good.
Very quiet. It was nothing like the photos, and very tired.
We only had a night between India and The Maldives, so it was ok for that.
Reception staff were lovely, the cook quite grumpy.
Con
- Wifi only in the lobby.
- There are four floors no elevator and stairs too narrow.
- The room was so dirty seem like blood stains on the mattress.
Pros
- Close to the ferry but you will get lost first before you find the hotel.
Its located near the fery terminal, you just need to walk for a couple minutes.

Conveniently located to ferry from the airport. They let me check in early and were very friendly. Room was clean. Lacked a top sheet. No hot water. A fine place to overnight.
The hotel was exactly what we required. A budget stop over hotel close to the airport ferry. The room was adequate, clean and reasonably comfortable although it did smell somewaht musty. Still we were only there for 6 hours before catching a plane to the islands.
Hotel is near to the male city, however I asked from the staff to arrange a late check out for me because I came to the hotel 2am ,and same day 12 noon is my check out but I asked extra one hour but staff said that u must pay half of the room rate for that hour ,
I think that is not fare !
