Hotels near Israhvehi Maizaan, Malé

This is my 2nd stay at Tourist Inn... Oh, as a matter of fact, my 3rd stay because I decided to extend another day because of return flight was very late night and it was pass the check out time. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed the hospitality of the staff - both Nawaz (the owner) and the workers. Once again, a true gesture of hospitality and going above and beyond when Nawaz picked me up from the jetty from my trip to Maafushi and took me to the jetty again to catch the airport ferry during my departure. He graciously offered me his bus pass for by day of exploration of the nearby Hulhumale - which made be practically experience various modes of transport in Male City - motorbikes (riding in tandem with him), cab, public bus (which was a very decent and on time), and the airport ferry. It was truly a cultural experience in Male, which I fancy, Additionally, just like my first stay at Tourist Inn, the room (4th level) was immaculately clean. Other details worth mentioning are: -warm shower -generous unlimited free wi-fi and was considerably fast (by my standard) -shared kitchen spotlessly clean with basic cutlery -coffee and tea in the room with an option to use Keurig -welcome fruits during my second stay which I love since I am vegetarian -good channel selections particularly local channels which I love for cultural experience -with a lift considering the facility is small but cute. I purposely avoided the lift for exercise. -great place to experience the local culture since the hotel is in the local area and very accessible to all shops, groceries, restaurants, bus stations, jetties. I love walking and the location has made me work out and enjoy the Maldivian culture as I walk around Male. -prompt in responding to questions and needs .... WhatsApp is truly a great tool!!! So many things to say about Tourist Inn... don't hesitate just book it in your stay in Male for great cultural experience. The hotel is well secured. Maldives is safe nation.

Meets expectations. It has air conditioning, which is very important for the Maldivian climates. Price accordingly. The bathroom was not in the room but separate, although it is for private use of the room, meaning it is not shared with anyone. The room is small but perfect for a night before the trip. Excellent location. Good airport transfer service.

Clean, comfortable rooms in the centre of Male. A great option for a good value stay on the island. Nice extra amenities and comfortable communal seating areas, with balconies for a view of the city beneath. Would definitely look to stay again when passing through.

After a bad experience this holiday booking somewhere on the other island opposite Male for our forward journey, I was getting my hopes up! But upon arriving at Somerset we were greeted with smiles, a drink and cold towels. Not to mention the lovely driver who gave us some information on the city during the drive from the airport. The hotel, by any standard, ticks all the boxes! The restaurant has the best food and after walking around the street we decided we wouldn’t eat anywhere else. The staff go above and beyond and were friendlier than the island resort we’d spent 5 days at. This was the first time we actually wanted to ‘tip’ the staff. The room has everything you need. Yes the air conditioner in the main room smells a bit but it’s the same in Bali. It can’t be helped with the humidity! And the other comment about the call to prayer noise, you’re coming to a country that has their own traditions and I can’t see why you wouldn’t be respectful of that. Thanks for a fantastic stay and I will definitely be recommending to other friends.

Hotel room is big and clean. Breakfast is good. I will book the hotel again next time.

I have never seen a more disgusting place. This cannot be called a hotel. Bed linen is an incomplete set. Instead of a blanket, a synthetic blanket without a sheet, a synthetic towel. It’s like you’re in a barn: everything is tattered, there are traces of leaks, everything is completely miserable and destroyed at the price of a European hotel. Everything evokes a feeling of disgust. I don't recommend it to anyone.

It feels quite close to Male Airport, take a taxi and cross a bridge, then shuttle in the alleys, it takes about 10-15 minutes to arrive. The boss is a German who has lived in the Maldives for more than ten years. Two days before the arrival day, the boss Thomas began to contact us by email, including when we arrived, how much luggage, how many people and so on. After customs clearance on the day of arrival, Thomas' staff has already picked up the guests with a sign at the hotel entrance (free pick-up service is included in my reservation). He greeted us at the door before arriving at his small hotel. Very polite and caring. If there is no problem with your communication needs, the boss Thomas will give you a lot of tips for traveling on the island, such as how much local currency is appropriate to exchange, what local regulations are there, and so on. It is very important that this hotel should be the best Thai restaurant on Male Island. Very authentic thanks to the owner Thomas should have some stories in Thailand, there is no gossip about the specifics. If you eat a meal in person, the boss will recommend and serve you personally. Don't order too much. The next day we went to the resort island. It was a very pleasant day to stay in this hotel on Male Island. It is very convenient to buy swimming goggles, clothes, shoes and other necessary items in the hotel. In Muslim countries, alcohol and tobacco are prohibited, you can ask the boss.

The hotel like an apartment, perhaps it was an appointment before. The hotel is clean and is located in the center of Male City, easy to find the hotel and convenient to go around the area. The price was excluded breakfast, my friend and I then ordered breakfast to be deliver to the room and was taking an hour to be delivered to the room. Beside the breakfast service the rest was fine. Friendly staff and willing to help you to find a taxi, please ask the fee to taxi driver first before jump in to the taxi as the price way expensive then supposed to be.
