Star View Inn

Male

Although this boutique hotel has good location, it is very run-down and not well-kept...photos posted indeed very deceiving.  Hotel staff are all Bangladeshi (some of not well-trained) except the manager cum owner who is a local Maldivian.  Service needs vast improvement. Entire hotel with mushy smell with some torn wallpapers and worn sofas. We were given a room without key (only could be locked while inside the room) as we were told the set of keys were missing and they could not find the extra set of room keys.  The most horrific experience was our mattress were infested by bed bugs (well-fed red coloured bed bugs as in photo attached). Breakfast only ready after 8.30am. Overall, it was an unpleasant one night stay with 'added bonus' of bed bugs bites.

Beware of Bed Bugs

I stayed in this hotel for one night with my friend. he was from Brazil. Both of us were visiting Maldives on a very short stint. I must say this hotel is the most affordable hotel on the Hulhumale beach. Their closeness to the beach is also good and they serve nice breakfast. They can improve a bit on their ambiance as it has not a very pleasant smell near the reception and in the lobby. rest everything was good.

Comfortable Stay

If there was a half star option I would rate it 3,5 stars. I only wanted to stay 1 night, but due to severe weather boats got cancelled and I was stuck on Hulhumale for 3 nights and so also stuck in this place. The guys running the place are lovely, but that does not make it a great place to stay. Though it is cheap and ok to stay. Wifi is not good!!!!

My bathroom was smelly and it got worse every day. At my 3th day it was awful. Rooms are nice, but cramped, hardly space for a suitcase. I would not recommend staying on this island, better stay somewhere in Male. There is nothing around here only some locals on the street. Really quiet island and although some tourist places popping up, I felt like a stranger here, not really the warmest welcome to Maldives. No safety issues at all, very safe, just not a relaxed vibe, Male is better!

Not the best, not the worst

Even though the staff is very nice and helpfull the room did defintely not live up to our expectation. The hotel got a big problem with mold and the whole place smells like it. Also the sheets (even though probably washed) look a bit dirty. The pictures of the room are a bit deceiving as they look defintely nicer than the rooms actually are. The rooftop terrass is a quite nice place to sit. The transfer to the airport was about 20-25 minutes late and costs 10 USD one way. And please keep in mind an additional tax which you pay on top of the roomprice of about 22 %.

Disappointing stay

I think this place was okey to stay nights. Room was very clean and bed good. Aircon worked well. Staff was so friendly. They helped us a lot with everything. They even promise to take care our extra baggages when we are travelling around Maledives, so we dont have to pay expensive airport savemoney. Food was ok also. Normal breakfast, sausages was so good. And they make it when you want it. So nothing bad to say. Price and place was great. Wi-fi was normal.
