Malé Hotels with Breakfast

I was traveling with two older children, so I booked connecting rooms. Compared to other transit hotels, this one was much more affordable and offered great value for money. The rooms were overall very new, clean, hygienic, and odor-free, which is the most important factor for a transit hotel. However, the hotel's location is in a small alley, making it impossible to find a taxi on your own; you have to get out and walk a few dozen meters to reach it. They offer a pre-booked taxi service, initially quoted at $15 per ride, but they gave us a discount, so it was only $10. When we arrived, the connecting rooms weren't available, but they gave us two rooms across from each other at the original price, which was very trustworthy of them. I didn't see anyone holding a sign at the airport, so I asked the airport information desk, and they helped us call the hotel to successfully find our pickup. The hotel front desk was very enthusiastic in helping us contact our resort hotel and confirmed all the seaplane flight numbers, times, etc., in detail. They were very helpful and finally gave us a detailed note with all the information. I loved it. Highly recommended, it's an excellent transit hotel – clean, quiet, and good for sleeping, with airport transfers and a great price. Definitely worth recommending.

The hotel is conveniently located near several attractions, including the fish market, national museum, and mosque, all within a five-minute walk. However, light sleepers should be cautious, as the surrounding environment can be noisy. Pigeon cooing, calls to prayer from nearby mosques, and construction noise significantly impact sleep quality. The hotel itself is older, and the facilities are quite dated. The minibar only offers complimentary water and tea bags. The bathroom lacks air conditioning, and the shower stall only has a curtain. The toiletries provided are of poor quality, so it's best to bring your own. On the bright side, it was relatively clean. Several power outlets were loose and didn't charge devices properly, requiring a travel adapter. There were no outlets near the bed. The sofa bed was sunken in the middle and very uncomfortable. The dining experience was subpar. The dinner buffet was awkward, with limited options, and the semi-open grill left a lingering smell on our clothes. Breakfast was a combination of à la carte and buffet. The à la carte options were quite good, but the buffet part was, again, disappointing. Our airport pickup took 15 minutes to arrive, and I paid an additional $15 for private transfer. The return trip to the airport was a shared, complimentary service.

I booked Star Shell for very first time as a resident who working and living in Maldives via trip.com. Price is reasonable. The check in was quick and simple. Staff were very helpful. The room is lovely. However, if you are sensitive to the noise then I am not recommended, because you can hear the car noise from road. My room got lonely view far from sea and shade from tree. Very basic amenities provided as dental kit, bath amenities attached in bathroom. I wish to extend my stay directly with property as my bf able to fly to see me after his work, but as per property rules if you don’t have marriage certificate then it won’t be allowed to proceed. I understand, but nothing was mentioned so I won’t recommend to any expats in the Maldives. Overall just okay for transit night before fly out or to go other island.

I highly recommend this transit hotel; this is my fourth stay here. Before the pandemic, it was just average, but now it's been renovated and has reached the standard of a domestic budget hotel. Anyone who's stayed in a transit hotel in Malé knows how significant that statement is! Plus, the service is excellent. And the restaurant on the 7th floor is an amazing surprise, far exceeding my expectations! If you arrive in Malé at night, don't bother looking for other restaurants; just head straight to the 7th floor for a hassle-free and delicious meal.

Just a moment after we entered the door of Hotel Flora we were treated to drink a fresh mango juice and wet towels to wash our faces and hands. We spent less than five minutes to complete our formalities, personally guided to our room by a lovely receptionist who fully informed us about all necessary info on Male and local vendors. The suite we accommodated to our surprise was like an apartment: a bedroom , a bathroom, a living room with sofa, two TVs and a fridge. In the morning we enjoyed our breakfast, simple , but tasty, additionally we asked the waitress to cook omelette for us , which we got it ready in 5 minutes. Each hotel employee we met , expressed his/her respect and politeness. The location is quite convenient, easy to reach supermarkets or cafes on foot, it is around 10 minutes walk to Ferry ⛴️ Terminal if you plan to continue your voyage to the islands, inside of the waiting area you may find the ferry schedule and the booking office. We left the hotel with positive feelings and full satisfaction. Thank you , Hotel Flora❤️💜💛🌸😊

I had a really pleasant stay at Zan Lodge, and it honestly lived up to what I was hoping for. From the start, things felt easy and well-organized. One thing I really appreciated was the free airport pick-up and drop-off. It made arriving and leaving so much less stressful, especially after a long trip. The room itself was just what I needed—clean, comfortable, and relaxing. It wasn’t overly fancy, but everything was well-kept and thoughtfully arranged, which made it easy to settle in and feel at home. The bed was comfortable, and I was able to rest well each night. Breakfast was another nice part of the experience. The food was good, and I liked that they included local dishes on the menu. It gave me a chance to try something different and added a more authentic touch to my stay. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, which made mornings something to look forward to. What stood out the most, though, was the staff. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. They made the atmosphere feel warm and genuine, not forced. Whether I had a question or needed assistance, they were quick to respond and happy to help. Overall, Zan Lodge is a great place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and kind hospitality. I left feeling happy with my choice and would definitely recommend it to others.

The room size was decent, and it even had a small balcony, as we were placed on the second-highest floor. However, the room's interior still had a guesthouse-like feel, and the sea view was practically nonexistent. The doors closed very loudly, which could lead to noise issues affecting sleep. The breakfast area, on the other hand, offered a much better sea view and had a more modern and appealing decor. Complimentary round-trip airport transfer service: Yes, it's available, but I'd strongly advise paying extra for a private car service for pickup or taking a taxi on your own. This hotel is extremely popular with Chinese tourists; one Coaster bus couldn't even fit everyone. I ended up waiting a full forty minutes before the vehicle departed for the hotel. My mistake for not planning better.

First impression was quite good, the check in was quite fast but it's not very easy to find the reception as it's behind a cafe. It was weird that the 6$ tax can be only collected in use, they don't accept their own local currency! I was given the room 502, which is on the ground floor on the back side. The employee who showed me to the room first tried to open another room by mistake which was funny for me but not funny for the guests who were inside. The room is quite small but there are quite many closets. There us something like a balcony but it's covered from all sides. There is kettl and tea, coffee. The bed was good, ac worked fine. I was given a code to access wi fi but it worked for 1 device only. In the evening the water in the shower was freezing cold. In the morning it was very hot ( I found the probable switch for that but I'm not sure how it works as I didn't ask anything). I woke up about 6 am because of strong smell of tobacco. At about 11 am a horrible construction noise started. They offered a transfer back to the airport, but didn't say the price, just ”it's the same as taxi”. So I paid 85 rufiyas for a shared transfer ( it was 80 rufiyas for a taxi from the airport). The driver kindly walked me to the transfer counter that I had to find. Overall: ok for a night. The airport is 10-15 minutes driving, the sea is opposite the road.

No sea view, except from the top small swimming pool. Service was great, with good English skills. Located in a busy street, but walk distance to most things. Very small rooms for a really high price! Bed was really hard, and not suitable without waking up many times a night with backpains. Also wonder why the housekeeping cart always was outside our room for almost 2 days.. Very annoying! Next time I would consider other options.

Nice and easy location with nice friendly staff and good amenities.
