Surprisingly pleasant budget hotel!”
Flying from Malaysia at night and straight away to this hotel. It was amongst the cheapest in Hulhumale for 1 night stay. But the room was unexpectedly cozy and well decorated. The service by the receptionist was great and even have money changer. Cheers to the them for helping us get a taxi! Overall, it was a beautiful stay and an unforgettable honeymoon.

Acceptable”
The staff is very rude and uncultured! They didn't treat me nicely. They didn't clean my room, I asked them once and they clean, but the next day, they didn't clean my room or change the towels at all. The worst experience in my life, I will not recommend this hotel for longer staying.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff”
I've read great reviews about Newtown Inn and it has lived up to the expectations, however for anyone travelling in the off-season as I did, don't worry about getting a room well in advance, the street is full of similar inns and hotels, some might even be cheaper and they all have beatiful design. Finding it wasn't the easiest (I walked from the ferry station) because there are so many hotels that even locals don't know where each of them is and they sent me the other way... It's simple though, from the ferry you can walk down on the main road (it runs in the middle of the island) and turn right at the end. This junction is where the airport bus stops as well, so it's handy to know. It's maybe a 20 minute walk if you don't have too heavy luggage. Check-in and out was quick and efficient, wifi was good (haven't used it for anything demanding), staff are very attentive, food in the restaurant is delicious!, try a dinner on the rooftop. There is a no-bikini beach with a floating thing from which you can jump into the water, it's safe and cleared on the bottom so deep enough for jumps, absolutely great for older kids and adults who enjoy a bit of fun! My view was non-existent, I could touch the neighbouring wall if I had reached my hand out but I only stayed a day and spent most of it on the beach so it didn't bother me. My only problem was that I couldn't sleep as, being a light sleeper, I could hear doors bang and people talk in the hotel. The breakfast wasn't anything to write home about, a fried egg, a sausage, toast and butter, does the job. Airport bus costs 16 MVR if I recall, around 1$.

Excellent stay to experience local life”
I had a 1-night stay before I moved to the resorts. The hotel is brand new and the rooms even though being rather small they are very efficient (was surprised to see that even a 110V adapter was provided). In my opinion the best option if you want to stay close to the airport and experience local life. There is a new restaurant next to the hotel that provides great service from breakfast to dinner; I recommend though you walk around the city (that is perfectly safe) and try some of the local restaurants too. The greatest advantage of the hotel is their genuinely kind and attentive staff. Not only they catered to all of my needs, but they also arranged for a local guide to take me to Male at night and show my the local attractions!!! Regarding the city, you have to understand that it is a work on progress; there is a lot of construction and there is a lot of rubbish on the streets. In general I found the locals to be very welcoming and hospitable!! Great choice if you're on a budget, want to be close to the airport or want to experience local life!!

Great experience before our actual holiday”
It's our first time here and we've requested for pickup service (USD20 both trips for two person). The Inn is about 5-10mins drive from Male airport, don't think it's walk-able distance due to the fact that we arrived at night and it was dark, and the road is quite narrow for one to walk. We stayed at the old Newtown Inn, which was fine with us. We think it is much better as the area has more shops and cafe, but we don't have time to walk around, since it is just a night stay. WIFI is good. Breakfast is prepared and served when we're ready - toasts, eggs, sausages, youghurt, orange juice. Room is simple and good enough for our one night stay. Basic shampoo & shower gel is provided. 2 small water bottles are provided as well. The driver that drives us around is friendly chap. Overall experience is wonderful.

Superb Staffs”
If you arrived Male at night please don't waste your money being transfer to island resort straight away. Instead, book this hotel for 1 or 2 night and enjoy the Male city tour for $10 per person on the next day first as if you take Male walking city tour from your island resort it will cost you 10 times expensive!! I would really recommend you to take the walking city tour as you will know a lot of Maldives history. Its very interesting even the tour only about 2-3 hours since Male is really small! Back to this hotel: fast check-in service, polite & helpful staffs. Bear in mind room is really small but enough just for transit and clean! The housekeeping change the towel everyday. There is Indian Restaurant connected to this hotel so we bought white plain rice and they sent it to our room with plate, spoon & fork as we brought our canned & dried foods from home. Public beach is just 5 minutes away. The water is very clean and you can swim with the locals in evening. Local restaurants & convenience stores just around the corner are open until 11 p.m. if im not mistaken. Finally bus stop to/from Airport or jetty to Male just right in front of the hotel.

Excellent”
If you are looking for a Hotel near Airport and Male city then this is a good choice , but the famous islands are far away from this hotel, so before booking first decide what is your purpose of visit , if your requirement is near airport and Male/Hullumale then this is the right choice , otherwise not.

satisfy in Newtown Inn”
This is family hotel,room is small but very clean, it takes 10mins from airport to hotel, also provided transfer which US$10.00 per one way,breakfast is not enough but you can ask more,that's free. Generally speaking, it's good choice for stay in Male one night.

A friendly stopover inn”
Arrived late 2200H, was met by the Newtown Inn representatives and driven straight to the inn. Location is approximately 10 mins drive from Male airport. Reception and other staff were friendly and no hassles with check-in. Our room was at the 3rd floor hence the staff has to lug our luggage up three floors. Tiring I am sure. Included breakfast in the morning was at the adjacent restaurant name Bombay Darbaar. Breakfast was a quick and simple affair. Overall the stay was a quick transit. Hotel location was convenient near to airport by road.

Good for one night transit ”
My friend and I reached Male at quite late hours and our intention was to spend the night at a simple inn before we hit the resort the next day. New town inn did fulfil our criteria. Only thing is there is only one hairdryer in the entire inn for borrowing and breakfast was not up to expectation.

Good location, efficient staffs”
It's near to the airport! Staff picked me and my husband at the airport, we took about 10mins to the hotel. Staffs are efficient and helpful. We took seaplane at 6:00am on the following day, the staff proposed to pack the breakfast and let us take away. That was great even it was simple breakfast( egg, ham and toast). No elevator, we needed to take the luggages to 2/F but it is not a matter for us actually .

Friendly Staff, Free & Good Wifi speed.”
It was a small tiny room with no toothbrush. Only provided you with kettle, tea & coffee, shower gel and shampoo. Which was good enough. We only needed the room for 6 hours while waiting for our flight and we didn't want to wait at the airport. The free wifi was good while we waited. There's nothing much to see around the quiet streets and most of the area was under development, or empty plots of land. They provide van to pick you up ($20 for both ways), all you need is to tell the Information Counter at the airport, and the hotel will come pick you up in 10 mins. The Hotel is 5mins drive away on the Airport Island.

quick airport hotel”
We stayed here over night to catch an early flight out of Male. The staff are helpful and friendly, the hotel is budget style with comfortable bed. It is also clean but a little small just because we have 2 big dive bags so it was hard to move around in the room. The room has free internet access in the room which is great!

New and very clean hotel”
Stayed there in July with colleagues. The room was very clean and the staff were polite. The only downside is the location: far from the Male town. But would recommend for a night's stay before transferring to the islands.
