Dream Relax Inn

Good place to stay for a night while waiting to transfer to one of the islands. Basic breakfast provided. Friendly staff, comfortable but basic room, reasonable price for Male.

The first picture advertised for this hotel is showing the pool, which was the only reason we booked this hotel (we were looking at cheaper hotels to stay at as we were only staying for one night. However when checking in, the staff informed us that we have to pay (per hour and per person) to use the pool. This was not stated anywhere in the booking page or fineprint information for this hotel. Also the beds were not comfortable

I was originally booked into Dream Relax, but was moved due to the quieter location of this hotel which is off the main street. Literally a 20 second walk to the beach, the location is fantastic. All the staff are helpful, especially Shahadat who really looked after me (a credit to the company). The rooms are basic (but nice), but that's the price you pay. The only downside was that they advertise a pool on site...it's NOT INCLUDED in your price. The cost to use it is MVR $350 per hour (about US $22). I was excited to see the pool on arrival but was disappointed that I had to pay (I would have used that EVERY day if it was free). The days are hot and I asked on several occasions if I could use it just for 10 mins to cool down after coming back, I was told every time I'd have to pay one hour regardless how long I used it. This was a huge let-down for this hotel.

Ordered fried fish with hot rice noodles and a milk tea, got dried fish, cold noodles and a milk coffee. Completely wasted tasteless fish as if it was refried. Noodles offered cold. No spices whatsoever. AVOID !!!

Simple and friendly. Why go to the fancy resorts on remote islands where you will be trapped and not able to experiencfe the local culture and hospitality, when you can stay right in the middle of the city at this place. The hotel offers adventure day trips too, so you can even pay extra and go to the resorts for a pool day trip, snorkling or other water sport activies, so theres no need to book a long trip to the resorts. The city is really safe. Its quiet and the hotel service was really friendly. DO NOT JUDGE THE POOL BY PICS!! the pool is actually REALLY clean and cool! The pictures kinda looked a little bad, but the pool was very clean, its just the lighting in the picture its actually really cool you can play music in the pool room. Pool costs extra, its private reservation.

Place was small , bed and pillows were not comfortable, staff was good.

the resort is very big. The rooms are more beautiful in reality than in the photos. The staff is very professional and experienced, and they all speak good English. there is a wide range of activities on the island and also many different restaurants. The only thing I would have to complain about is that it is simply expensive here.

The staff was so kind and accommodating! Loved this stay. Newly renovated and super close to the beach.

Stayed for 2 nights in Mar'22 at this cosy hotel consisting of 15-16 rooms. Scores very well on location, cleanliness & amenities. e.g. Just 50 steps away from the lovely Hulhumale beach & also close to cafes, restaurants, public transport, malls etc. Recently renovated, so entire property is in very good condition. Amenities like 32" LCD TV, Mini-fridge, E-Kettle, Intercom, Wardrobe & luggage rack, balcony, comfy 8" mattress & clean linen, reasonably spacious room, elevator, a small swimming pool & Spa etc make it ideal for a 1-2 nights stay. Ease transfers to & from airport as well as Male. Cab charges 4$/60 MVR for Airport Trf & 5%/75 MVR for male City Trf. 1 Km walk to Jetty for Ferry Trf. Bus Stop just 2 min walk away. Check-in & Checkout experience was smooth. Hassan was prompt to address any queries during the stay. Scores poorly on Breakfast. They offer fixed Continental Breakfast comprising of 2 slices of Bread Toast, scrambled egg, Chicken Sausage, Jam & Butter, few cut fruits, juice & tea/coffee. Even our request for Tomato Ketchup couldn't be fulfilled. Anything extra is charged. Better book without breakfast as many good Cafes are located close by. They just have a basic kitchen for serving b'fast. Any food order is arranged from their other property located 100 m away. Also, the staff needs to be trained for managing the day to day functions of housekeeping, room-service etc. The newly appointed staffers, comprising of 2 Indians, Mahesh & Feroz, are pretty raw since they lack the hospitality experience & need to be trained for the basics of hospitality for enhanced interaction with guest's. Appreciate their politeness & willingness to help guest's in whichever small way possible. Overall, strongly recommended for a short stay while in Hulhumale for quick access to airport as well as the lovely beach & cafes.
