The aircon is a little under power for the size of the room

Staffs are nice, hotel was clean, but no view to anything but the back walls of other buildings and it feel really tight space, just dont open your blind, it just doesnt look good outside . Breakfast was okay compare to some of the hotels in the Bahamas i went to . it is also our first time to Maldives . We only stayed here 1 night before taking the boat to our sheraton hotel at near by island. i woke up early and took a walk with my son, its nice to explore around the city but seem like its really crowded and cramp up, there were pipe of some sort of sewage system just lying on the side walk.In general the downside of the hotel/ room i stayed in is the hotel, and break fast was just so so, not much to eat.

Such a great hotel, and the food was exceptional! We decided to stay here twice, once to rest from our international flights and then after our luxury island (before taking a speedboat to an inhabited island). Both times they took care of everything for us and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The second time we visited they even gave us a room upgrade!! Would definitely recommend as a wonderful stop over and a chance to see some of Male, which was interesting in itself.

Somerset Hotel was the ideal stay to rest after a week of being on a liveaboard dive boat. Their shuttle picked us up from the airport right on time and got us to the hotel, which can be a minor feat in and of itself given Malés interesting roads and traffic situation. Then maybe the nicest perk of all: Our boat dropped us off a few hours early as part of their usual schedule. We knew it was several hours ahead of their usual check in time, and planned to go sight see the parks in the neighborhood even though a bit tired. But as luck would have it, our room happened to be ready ahead of schedule and the desk representatives offered to check us in then and there, even though it was still before the usual time. That was such a boon for weary travelers like ourselves I couldnt help but 5/5 them just for that, even if we know sometimes rooms will be occupied until checkout. They were also very helpful with everything else, including arranging our ride back to the airport and helping with our luggage when we checked out the next day and went sightseeing a while before our shuttle.If youre familiar with Malé, you know it has many people and buildings all fit into a very limited island space, and that buildings, streets, and even vehicles are often miniaturized as part of adapting to that. But even by those standards, our room was quite spacious, with an attached living room and a nice bathroom too. We might have been a little biased from the compact space requirements of being on a ship for a week, but it felt roomy and relaxing.Finally, the location was excellent. There are several lovely parks and green spaces nearby. There is also a tasty cafe called Seagull right around the corner from Somerset I can heartily recommend. And its central location makes it very walkable to the whole island if you are feeling adventurous to traverse Malés motor scooter lines streets and alleyways. Finally, our shuttle back to the airport rolled out right on time, yet another mark of professionalism for the team there.All told, I can highly recommend the Somerset Hotel. They were a great value for us and were just the restful experience we needed to enjoy the city and the next segment of our trip.

Situated in the heart of Male and access to beach, restaurants and cafe are just walking distance.Some Rooms are small but if you get the Rooms which is close to elevator access are super big with separate hall and bedroom.Food is super tasty and one of the chef is Sri Lankan to give Authentic Sri Lankan taste.Staffs were very helpful and specially Manager who is very attentive to each Guests.

Nice clean, comfortable hotel that we stayed at overnight while waiting to go out on the fantastic Scuba Spa livaboard yacht which was hands down over the top great. The hotel staff was friendly, helpful and polite.

Staff were very friendly and accomdating. Hotel was very nice, clean, modern. If you want to be near the few tourist sites like the museum or presidential house its very close. Its in a very busy commercial area though so probably not for conventional tourists.

Somerset hotel, situated in K.Male is not an island resort or a beachfront hotel. It can be addressed as a City hotel, having easy access to all the facilities within walking distance. Around 5 to 10 minutes drive from Velana International Airport.Hotel seems to be small with the entrance and reception. But room sizes vary from the type of the rooms, I guess. Though you opt a single room, all the amenities are included in each and every room.Within a shorter period of business they have managed to score good ratings through most of the platforms. Special thanks to the GM Mr. Ganesh and Head Chef who make the stay comfortable. Both are Sri Lankans 🇱🇰 and I guarantee you would find the best stay along with Sri Lankan hospitality in Maldives.Have a pleasant stay !

Somerset has the feeling of thought being put into everything they do. The ambience is unique and it doesnt stop at the reception, the rooms and even the hallways have the same homely vibe with wooden decor and furniture emphasized by the light coloured walls and floor. TV, coffee machine and other amenities are topped off by the excellent service provided by the staff, who are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Malé.

Excellent customer service from the general manager himself down. Clean and spacious rooms with all the amenities provided. Small lobby but it serves the purpose well. Covid protocols very well observed in the premises. Absolute privacy inside the room as there is no disturbance from the corridors.

I think this must be the best place for your temporary dwell while your honeymoon or vist in Moldives. There nearby a museum and lots of things to see as well additionally. And also specially dry fishes and sea foods can be bought cheaply from nearby fish market. Dont forget to eat fish Roti here too. So there you go...

The location is best if you want to remain on the main island close to airport. The staff are friendly and very prompt. I loved their service. I enjoyed ordering in a variety of food from their restaurant during my stay and I must say nothing disappointed me. It was delicious. I did feel the rooms are a little cramped up and the view from my room was next building up close with pigeons all around. I did not bother asking for another room as my stay was for a very short duration. I sure they would have been happy to offer me another room with better view if possible.

We stayed at this hotel as a last minute resolution to missing our Trans Maldivian flight to our resort. Given the stress we were under the staff were still very helpful, kind and understanding. We ordered room service and the food was excellent. The room was spacious and clean. And the next morning we had a very early check-out and the hotel organized us a to-go breakfast, with everything from juice, to sandwiches and a slice of cake! I will definitely recommend this hotel!

Hotel was fine but do not trust what the staff says. They made us late for our seaplane check-in when we were ready to go with plenty of time.l to spare. They said we needed to wait and sent up back up to the room. We had to wait 5 hours at the airport for the next seaplane flight. Very unhappy with how they dealt with this situation, and 100% their fault.

The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The food is great (great variety for spicy food with some additional menu choices for non spicy items, and both are very delicious)The wifi is available.The staff is very nice and cooperative, always smiling and supportive, (among the best people I ve ever met in my traveling)The only inconvenience of the hotel is the view. The location of the hotel is in the middle of the city which makes it close to different needed places yet it s away from the sea with blocked views from the rooms with no balcony, only windows with building views.This is the only negative issue, yet the cleanliness, the comfy, and the personnel support may compensate this inconvenience.

Figured this one as I was walking around in Malé to find a spot for lunch. Super expensive but worth every single penny. Food is really delicious and if you want to taste some really good Indian dishes, this is one of the very few ones I would recommend in Malé.Their staff is kind and the hotel itself is not on a busy road and hence the ambiance is also really good. Food tastes really delicious!

Well located in Mali, room is spacious with coffee machine etc but decoration is dated. Ask for higher floors as low floors (where I stayedhad windows facing a concrete wall and can be noisy with construction work. Seagull cafe is nearby that serves good food, must try.

Very comfortable beds. Excellent service. Helpful staff.Toiletries were decent, breakfast had very good selection. Try the Maldivian hot dish. Sofa bed was a bit lumpy, even for sofa beds.
