Our stay in the apartment was wonderful! It is a large apartment with three bedrooms, a large living room and a fully equipped kitchen. In the apartment of 3 bathrooms (showers) it is very convenient! In the bathrooms there is shampoo, air conditioning and shower gel; more than enough towels for all living.
Beautiful interior, which makes staying particularly pleasant. Big TV with different channels in all languages - this is estimated by our child 😊
On the first floor there is a playground, we played with the kid. Nice neighbors 😊
Imran, the owner of these bright apartments, made our stay comfortable and pleasant. Imran was in touch before settlement, helped us with taxi advice, called us a taxi to the airport. When we were inhabited, we had prepared clean bottled water and even cooled water. Thank you!
There are many different dishes in the apartment. There are tea, coffee, dry cream.
The apartment had a leaflet with contacts where you can order a delivery of food. When booking on the site there was useful information about where to go to dinner.
Imran told us where to buy fruit. We took the advice and tried various new fruits for us.
The apartments are near the beach. We enjoyed a walk and met the sunset. The views are amazing! The ocean is beautiful! The water color is magical!
Near the place of residence is Central Park. Goed to go - liked!
We really liked the city! We found a lot of beautiful for ourselves!
We stayed just one night before departure. But I'd like to stay in this beautiful city for a few days and better know it.
Dear Imran, thank you for your care and hospitality! We are very pleased to meet you! All you have the best!
P.S. I didn't take a photo in the apartments. But I have a lot of photos of the surroundings and this beautiful city.

Guest UserThey have the basics, but the water pressure is really, really bad. I was on the 6th floor, and I guess there's no booster pump up there because the water pressure was just awful. I had to wash my hair during the day when fewer people were around, because at night, when everyone was back, the water flow was just a trickle.
Also, it seems like they don't automatically clean the rooms. I had to call just to get the trash emptied.
The breakfast selection was also very limited.
Regarding the bathroom window, I wasn't sure if anyone was in the building next door, but if there was, then showering would probably be a full-on show for them.
If I ever need a layover again, I definitely won't choose this place. I had some expectations, but not being able to take a proper shower is just unbearable.

Guest UserThis hotel was perfect for our first night in the Maldives as a transitional stopover! The room was bigger and cleaner than I expected, and the service was warm and attentive! The airport transfer was seamless, and the rooftop view was a nice bonus!

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.

YeyidalaoyeAs a transit hotel in Malé, I give it full marks. They offer pick-up and drop-off, help coordinate your next day's itinerary and departure times, so you don't have to worry about a thing. The service is comparable to a resort island hotel. Although the rooms are small, they are fully equipped and much larger and better furnished than a HK$2,000 hotel in Hong Kong (I flew in from Hong Kong, so the contrast was striking). While the breakfast selection isn't huge, it has everything you need and is delicious – even much better than the second resort island I visited afterwards. This will definitely be my go-to transit hotel from now on.

Just_me_0610Our room was on the 4th floor with a city view, a bit old but clean. The water pressure was good, but for some reason, it was only lukewarm. Given the heat, it was actually fine – quite invigorating and refreshing!
The only minor issue was the lack of hooks in the bathroom for towels and clothes. It's a small detail, but it would have been nice to have.
Many reviews mention noise from both inside the hotel and the street. This is true. However, we were so exhausted that we slept like logs and didn't hear a thing.
The mattress and pillows were comfortable.
Regarding the transfer: They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off without any problems. On the way to the airport, they even made a stop at a pharmacy so we could get motion sickness pills!
Service: The staff were simply incredible! Such smiling, humble people. You could really tell they genuinely tried their best to please guests. Their attitude, attentiveness, responsiveness, and care outweighed any minor shortcomings.
It's so refreshing to find people like that who don't try to push things on you at any cost (unlike in Turkey and Egypt).
We were very satisfied with everything! Thank you so much! You guys are super! ❤️
Water and packaged tea are included; everything else from the mini-bar and coffee costs extra.
Breakfasts were decent, and we had dinner at the Red Snapper cafe in the basement, which we really enjoyed.

They actually let me check in earlier and even though I didn’t spend many days here I got a say the place is clean and the stuff is nice. Very helpful.

kelkonsStayed here for a night with my friend before we headed to the resorts. The exterior of the hotel looked nice and modern, and the receptionists helped us with our luggage. Checked in was 2/3pm and we arrived early, had to come back in a while since the room wasnt ready but not a big issue. Located next to the beach, we could easily walk over to the beach and shops. One thing would be how there was no hot water and we had to shower with cold water. And had also encountered a small cockroach... But overall the room was spacious, could easily have our luggage lying openly and still had space to walk around, and had an outdoor balcony (but shared with your neighbor, so will be awkward if you happen to see your neighbor outside when you open your curtains).

Not worth the price and service!
We arrived in a room with foul smell, we requested to be moved to the next room where the smell isn’t so bad but every time we arrived from outside in to the new room, the strong smell of cigarettes is very noticeable.
Upon check in, we were informed that the breakfast is until 10am, but buffet were already removed by 9:30am.
The cereal bowl is kid size, only one glass of water as offered, no refill.
The lady in the restaurant who seems to be from Nepal was very polite, but it still doesn’t cover all the downside of our stay. No available TV in the room, and the bath room tissue is from the former guests.
