The best service & hotel you could ask for ”
I don’t know where to start with this amazing place, with the best staff! Upon arrival we had a representative waiting for us, he was extremely polite and explained everything to us - where to change money, where to buy a SIM card from, etc and then pushed our trolley with our massive suitcases to the van which drove us to the hotel. Upon arrival another staff member picked up our suitcases, there was a welcome drink and smiley faces. The room was extremely clean, cooled and the fridge and mini bar were filled. The hotel has a great location, the service, I can’t talk enough about - spot on!! The food in the hotel is SUPER delicious and average priced. We are elsewhere and it was terrible, but everything we have had from the hotel’s restaurant was top quality. All the staff and especially the manager made sure we feel welcomed, they helped us with organising us a PCR test, contacting our resort, organising taxis and a transfer back to the airport and we can’t thank them enough. Words can’t express how pleased we are to have stayed there and meet the people we have met. The hotel is 1000% worth it and we would have loved to stay there more. We are at our resort at the moment around 50miles from Malé, with everything super expensive and the horrible service we are receiving just makes us wish we were back at Samann Grand We will be coming back on the way back to England and will stay again at Samann Grand just so that we can taste local culture, beautifully cooked delicious and fresh food, and the warmth and kindness all the staff from the Maldives, Sri Lanka and the Philippines have blessed us with upon our first stay. Thank you so much guys and we’ll see you again in a week! Kindest regards, Elly & Kattleya

Easy Overnight Stay at the Samann”
We arrived very late to Male, and that meant we couldn't go straight to our island resort. We opted to stay for one night at the Samann Grand. It's just over the bridge from Velana Airport, took 10 minutes to get there via transfer. The Samann Grand team organised all the transfers to and from the airport, and liaised with our resort to ensure we got to the airport the next morning in time for our seaplane. It was very smooth and very easy. We were very grateful. Our room wasn't gigantic, but it was clean and well set up. We had a restful sleep, until 5am when the Call to Prayer woke us up. That didn't bother us however, it was a beautiful thing to wake up - the biggest mosque was virtually next door and our balcony looked straight over Male. Too excited about our Maldives holiday to be bothered about being woken up early. Breakfast was basic, but perfectly acceptable buffet spread for a small hotel. We were very happy with our overnight stay and thank you very much to the team. We appreciate you taking care of all the little details for us!

Great one night stay”
Stayed for one night before departing for our seaplane in the morning. Hotel immaculate and room lovely. Staff spoke to the seaplane company for us and organised our departure time as well. Transferred us to the airport and handed us over to the Siyam world rep. We also ate in the restaurant and this was lovely and great value for money. If you are in need of a hotel before or after a stay in one of the islands I would highly recommend this.

Brilliant ”
Clean and modern hotel in Malé within walking distance of all the city’s main sights. Room was very comfortable and had everything I needed and staff were wonderful. There’s also a nice restaurant with a rooftop terrace. No alcohol served here which I believe isn’t available anywhere in Malé.

Perfect transit hotel in Male”
What can I say, 5/5 service all around. The hotel picked us up from Male airport for an overnight stay before going to our resort the next day via seaplane. The staff, room, hotel and location are all amazing. Highly recommend to anyone needing a stay before or after their resort stay in Male and flying the next day. The on premises restaurant is also great and they have a great breakfast buffet. Great, modern rooms and highly recommend!

We only stayed one night as a stopover as we left The Maldives, but we enjoyed our stay at the Samann Grand. It was very clean with comfortable beds and a very helpful staff. They even opened for breakfast 15 minutes early to allow us to eat and still make our flight.

Nice overnight stay”
Still new looking 11 store hotel (built in 2018). Room was clean and very nice, large enough for 2. Beautiful brown and beige colors dominate the room and overall hotel impression. 10 minutes from the airport, complimentary shuttle bus with personal service at the airport. Very convenient. Restaurant on the 10th floor with nice view on the water/harbour. Roof top also with view over city and sea. Extremely friendly staff. Downsides: built next to a mosque. So around 5 am the muezzin is calling for the prayers. The hotel is offering complimentary ear buds in the room. Very thoughtful! You also can use them anytime because the rooms are very noisy. You here the other guests from the floor. But besides that, still a nice hotel to stay before you move onto your resort island the next day. I would come again.

Hotel is located next to the Mosque, walking distance to all historic and cultural attractions in Male.

Welcome drink and warm reception. It’s a small hotel. The reception is nice, clean. The rooms are small too, but comfortable. Wi-Fi is good. The breakfast could be better. We did dinner at the restaurant and it was a good experience. Very good food and wonderful service! The Mosque can be an issue. We wake up early in the morning…conclusively, it’s a good and fair offer.

I love everything about this hotel. The rooms are spotless. The staff is helpful and polite. The hotel has a pleasant atmosphere and the food is good and reasonable. Of all the hotels I have stayed at this is my favorite hotel in Male. They will also store your excess luggage in case you are going on a seaplane and your baggage weight is limited. This hotel is also close to the airport and gives you free airport transfers!
