Terrific staff service, great for transit”
If you plan to stay in resort and are travelling in group (more than 2 people), then you can save a lot by asking the hotel manager (Mr Abdul Salaam) to book boat transfer for you. As an example, we are a group of 5 people and 1 toddler. Our flight arrives at night so we need a hotel in Hulhumale before our transfer to Cinnamon Dhonveli Resort (also known as Chaaya Dhonveli Resort). If we book the boat transfer from hotel website, it is USD150 + Tax 12% = USD168/person x 5 person = USD840 for 5 people for two-way transfers. After contacting many hotels, Abdul Salaam give us the best deal which is USD140 per way x 2 ways = USD280 for any people that can fit the boat. Notice that in order to do this, you cannot book directly from Cinnamon Dhonveli website, instead you must contact / email the sales team of Cinnamon Dhonveli (They have local Srilankan sales representative from John Keells Group) and tell them that you want to arrange your own transport. They will then proceed your booking and you can either transfer the money to their bank (easier for Srilankans), or use secure credit card payment link in which they will provide (as an Indonesian, we use this one) Saving USD580 is the big win of staying in Eureka. Other than that, the hotel is clean, great service attitude from staff, near local store (in which you can buy snacks -- pay in local currency cheaper). Some of the negatives are: - Wifi is fast but signal might be weak depend on location of your room. Easily taken care of by moving outside the room and sit on the sofa near the stairs. - Breakfast is limited not all u can eat, but it is western food so that's good - Airport transfer is usd8 per room per way, even though 2 rooms use 1 car you still need to pay usd16. You have no choice because in airport there is no taxi (apparently only licensed hotel car are allowed to go in the airport). But it's not a big deal for us. - Room size is just enough, not too big, not too small.

Nice experience”
The staff is very nice and friendly there. He helped us to carry on our heavy luggage to our room when we arrived and left. He also came and called us for his authentic Male breakfast. We will definitely recommend Eureka Airport Inn to any travellers who wish to spend the first night to rest before going to the Island.

Depends on what you're looking for”
If you have high tolerance levels, this is a great airport hotel for an overnight stay or two. I am saying this with my own assumption that i was placed at their sister hotel (athrium? i believe i read it somewhere among the reviews) as it does not look the same as the pictures at all. I didn't question them since we are only staying overnight before our morning transfer to our resort. Airport transfer was seamless, although i had to take a leap of faith as i never received ANY confirmation or replies to my emails (to 3 different accounts i found from websites, their facebook page, name cards etc) so i was just banking on that someone would be waiting for us or they would have a counter at the airport. Thankfully there was a staff with a eureka airport inn sign waiting for us. Transfer was in a toyota wish with their sister hotel's name on it, this was another sign confirming our belief. Anyhow, we don't feel 'cheated' per se, but given that they didn't reply our other emails just to confirm the transfer, we rather just roll with it for a few hours. Note that this hotel is in Hulhumale, which is reachable by the road around the airport, so no boat transfer which we preferred. The sister hotel is located right on the beach, nothing fancy of course, but at least it was nice waking up and seeing the sun/beach outside of the hotel. We were placed in 1 of 2 rooms on the ground floor, next to their toilet. No weird smell and not too much noise given that we arrived very late. It would have been nicer if we were placed in a nicer room but again, it's just a few hours. This hotel is much older than the pictures for Eureka. Staff was hit or miss but one of the Gents there stood out, he cooked our breakfast as well. I couldn't confirm who was at fault, but our resort offered to connect with Eureka Inn to arrange for our morning transfer the next morning, but when we arrived, the staff at the sister hotel was clueless. Don't want to assume, but given the 5 star resort we w

Good stop-over choice”
The hotel crew is very nice, they brought us to restaurant and supermarket after our late check-in at 9:45p.m. The place is far from Hulhumale bus stop. It's better to take taxi rather than airport bus. For the bedsheets and pillow was not clean. There were some stains on bedsheets and quilt cover. Some bad smell from pillow. Hope hotel can improve on this. It's still a good choice for transit from Male to islands.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our property. It is always heartwarming to hear that our service was appropriate . sorry for the unconvinience, please provided your arrival details along with your booking, our representative will pickup you from airport to hotel. Kind regards salaam
The staffs there was really nice!”
They are really kind. There was not much information on the internet about this country. But once I asked them they gave me many information what I wanted to know. They provide a picking up from the airport to hotel. It costs $10. And also you can take a shuttle bus from the airport to Main bus stop(2nd bus stop). It just cost 20 MVR or 1 USD. And they picked me up there for free. This hotel located between the bus stop and Furry terminal for Male. It was really convenient. Only things what I mind was no shampoo and toothbrush. But it's okay.

Comfortable stay among the locals”
My first time to Maldives, emailed them to make sure there is a pickup from the airport, but no replied after 3 emails sent. Fingers crossed hope there is other form of transport. At the arrival hall, staff from eureka airport inn was there, sigh of relief. The hotel located north of hulhumale, within the local suburbs. Name is airport inn but not next to the airport. There is airport bus, but may not arrive here. Once arrived greeted by other staffs who are friendly, helpful with our queries, carry our heavy luggages up a steep flights of stairs. Room condition was good, cold and quiet aircon, fast wifi, hot shower, satellite TV. No good views here, views of local suburbs. Nearby has a grocery shop, relatively cheap stuff and water to buy. There is also a bus stop nearby, can take the bus to hulhumale ferry terminal that can go to male ferry terminal, only 6 rufiya, 20 mins ride. Overall, a not bad place for transit to other islands.

Comfortable Stay and Value for money”
The room is very clean, and the the bed is so comfort. We enjoyed our stay here. We pay for SGD8 per room for the airport transfer (1 way), and the driver wait us at the airport upon arrival. We reached Hulhumale at night and not sure where can we have our dinner. The staff is so helpful and willing to show us direction and bring us to the restaurant nearby for our dinner. Great service and value for money! :)

Amazing Hospitality”
Amazing experience! Our flight was ard 9pm. After late check out at 2pm, Eureka arranged for us to go to another beach front property to relax at the beach while waiting for our taxi pick up at 5pm. Great hospitality and we were grateful for this! Thanks for all the assistance given. Kudos and keep up the good work!

Improvement on pest control needed”
Staff was very friendly and helpful, overal service was good including airport transfer. Location is ten minutes walk to ferry terminal to Male. Room cleanliness was acceptable. However, pest control needs to be improved. Found 2 small size cockroaches in the bathroom and Mosquitos is causing a nuisance while sleeping.

Value for money”
The hotel is clean and comfortable. We booked twin room but they upgraded us a family room. The location is not easily found so I made a further request prior arrival via Agoda.com to them for airport transfer but no response. Luckily, the customer information centre at the airport helped us to call the hotel and they arranged the airport transfer at a reasonable fair at USD8/ride. The breakfast is fine in term of the money we paid. We definitely will recommend to others who need a transitional night before departing to the resort next morning.

Best location and good price”
I booked 2 rooms for 5 adults and 1 infant. The rooms were good enough to stay one night in airport island before we went to Maafushi. The beds are big and comfortable. There is a convenient store next to the hotel, so we can buy personal stuffs like toothbrush or toothpaste over there. I would recommend to whom travel to Maldives

It is okay to stay for one night”
Cannot find any staff from this hotel in the airport, you have to call them to pick you up. Wait around 20 mins in the airport, took 8 dollar for the driver to take us to the hotel, 8 dollar from hotel to airport.It is located quite far from the airport compared with other hotels in the airport island. The room is fine, clean with very cold aircon. but remember to bring your own toothbrush, and other like shampoo, because the hotel didn't provide this. The owner and staff is quite nice and helpful with all the questions.

Good place to stay before airport transfer to resorts”
The location is just 20 mins drive from Velana airport but their airport transfer service needs to be improved. The driver wasn't there when we arrived so we tried calling them and waited until the driver came to fetch us to their inn. Besides that everything is good. The staff is friendly and helpful hence overall a good stay.

Transit Hotel”
This is a bare basic roof over your head accommodation. Staff is friendly. If you reach this hotel late in the evening there are some eateries at the roll behind this hotel. Make sure you get this hotel to arrange for airport transfer if not you will be stuck in the airport helpless as the Maldivian Airport is not tourist friendly. Maldives airport is like way back 30 days ago compared to any major Southeast Asia Cities.

Good service, transportation from the airport is USD 8”
Before we arrived, I contacted the hotel several times through emails, trying to figure out how me and my family could go to the hotel after landing because we would land close to midnight, but no one replied. So when we landed, I tried to find a taxi. However my father noticed that actually a guy held a board with the hotel's name, so we figured out there is a pick up service. When we arrived at the hotel, the driver asked for USD 8. I'm not sure if this was a fair price, because during our trip in Maldives, other travelers told us they were asked for a much higher price such as USD 30. The hotel was clean, and the staffs were pretty friendly and helpful.
