The bed in the room was very soft, so it's fine for a transit hotel. The hotel's restaurant is good, and the pizza is a safe bet. The bread for the submarine sandwich was a bit dry, but perhaps that's normal for the area. They offer a shuttle service, and you can exchange currency at the front desk. There are a few supermarkets nearby that only accept cash.

The hotel isn't far from the airport and offers a pick-up service, which is great. They even drop you off at the ferry terminal the next day. However, the rooms are a bit disappointing – small and with outdated facilities. But for a transit hotel, I guess it's acceptable. The hotel service is excellent, and there's a beach right outside.

The hygiene was a bit lacking, but the location is great, the service is warm and friendly, and the shuttle is free.

1. The bedding was extremely dirty and covered in stains; the bath towels were also dirty. The hotel's laundry service has serious issues. 2. The room size and photos on Ctrip were completely inaccurate. It was small and had no windows. After complaining, they moved me to a room that matched the pictures on Ctrip. 3. After changing rooms, the balcony's French windows couldn't be locked, which was a safety concern. 4. The hotel's airport shuttle was not punctual. I booked it for the top of the hour, they agreed to be 15 minutes late, but ended up being 25 minutes late. 5. The Wi-Fi was restricted; I could only connect one device. Ultimately, only the staff's attitude was decent, and they did seem to want to resolve the problems.

Seriously, don't stay here. It's dirty, messy, and stinks. Absolutely unlivable, nowhere to walk or sleep. The only plus is the free airport shuttle, but honestly, it's not worth it. Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else!!

The owner is really friendly and the service is great. The food at the hotel is delicious. Although the facilities are a bit old, the cleanliness was acceptable; I checked everywhere and found no dust. BUT: the toilet smelled terrible (sewer gas coming up from the drain) and the toilet seat was broken and hadn't been repaired. The sheets, duvet covers, pillows, and bath towels looked absolutely horrifying – yellow, black, all sorts of colors, the kind of condition a normal household would just throw out, let alone a hotel! I smelled them and they seemed to have been washed, but probably due to their age, a lot of grime remained that couldn't be cleaned off. I spent the whole night feeling uneasy! I strongly suggest the owner replace the bedding and light bulbs! It would be a small investment for a big improvement!

The pickup arrived about twenty minutes after I called the front desk, in the lively Hulhumale beachfront area. There were daily power outages, but the staff were very quick to resolve them. The room had a very small window that faced the building next door, like a 'handshake building' in an urban village, making it feel like a confined space. The room description pictures on the booking page showed a large window, which didn't match the actual situation.
