No room cleaning

We stayed 5 days there and they did not clean the room a single time. Lot of garbage in those 5 days obviously and not a single time they cleaned it. 3 employees stayed at the reception, chatting around and looking at the computer why the heck they don't care about the room? Breakfast was very basic...toast, eggs, rice with butter and jam.

Acceptable for a one night stay

Room was acceptable for a one night stay at the price. Negatives: Shower head was broken, amenities were sparse, and breakfast was poor from the perspective of a Westerner. Positives: Price, staff was friendly, near the beach. Be aware that there is not an elevator.

Wenn auf der Internetseite geschrieben wird, dass es tägliche Zimmerreinigung gibt, erwarte ich eigentlich, dass das Zimmer auch täglich gereinigt wird! War 5 Nächte in dem Hotel und während der gesamten Zeit ist mein Zimmer kein einziges mal gereinigt worden! Ebenfalls hört man jedes Gespräch, was auf den Fluren geführt wird ... Mein Fazit: günstige Unterkunft, die man jedoch nicht für den ganzen Urlaub auf den Malediven buchen sollte...

Close to the beach and reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean but noisy, sound travels from everywhere into the room. Maybe top floor is better. I was on the second floor and all the lobby noise could be heard.

DECEVANT

Hotel simple avec des chambres basiques. Petit déjeuner décevant. Pas de plage pour les touristes malgré la magnifique plage devant l'hotel mais interdiction de se baigner en bikini. On est très déçu de la ville. Il ne faut pas aller là pour séjourner aux Maldives. Il y a des endroits beaucoup plus magnifiques.

UI Inn, the best little hotel in Hulhumale

I stayed at UI Inn, Hulhumale for 7 days 6 night, and left this hotel on Saturday 12th, May, 2018 at 2pm. Saif (the staff in charge) allowed me a leniency to stay at least up to 3-5 hours after checkout time at 12 o' clock, that was because most guests were leaving to the other islands that day, and some new guests would arrive in the evening; otherwise he was unable to allow such leniency during peak season. I feel so satisfied with the courtesy and friendlyness of all staffs at UI Inn, especially Yunus, who took care of the cleanliness and frehness of the small single standard room I stayed for 6 nights at UI Inn. The Wi-Fi in this hotel is running very smoothly with high speed and for free! And the daily house keeping is excellent! Convenient and full air-con public buses to Male International Airport and Hulhumale Ferry Terminal are available around UI Inn and with very cheap prices. It takes only 10 minutes by bus from Hulhumale to Male Airport and only for MVR 20 (US $ 1.33). If people says, this little hotel is only good for a short stay before going to the other islands; to me either way is perfect, you can stay in this little hotel longer because they can provide various tours in a very competitive price. I loved the cleanliness at this little hotel and the beach nearby (only 20m from 2 separate buildings of UI Inn)!

Room is awful, staffs are nice

Stayed 1 night for the transfer to our resort... Most of the staffs are very nice, helpful and welcoming (especially the guy who greets at the airport and the driver) but the room is grimly dark and hot (in spite the aircon being at its lowest)... There are definitely BETTER hotels worth your money... only thing I really like here are the staffs...
