We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in September 2008 because our flight was delayed. It was recommended by the Italian captain of our seaplane who actually lives in Male. The hotel isn't that bad, but after returning from a 10-day trip in a great resort in the Maldives, you'll definitely feel the low quality, relatively poor service and... More

I was lucky I was only staying here two nights. The hotel has a small air-conditioned lobby. There were three staff on reception and even though I was the only peson checking in at that time it took about 20 minutes to check me in. Check-out was also a lengthy experience. The room as small. It had a tiled floor... More

After reading the reviews I was not sure what to expect so for my 22 day business trip to Male I only booked five days here. I just confirmed the next 17 days. The rooms are perfect for the business traveller. Bright lighting in the room, a TV that has a variety of channels, and the room was apparently painted... More

I didn't have any particular problems with this hotel, but I gave it only two stars due to the (lack of) quality of the rooms and amenities versus the cost. My room was clean, but infinitessimally small, with a tiny twin bed. The bathroom was also clean, but the towel (just one) was worn enough that I wondered if it... More

Central Hotel in Male' has obviously changed to the much better! Rooms are now spotlesly clean, housekeeping is excellent, and the young people in the front office courteous, efficient, service minded and speak excellent English. All staff is very friendly and service minded as well. Wireless Internet access is free of charge. The hotel is in a main shopping area,... More

I am in this "hotel" right now waiting the transfer to "Nika" hotel. 2 hours left :) If all the Maldives are the same I am seriously thinking to get the first flight and never return. Absolute absence of the service, almost every item in the hotel is dirty and nasty. The room is extremely dark and smells heavily. Who... More

Clean. Expect a lot of noise most of the night. Definitively not a sound proof hotel. Rooms are small. Poor breakfast.
