Worth every penny!! ”
We had a night's hault here before we transferred to our resort!! Starting from receiving us at the airport to leaving us back to our transfer spot, it was smooth and effecient! The hotel rooms are small, very Clean, which I loved as and do excellent if you are in male for a a day or 2!!! The hotel is nearby and doesn't take more than 10 to 15 min by car. It's inside the city, so you don't have to catch a ferry or anything to get to it. Also the Staff very helpful and polite and breakfast was basic but good. Overall a nice, sparkling clean hotel which is worth the money you spend. Thanks to everyone at Star Shell!!

Best hotel near airport, Free airport transfer. Walk distance to Beach. ”
This hotel close to male airport, this is perfect stay for lay over or stop over in Male. They have free airport transfer service for all guest, this is great for late arrival or early departure. All staff are really kind and ready for help to guest anytime. Free Breakfast is simple but good for start day. Room is comfortable and very quiet in night time. Fine restaurant and supermarket is walk distance. Beach is walk distance ( only few steps) Nothing negative. Great value. Will definitely stay again, and highly recommend this hotel.

one night stay ”
We stayed here just for one night because our flight arrived late in the afternoon and we could not get to our resort without a seaplane and seaplane won't operate after 3:30pm. So we stayed here for one night only. Value for money great, location is nice we walked around the discover the neighborhood and have dinner plenty of restaurants around. We felt safe. and most importantly it was clean so it served its purpose for one night stay.

Ideal stopover before en route to Maldivian resorts”
We stayed for a night at Star Shell before we transited to our resort the next day. The hotel was clean, breakfast was substantial and service was good. Highly recommend to arrange airport transfers via the hotel as it was extremely fuss free and reasonably priced.

Thoroughly impressed despite a 12 hr stay. ”
Stayed here for less than 12 hours yet thoroughly impressed by the friendliness and service of the entire staff. As a solo traveler, didn’t even need to lift a finger to carry my luggage! Breakfast was also very hearty and speedy, thank you so much to Shaanti and the entire Star Shell team for the warm welcoming stay. One note, bring your own shampoo and soap for a more luxurious shower as the amenities provided are very basic.

One of the best choices at Hulhumale”
We stayed our last day of Maldives tour at Hulhumale to explore this city and also Male. And Star shell was undoubtedly the best choice we could find. The hotel is simple, small , 3 storied with about 15rooms only. Our room was also little but cozy and comfortable with a clear window to watch for the not so busy city life around. Staffs were very friendly, They would help you with anything you need. The complimentary breakfast was very simple but tasty. In this price range, this is undoubtedly the best hotel you can find at Hulhumale. They didn’t send the pick up for us at airport but it didn’t matter as so many taxis are available and they only charge 5usd either way.

Nice hotel”
Clean hotel located near the beach and airport. Staffs were friendly and accomodating. Hotel is located near pharmacies, mini grocery stores and local restos. Hotel restaurant menu i think needs more variety(they only serve Indian/Sri lankan dishes and few american dishes like burgers , fries and chips). Maybe they can add menus from Vietnam or Thailand. Overall it was a great experience staying at hotel star shell

Hotel is pretty good and only 10min from airport. Hotel room and bathroom were cleaned.Bed is pretty comfortable. Cafe in lobby has good collection of food. Staff is very nice. Breakfast is kind of basic but does the job. Plenty of other cafes and restaurants near by walking distance. Overall we liked the hotel and enjoyed our stay at star shell hotel.

The ONE and ONLY airport transfer hotel you need”
Every touch point of Star Shell is perfect. From messaging after booking at Agoda to touch down. The staff that received us has a pleasant smile that says welcome to Maldives. Hotel is near the airport. So it was great to get out of the airport to rest immediately. There are lots of marts few steps away so if you need anything snacks or toiletries it is all there. The staffs from front counter was great. They helped me to check with my resort which I need to go to tomorrow. The seaplane schedule is so last minute from the resort so I was anxious. But star shell called the local number for me and followed up and kept me updated constantly, keeping me out of the dark. So i rate this perfect service for good follow up. I cannot see anything at night but when I woke up and walk around, surprisingly the beach is just behind the hotel. In short, if you are looking for airport transfer hotel, I will say, forget about any other hotel, star shell is the best one. Just book it.

Everything was just too perfect and the hotel is very well maintained and clean. Very courteous and professional staff, specially Brito on the frontdesk was quite helpful. Beach is just a minute walk away and the inclusive airport transfers was the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!
