Great hotel for overnight stay ”

This hotel was a great choice for us to stay in for the night since we landed in Male very late at night. I was very happy with the hotel staff and the facility. However, when booking through a third party, like Agoda for example, please make sure you contact the hotel directly to coordinate airport to and from hotel transport if its comes with your booking. We waited about at least an hour for the hotel staff to come pick us up at the airport. He was not at the designated kiosk/station for h78 (each hotel/resort will have one when you get out of Customs). It wasn't a big deal if not for the long plane travel that we just did. All we wanted was to get to a bed and get much needed sleep. There is no free wifi at the airport which means you can't even send an email to the hotel or give them a call. We used the information assistance booth to get some help, not the friendliest people in customer service too. On another note, don't bother getting Maldivian currency (rufiyaa) or cash. Even the airport won't take this money. Card will do fine in Maldives.

Good Value for Money”

We stayed at h78 upon our arrival in Maldives at night time to spend the night prior our actual booking with Huvafen Fushi. We were fetched from the airport (included already in their services) by their staff immediately that we did not need to wait long in the airport. The hotel is clean and the room we occupied is very clean and well kept as well. Though the room does not compare to 5 -star hotels, it is very comfortable that you can have a good rest after a long flight to Maldives. The dining area is good and the food is okay. The area around the hotel and the beach front are very clean as well. All in all, the hotel gives a lot of value for the money. I would highly recommend this hotel if you would need a comfortable place to stay to in Maldives near the international airport.

Very satisfied guest”

h78 is a very nice boutique hotel. Location is 20 minutes from airport and out of any flight paths, so you won't hear planes. It is across the street from a small sandy beach. Furnishings are satisfactory and in good order. There's never a doubt about its cleanliness. The bed is very comfortable. The restaurant on the first floor puts out effort, but success isn't guaranteed. And some noise can be heard from the restaurant when it's in operation. I was on 3rd floor (restaurant on 1st). The (mostly Filipino) staff, including the driver, is the best asset of this hotel. They are always pleasant, helpful, and accommodating. I needed help in tracking down an electronic item in town for my camera, and receptionist Nish was extremely helpful. A late checkout was availed to me, which made my departure easier. This hotel will be memorable for their staff. Keep in mind this is Hulhumale; construction is everywhere. The hotel is surrounded by other hotels being built. The water condition at the beach didn't entice me to go snorkeling. But as a transit hotel, it is hard to beat. I had a very nice stay.

Friendly, convenient, clean, good location & value for money ”

It is a good & convenient first night stay when my flight arrive late at night & catch the next day early morning seaplane to island resorts. After island resort 3 nights stay, I come back to stay at h78 for the 2nd night to catch next day noon flight. We book an ocean view room. The ocean view at high floor was fantastic. We had very nice sunrise & nice ocean scenery from the balcony. Staff & owner of h78 were very friendly. The room is clean & breakfast is nice. They provide free car transport from airport to hotel. Really recommend h78, good value for money. Will come back again if I come to Maldives!

Great hotel near airport”

We stayed here on our first night in the Maldives. It's very close to the airport and their staff will pick you up and drop you off at the airport for free. Room was clean and spacious, good food and accommodating staff. They even had bicycles that guests could use to roam around Hulhumale. This hotel is a great choice if your flight arrives in Male late at night.

Great for Transit”

Our first time to Maldives & stay here for one night as transit before our flight back to KL on next day morning. Overall, this is small hotel just right in front of the beach. Transport to & from airport is on scheduled basis every half an hour. The food & drinks here is at reasonable price & they can prepare vegetarian meals here. You can walk from hotel to Ferry station to Male city. Recommended to change at least USD 100 of local currency for transport & meals. Happy to recommend this hotel for anyone who transit to island resort or return home.

Good for an airport stopover”

We needed to be at Male International Airport earlier than the seaplane could transport us from our island, so we came the evening before and stayed one night. The airport pick up worked well. We went to the information desk and they phoned the hotel and they arrived about 5 minutes later. The room was small, but had ensuite facilities, bottled water in a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The staff weer friendly and helpul. We ate at the hotel restaurant and the food was fine. We had a good night's sleep as it was quiet enough. Would recommend for a stopover but don't expect luxury!

Overall Good Hospitality”

Our first time to Maldives & stay 1st night here before our trip to island resort. Overall, this is small hotel just right in front of the beach. Transport to & from airport is on scheduled basis every half an hour. The food & drinks here is at reasonable price & they can prepare vegetarian meals here. You can walk from hotel to Ferry station to Male city. Recommended to change at least USD 100 of local currency for transport & meals.

Layover hotel”

h78 Hulhymale Maldives was the perfect option for our overnight. A quick call from the Info Booth at Maldives Airport had the transfer vehicle to us. For our return, they arranged a small bus, since there were 8 of us with dive equipment. Our package included dinner and breakfast as well as the room. The rooms are clean and neat. not huge and overlooked the water. The owner's greeted us and were very friendly and accommodating. Would happily return and recommend to others.

Best beach-facing hotel in Hulhumale”

We stayed for a night. Compact, clean, well-furnished rooms. Perfect for families. Airport pickup and drop was handled well. Staff were friendly and catered to our every need. Sahen, the Manager coordinated our trip and did the needful. Big thanks to him and Malakko. Clean beach right opposite the hotel was a huge plus although we didn't have time to enjoy the water. We only had the complimentary breakfast at their restaurant which was nice and sufficient for vegetarians. To wind up, h78 was our first taste of the Maldives and set up our vacation nicely. My family sang its praises and the kids loved it.

Convenient hotel in Hulhumale”

H78 hotel is located on Hulhumale which is the same island the airport is situated on. The hotel itself is small with the restaurant on the ground floor and reception on the 1st floor which can be a little confusing when you first arrive. The staff at the hotel are very helpful and friendly and will go out of their way to ensure you are well taken care of. The rooms are on the smaller side however they’re clean and comfortable, especially for short stays.

Very professional staffs ”

Well , i arrived at Male Airport at night (around 10:30 pm) and this hotel Provides round trip to airport-hotel. The staffs will contact you soon after booking to make sure ur stay smooth. During that night, the whole city got electricity off, so quite a dark at that hotel. What i really love about this hotel is though no electricity, the staffs handle guests very well and professionally escort guests to the room. Even when i checked out, the hotel put the green tax as complimentary and even they gave me souvenirs as apologize coz the electricity went out at previous night (although it is their mistake at all). Thanks a lot to make my trip smooth and comfortable. Definitely will go back to this hotel 😁

Wonderful hotel”

The hotel is definitely "simpler" than 4-5* island resorts, but what it lacks in luxury the hotel generously compensates with fantastic service and great staff. All of the employees are genuinely kind, nice and very helpful. Check-in/check-out was smooth and fast, hotel driver is a wonderful person, bar/restaurant staff are great. Overall an absolutely positive experience. I enjoyed service quality at this hotel more than at the resort. The hotel is modern, new, clean, and quick taxi ride both from the airport and all cultural attractions of Male city. They arrange free pick-and drop-off at the airport too.

Awesome Customer Service”

The overall stay experience at h78 was superb! Love the way they welcomed my wife and I with a simple honeymoon message. Cosy little space for a quick stay on the main island before heading off to the island resorts the next day. Breakfast was above expectations and I love the local tuna dish served with chapatti, omelette with cheese upon request. The best part was when I left my pair of spectacles back at the hotel and only realized it when I had left for one of the island resorts. I quickly emailed h78 and they were more than prompt to reply and assure me that they had found my spectacles. They even INITIATED a way to return me my spectacles by bringing it to the counter at the airport to be brought by the counter staff to the respective island I was in. Fantastic service. I love the way the whole place is inter-connected and very mindful of their customers.

Great Hotel”

Great Hotel and lovely staff. We arrived late getting in from Singapore and as the pick up was for multiple guests we had to wait a short time before getting taken to H78, which we didnt mind at all. After flying all day it was great to be able to have a stretch and some food. Once at our hotel we checked in, great customer service and everything was exactly as the pictures we saw on the internet. Breakfast was good. Room was clean and staff were so happy and willing to cater to our every need. This was a just a stop over to our Maldives Resort but worth the money to be able to chill a little bit before heading off. Thanks H78 what a awesome stay.

Great hotel for a layover”

My boyfriend and I stopped over in Male Island before continuing onto our Summer Island final destination. Great location - right on a strip of the beach. There wasn't too much around the hotel in terms of restaurants. We ended up eating at the hotel restaurant most of the time, and we were pleasantly satisfied! The staff however, were the best part. They're super attentive and friendly...and made our stay at h78 that much more enjoyable!

Good Night of Sleep”

We had to stay at Male for a night since seaplane wasn't operating by the time we've arrived in Maldives. Picked this hotel because it was close to the airport (a 10min drive). There isn't much nearby but the hotel is situated right across the beach which is awesome for sunrise. Room was spacious, had no problem lying 2 28in suitcases on the floor. Had staff escorting us from airport to hotel and back. Our booking includes breakfast but we had to take the first seaplane to our resort so we didn't really get to enjoy it. Overall, it was alright for a night stay.

Good Choice of Hotel”

Upon arrival we were picked up at the airport as promised. We shared the transfer with another couple. Journey to the hotel was about 10 - 15 mins or so. Once we arrived tge hotel staff greeted us at the hotel entrance. It's a small cozy hotel. On the ground floor it was the restaurant and 1st floor was the tiny reception office and so was our room. It's clean, cozy and good enough for 2 adults. Reception staff mentioned that they have given us a complimentary upgrade to a seaview room. That was a nice gesture of them. Room is equipped with AC, flatscreen TV, standing shower with heater, toilet and bathroom amenities. Breakfast the next day was simple and ok, hotel is also located near the supermarket which opens at 8am. So thats where you can get your groceries before going on to the Islands to spend the rest of your holidays. As we arrived late last night amd there was no seaplane/speed boat that do transfer at night, so we have to stay 1 night in Hulhumale.

An unexpected stay”

Staying in Hulhumale was not part of our Maldives vacation plan. We missed our flight to Male because of a delay in our flight from Manila to Kuala Lumpur. The hotel we booked in Maafushi can't accommodate us for another night because they're fully booked so we opted to book a place to stay in Hulhumale. We ended up choosing h78. The staff were super nice and accommodating. They provide a map of Hulhumale and Male with the must-see places. While waiting for our flight back to Kuala Lumpur, we had a chance to visit Male (which was not part of the plan as well). The view from our room was spectacular.

Right one the beach - very friendly staff”

We had one night before going to our resort and spent it at h78. Airport transfer was included and worked very smoothly. Nice and roomy car. The hotel (we had two double rooms) was nice and clean and right by the beach. Everybody working at the hotel were very friendly and accomodating. The hotel has a roof terrace with a nice view. We arrived late and left quite early the next morning so we didn't really explore much in the area. breakfast was good with some local specialities as well as a continental breakfast. Transfer back to the airport is included as well.
