Close to the beach and reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean but noisy, sound travels from everywhere into the room. Maybe top floor is better. I was on the second floor and all the lobby noise could be heard.

UI Inn, the best little hotel in Hulhumale
I stayed at UI Inn, Hulhumale for 7 days 6 night, and left this hotel on Saturday 12th, May, 2018 at 2pm. Saif (the staff in charge) allowed me a leniency to stay at least up to 3-5 hours after checkout time at 12 o' clock, that was because most guests were leaving to the other islands that day, and some new guests would arrive in the evening; otherwise he was unable to allow such leniency during peak season. I feel so satisfied with the courtesy and friendlyness of all staffs at UI Inn, especially Yunus, who took care of the cleanliness and frehness of the small single standard room I stayed for 6 nights at UI Inn. The Wi-Fi in this hotel is running very smoothly with high speed and for free! And the daily house keeping is excellent! Convenient and full air-con public buses to Male International Airport and Hulhumale Ferry Terminal are available around UI Inn and with very cheap prices. It takes only 10 minutes by bus from Hulhumale to Male Airport and only for MVR 20 (US $ 1.33). If people says, this little hotel is only good for a short stay before going to the other islands; to me either way is perfect, you can stay in this little hotel longer because they can provide various tours in a very competitive price. I loved the cleanliness at this little hotel and the beach nearby (only 20m from 2 separate buildings of UI Inn)!

Room is awful, staffs are nice
Stayed 1 night for the transfer to our resort... Most of the staffs are very nice, helpful and welcoming (especially the guy who greets at the airport and the driver) but the room is grimly dark and hot (in spite the aircon being at its lowest)... There are definitely BETTER hotels worth your money... only thing I really like here are the staffs...

One word - Rats
I would not recommend anyone to stay here. My friend and myself stayed here for a night before an early flight the next morning. At a first glance the room seemed ok. It seemed to have been recently refurbished. We both had a shower and settled in to watch tv. After a short while I heard a scratching sound above us. This increasing got worse followed by squeaking. We tried to phone reception, then realized the phone cable had been chewed through and wasn't connected to the wall. After going to reception to complain that we thought there were rats, we were told someone would come up to the room. 30 mins later, still no sign. At this point we had to vacate the room as we saw a rat running around the room (as you can imagine we panicked). We then Went back to reception shoeless as I wasn't hanging about to try and grab mine with rodents running around the room. Someone from reception went into the room while we watched from the door. He then proceeded to remove one of his shoes and moved some of the furniture. After a smack with his shoe he killed the rat, picked it up by the tail, didn't utter a word and left the room. We stood there in complete disbelief! We were then ignored and had to go back to reception to ask to be moved rooms as there were still rats running around! I'm still in shock. It wasn't an expensive hotel, we weren't expecting much, but we didn't expect rats in the room, rude staff or poor sanitation. Would not return!

Expect the unexpected.
Double bed means there will be 2 guests. Taxi fare will be doubled and counted with return fare. From 4usd offerred it will end up to 12-16usd. You shared the taxi with 3 others but all of you will be charged separately. Please use the bus for 20 Rufiyah or 2usd. My free breakfast was not offered on the first day. They return my money after showing the itinerary. The next day the same thing happened again, room only, no breakfast. I complained to the manager and it was corrected. The third morning it happened again. They are really insulting your intelligence. For 3 days the tv channels broke down. The room is not sound proof. The hot water does not last.

It's cheap but there's always a trade off
Staying in a family suit. The room was big. It was split to 1 main bedroom, another room which looked more like a living room with ceiling fan, sofa and single bed at a corner. However, there is only 1 air conditional which is located at the bedroom. If your kids have to sleep in the living room, they won't be able to get any air-con. You can't open up the windows because there will be mosquitoes. So, it's going to be very hot with just a ceiling fan and the single bed was at a corner. The bedroom can only accommodate 1 queen size bed so it's impossible to squeeze in 4 person for a good night sleep. Bathroom sink pipe is broken. When you turn on the tap to wash your hands, the water went straight down splashes on the floor instead of running through the sink pipe. I hope they can get it fix for the next customer. There are also ants crawling around the walls in the bedroom and onto my phone while I'm charging it. If you want to make sure you get air-con for your room, perhaps staying in a single room would be a better choice than a family suite. This Inn is suited for people who just want to get the 8 hrs sleep and go.

Dirty and bad service
It was a horrible hotel and really bad service and they take money for everything. The room was small, stinky of mold and the bed was stained and i wont even go into the bathroom that felt dirtier than outside streets. The service was very bad, I left one day earlier and my husband the next and it was a very bad ending to our trip.

This is a guesthouse hotel in Huhumale. The room smelled of smoke and the bell boy who showed my room flatly denied that it smelt of smoke. The sink was leaking and the water drained onto the bathroom floor. Worst of all, the air-conditioner started to overflow with water dripping into the room at 1:30 am. Tried calling the reception to report, but the phone was dead. Looked like they switched off the EPABX electricity and went to sleep. Had a terrible night without A/c. Reported all this to the reception next morning. Came back to the hotel after the diving trip, only to be told by the Hotel owner Nasser that I had physically damaged the A/c. This took me by a rude shock. I had an argument with him that how I can physically damage the A/c which was hung at ceiling level. He threatened me to make me pay for the physical damage. At the end of the argument, he said that if I wished I can check out of the hotel and that he will refund me money for the to come 2 nights stay. I was shocked by this suggestion. I was being thrown out of the hotel despite making 100% payment for my 3 night stay. Finally the owner Nasser agreed to transfer me to another room. The kitchen in the room was not to be used, despite being shown in the photo of the booking website. The internet connection too was patchy with the reception handing out expired code(s) and a working code had to be arrived by trial and error. The breakfast was below average. The overall service was poor.

Nothing like pictures
Expensive, breakfast is very stingy, no rooms have ocean views as they're back from the beach & other hotels block full view, rooms are outdated & nothing like pictures. Everything except the lounge is really old. Shower door doesn't open properly & alternates from hot & cold constantly. Staff are friendly, welcoming & helpful. We had issues with paying for 3, but the room not providing for 3 & our bed was wet from an open window. Staff went out of their way to fix it. Upon paying for our room we asked to discount the child rate due to what occurred. They did without questions & offered a free shuttle to the airport. Ok if you're a backpacker type standard, but for the $ we expected way more & like the pictures.
