The Grand View

The environment is very good. The room is not big, but clean. The location is excellent. Male is not big to begin with. Living here, you can walk anywhere. The hotel also checked us in in advance. The service was deducted because, when we arrived, they arranged a room with a window facing the street. We thought it was a free upgrade because when we paid the "construction fee" when we checked in, they did not tell us that there would be an extra charge for that room. We also asked the front desk to help book a car to the airport the next morning. We went in and out several times, but they did not tell us that we had to pay extra. The car they helped to book was also very good. The most unacceptable thing is that when we handed over the key to the hotel, another person was on duty, and he actually said that the room with a window would cost an extra $6. We asked, why didn't they tell us that we had to pay extra when we checked in, but only when we left, we had to pay extra.

Nice hotel, helpful staff, they gave us breakfast even though it was late and allowed us to leave our luggage at the reception after check-out.

The main advantage of the hotel is its proximity to the ferry to the airport - 10 minutes on foot, taking into account the suitcase and the lack of a normal road)). Room 505 is really very small, there is a small window, but the bathroom is almost the same size as the room 😆 Of course everything is tired, but everything works, there is a kettle, coffee, tea. There is zero sound insulation, which means you will know when all your neighbors on the floor are leaving)) The bed linen is clean, I just don’t understand why a warm blanket is laid in 30 degree heat? To summarize, I can say that for $50 I’m ready to stay the night there again; if it’s more expensive, I’d look for something else.

We chose the most budget room for one night in this hotel. This is one of the advantages. Plus it's in a good location, close to the beach. There are a lot of shops. Also liked the pleasant smell throughout the hotel. Of the minuses: the room is really very small and it was a little cramped for the two of us, the bed for two is also a little cramped. There were dirty towels that probably couldn’t be washed anymore and stains on the bed linen, but we didn’t approach the manager with this issue. The hotel does not have a transfer; we got there ourselves by taxi - 85 rufiyaa one way. On the spot they charged another $3 per person for some kind of fee. In general, it’s okay to spend the night, everything you need is there!
