Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a comfortable and cool stay at the hotel with friendly service but limited dining options. The location was convenient for airport transfers, although access for cars was restricted. The Dutch products in dining added a nice touch to my experience.
The hotel is wonderfully helpful and unexpectedly provided a smoking room. It may not be large, but it is really well fitted. The staff were very kind and even arranged for breakfast to go as we left early. They were also extremely helpful during our transit stay, assisting with pick-up, taxis, and ferry, making our trip stress-free. The location is really good, perfectly suited for our overnight stay, though a bit cramped with buildings close to the window. The dining experience was OK with limited options. Overall, a great spot with exceptional service, perfect for a short stay.
The hotel went out of their way to accommodate us, even allowing us to stay 2 hours longer after check-out time. However, the room, albeit clean, was small, and with just 2 opened suitcases, the whole floor was covered. On the bright side, the bathroom is spacious and immaculately clean.
The hotel's location is quite central, making it convenient for exploring the attractions in Male. The rooms, although small, were clean. The service was top-notch and extremely organized, ensuring a smooth experience from airport pickup to check out. The dining options were satisfactory, especially for vegetarians. However, the location near construction works was a drawback.
I'm very picky when it comes to accommodations, especially in Male City. The hotel had stylish details despite checking in late at 11 pm. It's conveniently located near the ferry to the airport, which was a plus for my stay.
I had a great time at the hotel! The deluxe room I stayed in was not only decent but very spacious, making it perfect for my needs. The modern and clean ambiance truly impressed me, and I would definitely choose to stay here again if I find myself in Male. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to make my transfer seamless, which was a pleasant surprise that I truly appreciated. The location was perfect, close to the park, Mosque, and important pier, providing easy access to key attractions. The dining experience was delicious, offering a great variety of healthy continental options. Overall, a wonderful stay with fantastic value for money.
The hotel offers a nice stay with ample rooms and friendly staff, but lacks natural light and some facilities; however, its location is superb close to key attractions.
The hotel rooms were spacious and suited our needs, with great amenities giving a spa feeling, but unfortunately lacked any view. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel considered and valued throughout our stay. The location was convenient for visiting key sites in Mali but could be challenging for cars to reach the hotel entrance easily. The dining experience was adequate with plenty of options but fell short of expectations in some aspects. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and great amenities.
The hotel offers small but very clean rooms with a separate bedroom, lounge, dining area, and bathroom. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The location is excellent, close to key attractions and eateries, though caution is needed when stepping out due to the lack of footpaths. The dining experience is satisfactory with a good selection of dishes. Overall, a comfortable stay with great value for money.
