We stayed in a primer business suite…
The food at the restaurant was v good
The staff was very helpful
The room was disappointing…. Windows looked into walks not outside, ( nothing like pictures advertised) pullout couch/ bed was very uncomfortable .

We regret that the room layout and sofa bed did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your comments, as they help us improve our guest experience.Kind regards,RaiReservation Officer

The room was a bit small and it's located in an alley, not directly on the main road. Everything else was great, and the service was excellent.

We spent 3 nights here. It was a good location and the room had everything we needed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our only concern was the shower but it worked out fine.

The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast and loved the convenient location close to major attractions. Even though we had an issues with the restaurant due to some miscommunication, the staff was very understanding and responsive. Thumbs up 👍

We use The Somerset for one night only at the end of our holiday at Angsana Velavaru as we had an early flight the next morning.
From the moment we booked the hotel were brilliant assuring me of our stay and the fact they offer free transport to and from the airport and even communicate
with the island hotel to ensure they will pick you up on time.
All the staff were excellent and we ate in their restaurant in the evening and food was first class and well priced but also as Male is classed as a local island there is no alcohol.
I really recommend this hotel for your pre flight or after flight it is excellent.

As this is one of the transit hotels in Male, we thought that overall experience was great, the receptionist was very friendly and attentive, check-in process was smooth.
The room is as per photos and expectation, comfort to sleep in is the most important one!
As our usual hotel practice, we will take photo during check-in and before check-out just to be sure things are all in place 😉
Response from Property: Thank you, we appreciate your positive feedback about our hotel. We do take pride in giving service to our guests’ needs the best way we can. If you’re traveling to our area again soon, don’t hesitate to contact us.

For our 3 nights trip to Male we chose this hotel. Location was nice, and reviews. Was not bad, for the island it’s kinda nicest place you could find.
1-2 night would be more than enough.

I booked the hotel for one night before I transit to the resort next day as this hotel is close to the airport. My family was assigned the first floor and the room’s window and balcony are blocked by the buildings surrounding it with bad smell. I can only see pipes and AC compressor through the window against the wall. What makes worse is the the super loud noise of the aircon and the the compressor which is impossible to make ppl fall asleep. I have to use ear plugs but still too loud to sleep.
The staff are friendly but the food is average compared to USD $200 per night we paid. It offers convenient transportation services with reasonable charge.
