The stay was very Good overall except for the Breakfast Cook was very non obliging arrogant and Not Responsive. We just wanted an alternate egg style. The Sri Lankan chef on the other hand was very Good. Please improve the Breakfast and get rid of that lazy chef and we will refer you more business

From prior to arrival, arrival to departure, their service has been excellent! It was easy to communicate with them in English on flight arrival, your resort communicates with Starry Beach and they will give you a wake up call and also arrange the transportation back to the airport for your seaplane check-in. The room is clean, shower is a wet bathroom which is common in Asia. Service is top-notch and they will help you as much as they can! If I am to stay in Male, I will go back to this property!

We booked a package that includes airport shuttle and breakfast.
We got to Male late around 10PM and is staying one night before we transit to our actual resort for holiday.
We were suppose to call 24 hours in advance to arrange the airport shuttle… which we forgot to do. We called the hotel from the information help desk at Male airport and is happy to hear that the hotel is sending a driver to pick us up. We met up with our driver after a 40 minutes wait and got to the hotel safely.
We were given a room on the 1st floor which require us to climb 2 sets of stairs. Our room use traditional keys that are hard to insert and turn. Once we are able to get in, the room is not exactly the same as we saw through the pictures. Room is small as expected but we can smell the toilet upon entering the room. Visually the room look ok… but the smell is hard to get over and made us question the cleanliness. Once we entered the bathroom, we found cockroach running around on the wall. This is when we know we should of made a better choice.
We stayed one night anyway as it’s late and we are leaving the next morning. We managed to sleep as we are pretty tired from our travels. We got up early the next day morning and found our ocean view room obstructed with lots of garbage and trees.
We headed to the cafe next door for an average breakfast. After breakfast, we arranged a ride back to the airport.
Overall, service is good. But not everything else. I will not re-visit.

We stayed for just couple of hours waiting for our departure. They offer free shuttle roundtrip to the airport. Hotel is by the beach. We walked around the city and did some souvenir shopping. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for short term stay.

This Inn is an excellent value for money place to stay in the Maldives.
The check in was excellent with a welcoming cool fruit drink and very freindly efficient staff
The room i was in had beach view and wes very commfy fair size and good facilities in both the room and shower room.
This was well maintained throu my whole visit.
the roof top sundeck was good but needs more sunbathing facilities , however i was out of season and the facilities were adequate for me.
Food was the only Point i could fault it is of reasonable quality and well cooked.the range of dishes avalible was the only fault and as i was staying for 10 nights it became limited for choice.
The staff realy make the hotel very homley ,they are fun efficient and happy to talk and answer your questions, deffo an asset to the Inn.
the area around the Inn has excellent range of activites to keep you busy and the cafes around are good value and quality.
Over all and excellent breakaway and chilled out Inn
Would recomend this for anyone going to Maldives and not keen on big resort hotels.
A great find and value Inn

This place was centrally located, near shops and restaurants. Room was small but comfortable. You don't get daily cleaning in this hotel and room was only cleaned once during my 15 day stay? I wouldnt recommend this for a long stay but somewhere to put your head for 3-4 nights max

Average at best
I will start with the positive. The view from the rooftop was breathtaking. One of the best locations to watch the sunrise (unblocked view). Since we had a night flight, we were allowed to check-out later at 3 pm. Thanks for that.
The Bad, hmm really bad. No hand soap was provided. When asked, we were given another bottle of shower gel. 1 star for that.
Also there were big cockroaches in the stairs. A definite No No for any hotel. 0 star for that one.
The room size was small, nothing special. The table in the room was barely standing. Could clearly see the legs broken. An accidental push and it would have come down crashing. 1 star for that.
