Great hotel

We arrived late at night and found this to be a fantastic hotel for a night stay before checking into our Maldives resort. The hotel was clean, with all amenities we expected and more. Breakfast was more than what we expected.

Comfortable stay for an overnight in the capital. Near a nice playground so great for kids, also near the fish market. Transfer to/from airport is via taxi but they will kindly arrange for this so it is a great help. Breakfast is good too.
