1 night transtition hotel

Our parents' room had water dripping from the air-con, thus they had to move to another floor. Airport transport and breakfast are included, nothing more to complain about for a transition hotel.

We arrived late at night and found this to be a fantastic hotel for a night stay before checking into our Maldives resort. The hotel was clean, with all amenities we expected and more. Breakfast was more than what we expected.

Smallish hotel in good location. Close to everything. Great service, clean rooms. Breakfast included was standard, nothing flashy. Prices reasonable for supper. Good for a launch pad for a liveaboard

Good overnight option for the capital

Comfortable stay for an overnight in the capital. Near a nice playground so great for kids, also near the fish market. Transfer to/from airport is via taxi but they will kindly arrange for this so it is a great help. Breakfast is good too.
