Good location, overall pleasant hotel (relatively), as expected from 3star hotel in Male.
The breakfast was next to nothing, just 2 fried eggs and coffe with spme bread.
Hyvä sijainti lähellä uimarantaa jossa pystyi myös snorklata kalalaiturin vieressä. Malessa oli paljon mielenkiintoista seurattavaa mm. kalasatamassa. Helppo käydä muilla saarilla. Edullista kulkea ferillä. Kävellen pääsee moneen kohteeseen. Parasta oli malelaiset ihastuttavat ihmiset. Roskaisuus on tietty tylsää, mutta...
They accepted online booking but denied stay coz they were getting clients at higher price n theydint wanted to entertain clients with online Booking coz of low rate booking.. they literally said cancel online and do from us at three times the price .
Precisamos do hotel para passar a noite para pegar voo no dia seguinte. Foi suficiente. O hotel ofereceu traslado sem custo e os funcionários foram muito atenciosos. Tudo excelente.
Pleasant stay in a pleasant hotel. There isn't much to do on the island of Malé - purpose of my visit was to recover from flight/s & time zone changes prior to going on SCUBA holiday. There is a very good food market just up the road. You can walk around the island in less than 90 minutes. Very safe island, but not much for tourists.

Local averge hotel
The place is in middle of male and there are alot of local places near by within walking dastance. The staff is so friendly which all people of maldives but the facility is old and i was not happy as they did not remind us about the out halfboard that we paid for and the breakfast is limited and the worker are kind.. this place will be for those who want to save.
It locate 3 blocks away from the Harbor Food Court and the Ferry and 10 -15 minutes walk to Male downtown. Manager and staffs are nice. Manager will go out the way to made us happy. I like it. Good breakfast
buffet. The room is good size.
Nice big rooms and decent buffet breakfast. Main problem was the wifi which did not work much of the time. This was very frustrating to say the least and I needed to go out to nearby restaurants just to send messages or plan yours. I hope they fix this soon.
Had transit for 11 hours ,the free shuttle is always great help if tou dont want to exchange money.
The room however was a disappoint smelled smoke ,very noisy a.c and fan.we thiught we cool the room and turn it off and just use fan ! Nop the fan was equally noisy.
We were having breakfast amd still eating and the staff comes with bill saying yiu have to pay for yhird person.seriously let customers finish eating we wount run away!!!!
Saastainen paikka. Kävimme kääntymässä huoneessa ja totesimme huoneiston kunnon. Keskeneräiset sähkötyöt, "spektaakkelit" lakanoilla riittivät varaamaan toiseen paikkaan. Nettikin oli niin hidas ettei pystynyt paikan päällä huonetta varaamaan.
10-min daytime taxi from city centre speedboat pier and airport bus terminal, but close to pier towards maafushi island; a small grocery store is nearby; in contrary to expedia receipt stating "free transfer" at the time of my booking, such service is chargeable at USD15 / 2 pax. Renovation work from 8am to nearly 9:30pm in contrary to notice posted at elevator and without prior known; stained carpet; "balcony" is tiny and narrow allowing 1 guest carefully stepping into; occasional power outage at evening during renovation in progress; very basic breakfast buffet
Nous avons changé d’hotel en arrivant puisqu ‘il n’y a aucune plage a Malé. Ils nous ont aidés à trouver un moyen de nous rendre à un autre hôtel sur une ile mais finalement les informations étaient erronnées et nous devions attendre 3 heures pour un transport. Ils nous ont permis de prendre une douche puisque nous avions payé la chambre pour rien. Gentil pour le service mais hotel à déconseiller et ils ne voulaient pas nous rembourser puisque nous ne voulions pas cette chambre. Frais pour transport de ( 10 min) pas mentionné. Ne pas aller à moins que vous voulez vraiment voir Malé, même aux douanes ils nous ont mentionné « strange hotel »
Nice Hotel, wonderful staffs & close to the beach. I will recommend al the future guests who intend to visit Male must stay in this Hotel. You will get all the amenities you expect. All the staff & Driver are friendly & cooperative.
Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable room. While it's a bit away from the main tourist attractions, I had fun walking around the local area, especially since I didn't get hassled to look at shops or go into restaurants, unlike in the area where most of the tourist attractions and hotels are. Close to a good spot to watch sunset and watch the world cup once it's dark! Access to WiFi has a time limit, which is my only complaint as it wasn't clear in the booking information and the system doesn't allow you to log off, so you have to use your allotted time all at once (Of course, this may be me missing something).
I would definitely stay here again if I go back to Male.
thanks for the birthday cake for my wife, it was so hearfelt with many thanks! it was comfortable to stay at this hotel if you looks for a stopover before your next destination in Maldives.
We stayed here for one night as we landed late and didn't want to spend a full night at our resort. It was good for this purpose, given 24h pickup. It isn't the most luxurious hotel, but it is comfortable enough and the staff are friendly. While it is pricey for what it is, it is standard for Maldives I suppose. If you need an overnight stay before heading to your resort, I would recommend this hotel.
Good accommodation in Malé city, efficient hospitality was offered right from the pick up airport to the hotel. Spaces room, new bathroom and with all amenities. Breakfast was a selection of varieties of cuisines. Staff were very courteous and helpful. Location close to the beach, shops, eatery etc. thank you to the staff who work tirelessly to provide warm services. All in all I truly enjoyed my stay in beehive.

Good transfer hotel
Big, spacious suite. Decor is outdated and could be changed. The food at the hotel restaurant was very good. However, the restaurant that the front desk woman recommended was awful. Communication via email and phone was poor; we had a mixup regarding the airport transfer. The area around the hotel is gross. Trash everywhere, constant construction, and not very walkable. I would not stay here more than one night due to the location. But the hotel itself is fine.
