Not worth the money
Stayed here for one night to wait for the ferry in the morning. Very low standard, the card machine was out of order so only option was cash, WIFI not working and bathroom was very unfresh. Expensive in terms of what you get.

Good hotel to spend the night in Male
Good hotel to stay overnight if you arrive late in the evening at Male. The hotel is walking distance from the Airport ferry. Good service, extremely clean and the breakfast was good.

A Night Stay
It is recommended to stay here if you reach Male late at night and need a place to stay for just one night. It is about 10 minutes taxi drive away from the airport and the ride cost about 100MVR. The room was better and cleaner than I expected. The washroom is very clean too. There's a small bar fridge in the room and simple necessities like kettle, towels and hairdryer are provided. However, the only issue was that the blanket was very very thin. It was more like a cloth rather than a blanket. Other than that, the stay was satisfactory.

Average hotel with exceptional service
Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean room. Accommodations are rather small and more like a hostel. Still, the cleanliness is key to staying anywhere in Asia, including Male city.

Reasonable value in an island with limited choice
Location is near the airport jetty. Male island is not big and therefore not a problem getting around. Room is good size with attached bathroom. Good WiFi and hot water. Limited choice of TV channel but OK for a transit stay before going to resort island. Not aware that it is priced in USD and therefore thought it is relatively cheap. Nevertheless, not expensive considering all hotels in Male are not cheap.

Nice standard hotel
The location of the hotel is very close to the airport ferry, perfect for the overnight stay before a morning flight. Walking took me about 5min, and motor cyclists are driving crazy in Male.... The hotel is very standard, but trustworthy. The receptionist was very lovely and she even asked a staff to carry my heavy suitcase to my room. Free wifi was very fast too. There is nothing to complain about for the price I paid. Highly recommended for anyone who is staying in Male just for the night.

Nice hotel on a noisy street
This is a good mid-level option in expensive Male. The hotel is clean and nice overall, however the street it's on is a bit noisy and motorcycle noise can be heard from the room well into the night. It's only a 3 minute walk away from the airport ferry.

Basic but perfect for a 1night budget stay in Mali
While most, if not all, hotels in the Maldives are overpriced, this one was one of the most affordable and was exactly what I needed for a one-night stopover in Male before heading to Maafushi. The hotel itself is basic, but does the job... free wifi (very good connection), centrally located within walking distance to the Artificial Beach, mosque, Islamic Center, art museum, Sultan Park, and ferry port to the airport (a quick 5 minute ride for $1 USD). Staff were very friendly and met me at the airport to make my connection to the hotel easy breezy.

average hotel, 5 min from airport ferry
I stayed only one night in SKAI lodge. What I liked most is the area, it's very close to the airport ferry and also to the public beach (where almost nobody swims, as it's small and bikinis are forbidden... but it's a nice place to hang out). There is no breakfast in the hotel, which is little sad. The staff is friendly and the room is clean but little dark - which is okay because I had a small balcony. All in all: I liked it but found it little expensive in comparison to better, cheaper hotels in Malé.

Male
Lors d’une courte halte aux Maldives, nous nous sommes posés au Skaï Lodge. Bien situé, tout est à proximité. Personnel charmant. Le bruit de travaux extérieurs est un inconvénient. Mais où n’y a t il pas de travaux sur Male?

マーレではお勧めします
フェリーターミナルから歩いて近い場所。 新しい建物ではないが、泊まる部屋としては遜色ない。NHKワールドなど多くのチャンネルが視聴できます。 朝食は選択できないけど、卵焼き、ソーセージ、パン、フルーツで不足はなかった。 しいて言えば、冷房の効きが悪いので、天井扇を回した方が涼しく感じられます。

Bra läge, rymligt rum. Service kan dock bli bättre
Vi är en familj på två vuxna och två barn som bodde på Skai lodge i april 2017. Rymligt välstädat rum med plats för extra säng, fungerande kylskåp och en mängd kanaler på tv:n för den som vill ha det. Tyst beläget hotell även om luftkonditioneringen just i vårt rum lät lite för mycket. Servicen hade dock mer att ge. De ville ha mer betalt än vad som överenskommits via hotels.com-bokningen, och dagen efter ingick plötsligt bara frukost för tre och inte för oss alla fyra. Allt löste sig, men vi förväntade oss helt enkelt en bättre service/bemötande.

員工不熱情,失約
約好在機場大堂接機,結果等很久也沒人來,問其他人才知道要打電話他們才會過來接,等了半小時多,不知道之前在電郵約來幹什麼,給他航班幹什麼,說什麼在大堂等,浪費我們的時間,完全沒誠信可言 員工還很冷淡,房間看起來也不太整潔 後悔選了這家旅館當接駁,對馬累印象很差

The room is big. But in front of our room, seem to be smoking and relaxing area. Many other guests are smoking there and talking a lot at night. Bathroom not OK, old and worry for electric shock from electric shower.
