Top Class Hotel - wish we had stayed there !
Reviewed By Babs3huntStopped here for 2 nights before venturing on to another atoll - wish we had stayed instead of moving on!! In the centre of busy Male on a quiet street opposite the school and near the Museum. First class service, rooms clean and comfortable. Staff are excellent and helpfull. There is also a lovely restaurant attached, best holiday hotel I have been in. Collected from and driven back to the airport by staff. Very highly recommended.

Just 15 minutes from the airport by land, the Paralian is a Beachfront boutique hotel located near the city center of Hulhumale’, suitable for international travelers that are, on leisure trips, on transit or on business. The rooms come with its scenic views, expert service, a multitude of recreational activities, (Diving, Water sports, Resort trips etc.) and offers in-house top tier dining experiences. All of these combined the Paralian is a true abode for a dweller by the sea.
Nice location, but no service standard at all. Poor customer service
Reviewed By ShaaahDXBTo begin with, I must agree that the hotel is located at a very convenient location and on beach front. Rooms are spacious and fitted with all required amenities. On arrival, I was met by a maldivian staff in reception who struggled to find my booking eventhough I had reserved my room on booking.com. after about 15 min it was sorted out and i was asked to sit in the lobby while a drink was served. I was taken to my room within 30 min of arrival and it was around 3pm. I clarified the roof top restaurant opening hours at the reception prior to check in as I intended to dine at the hotel and did not want to go out. I was informed that the roof top restaurant would be open daily form 2pm in to the evening. So, around 1900hrs, I went up to roof top. It was empty and no staff was visible. I stayed for about 20 min and saw one kitchen staff passing bye. I walked up to him as he did not bother to come n ask me what I was doing there. I told him I was there to get a meal. Then he just went out saying nothing. After few min a waitress came to me with a menu. No greeting as she approached me. No smile at all. Seems like she felt I dont need to be respected as a guest. Maybe my skin color was not her taste n she maybe feeling I was a poor guy with no money. Then I asked her why she was so rude and why even others did not care to talk to me even when I was seated there for morethan 20 min . I told her i was paying the amount hotel demanded me to pay and that it was the same rate anyone would have paid to stay and that i did not even negotiate for the rate. I asked her to provide me the service that would reflect value for what i paid. Anyway she listened and as i asked for manager she said he was not there and was in male. Finally i got my food which was tasteless . My point t here is, when you check the hotels in hulhumale on various booking sites, it is clear that this is one of the most expensive hotel charging you premium rates. But the service is horrible. Also the hotel housekeeping works at odd hours causing a lot of disturbance as they move noisily on the floor. Also the linen does not smell fresh and toiletries were not refilled. The general cleaners there have no intention to listen and help you. For the rate this hotel charges, I would recommend everyone to really avoid this fake hotel. Poor service n no value for money. You could have a better experience in many other good hotels in Hulhumale for much more less amount than what this hotel charges Really, horrible service and I will never return to this place.

Clean but owner is shady
Reviewed By TiffanyKahlRoom was very small but clean. Decent for an overnight stay to catch a seaplane. Breakfast was lovely. Don't request a wake up call because you will be told to set an alarm on your phone. Owner, Thomas, told me upon check out that he "had a problem with me" and said Agoda (who I booked through) hadn't paid him for my stay. I figured it was pay upon stay as I wasn't charged at time of booking 9 months prior or since. I paid him, even though it was significantly higher than the rate I booked via Agoda, and was on my way. I got home a few days later and realized Agoda had ALSO charged me for the room. I contacted Thomas immediately about a refund, less the water we took from the minibar, and was never responded to. I tried to dispute the charge on my cc and he fought it and so has now been paid twice for my stay. Agoda will also not respond to me. The cleanliness and breakfast was certainly not worth what I paid. Steer clear.

Very nice hotel
Reviewed By m1lalvarI found this hotel at booking, sadly not so many reviews, but i decided to give it a chance. I really liked it, it was clean, very close to the ferry port (to and from the airport) so I arrived this way from the airport. Rooms are pretty and renewed. Bed was comfortable. Nice air conditioner and fan, both working and helped me to feel fresh. I had a dinner which was really tasty, my congratulations to the person who cooked it. Also overall all the staff were really friendly and polite. I had my departure early at the morning, so they packed my breakfast in a box. Liked: - Staff: Very friendly and polite. Always answered my emails and at the hotel they made my stay very nice. Thanks for this. - Location (5 minutes by walking to ferry) - Food, very tasty dinner (though I ordered a spicy food that I like, but if you don't be careful about what you order) - Room was clean and fresh. I really liked this place and I completely recommend it.

9. The Melrose Hotel

3.5 based on 115 reviews
The Melrose Hotel is a boutique city hotel in the capital of Maldives. Because The Melrose Hotel is well located for guests to enjoy this beautiful area, so for guests just 10 minutes' ferry from airport, and five minutes' walk from hotel to the beach, shops, restaurants and wharf. The Melrose Hotel is a holiday post with the stunning Mae island on its doorstep. It is the departure point for a variety of excursions and attractions.
Good as a transit hotel
Reviewed By Pummy CThe hotel is located centrally in the market area, 5 minutes walk from the artificial beach. We liked their hospitality and the fact that they arranged airport pickup for us on prior request. The room was small for us as we had a kid along, but with all required facility for 1 night stay. They have a restaurant as well.
