Cosy, Friendly and Helpful”

Stayed at RBI for a few days and was happy with the decision. The location is great and the beach is practically at your door step. Plenty of restuarants and shops around so if you forget something, is just a few steps away. The breakfast is very good. But most of all, the people at the Inn are very helpful. The boss himself is very accommodating and even give us a room to showers and rest even though our flights is in the evening and also kept our fishes which we caught and intended to bring home with us. I would highly recommend RBI to any travellers coming to Male.

Location - just next to the beach. Very convenient.”

Pros Next to the beach 15mins drive from airport. Not a problem in Maldives coz the roads are good and traffic free. So can travel to any part easily. Food - not tried. Staff are very friendly and helpful The hulumale ferry terminal is just 1km walk from here, so travel to male City can be done by using the ferry which is walkable. No need of cab. It's a good place for a short duration of stay or transit. Price slightly on a higher side. Overall good stay.

No elevator ”

I paid $200/day for a penthouse, by default you expect basic facilities like elevator, but there wasn’t any at the hotel. We had to take 62 stairs every time to get to our room. It was the most unwelcoming thing, any hotel I stayed had elevator but not this. Breakfast offered isn’t that good, we didn’t eat both the days we stayed. It wasn’t $200 stay for sure, I later realized it’s a marketing trick, it’s worth $30/night. Staff members are very polite and helpful but this shouldn’t the reason to stay there.
