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.

The room service and restaurant were phenomenal. Needed somewhere to stay after casting the island at one of the exclusive resorts for one night due to an early flight and boat service not yet available. It is near the main mosque for the island so you will hear the prayers throughout the day. The wife was excellent and strong enough for me to work remotely for my last night on the island. Would definitely stay again for a short stay.

The bedroom smelt of cigarette smoke, we were not aware of the hotel not serving alcohol, which is fine but should be clear on advertising due to it being a muslim country (other hotels nearby do serve alcohol). There was a mosque next door that called for morning prayers at 4:45 am, which again, I have no objection to but had we known we would not have booked there. The area is very run down and the front windows were smashed in, it didn't feel particularly safe. Honestly, this spoilt the end of a lovely holiday in the Maldives, would not recommend.
