        Good night rest & prompt email replies”

        We were happy with our 1-night stay at Vilu Rest Hotel. Upon arrival at the airport, Ms. Jenny, Vilu Rest Front desk staff, was already waiting for us at the arrival hall when our flight landed at around 8.30 p.m. Ms. Jenny was very warm and welcoming, and was always prompt in replying my emails requesting for airport transfer prior to our trip. The double room is exactly like what is shown in the Agoda pictures. Clean & good for a transit stay before we head to the resort the following day. We enjoyed their Maldivian breakfast (choose either continental or Maldivian), tasty and enough for us to start the day! The airport transfer driver was a jovial looking man who was eager to help us with our luggage. Our double room has a partial sea view, it is not right at the beach but it is more than good enough for a good night rest.

        Mid-range value hotel”

        Booked two rooms here for the family. It's an ideal transit hotel and away from the hustle & bustle of Male. It's a good location, on the beach with plenty of cafes nearby. Unfortunately, the beach is covered in plastic. There is also a lot of building work going on so there is a bit of noise but only during the day. As a transit, I would definitely stay again, the staff are really helpful and the beds comfortable.

        It was a very reasonably priced accommodation for people seeking a night's rest before flying off to the islands. It was clean and tidy. They even provided airport transfer which was great.

        Convenient, comfortable and reasonably priced hotel”

        nice small hotel located very near to beachfront. 15-30mins public bus travel from the airport. Nice staff, free breakfast set (Maldivian or Continental), clean and hotel-type room. The room may look a bit small and packed but the design is good. The view from the room is great too. Elevator is installed so it is convenient for visitors having big luggage.

        Very clean room and toilet, bed comfortable, room size not too spacious ”

        The best part is services of the stuff., even help me to look after my children when we are having our breakfast . Nearby got at least 3 groceries shops & 1 big supermarket that we can buy most of the things needed. Bus stop is around 10 minutes walk which we can take the bus to the hulhumale ferry terminal to Male city at MVR 3/person. Local food restaurant just behind the hotel and down the street there is a Shell Bean that make great pizza.

        Pros: Clean hotel, friendly staffs, good location. Good airport pick and drop service. Breakfast is very basic. Cons: Very small rooms. If you have large bags, difficult to walk around the room. Over all nice place for one night before you head for your island resorts.

        The owner and staff were accommodating. They were able to help us going around the island and arranged with our hotel the next day... the owner even ushered us through his motorcycle to check the island. Aside from the airport pick up, the breakfast is good!

        Above average”

        Hotel located not far from airport but the 5 usd/pax charge for the pick up is quite expensive while u can book taxi with fixed price of 3 usd per taxi anywhere in Hulhumale. Room is clean but the bedsheet is coarse with fur, not convenient to sleep. We do ask for the transport to Male city through highway and the hotel charge very expensive for 10 usd per person for us, 4 adults while u can book taxi for 100 rufiya for all of us with the kids. Hotel said taxi is not available but we can easily hail the taxi outside the hotel. Dont easily listen to them for the transportation cost.
