Good value for money”
Was staying at Express in for a 2 day trip to Male. Rooms were clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Knew a lot about the island of Hulhumale thanks to them. Location is practically perfect. It's right next to the beach. A restaurant is right in front of it. There's a grocery just down the street, which is no more than a minute walk away. The town center is also just 3 - 5 minutes away by walking. And the ferry terminal to Male is 15 minutes away. Oh and the bus stop is also right in front of it so you can easily get a cheap ride to the airport. Overall, good value for money thanks to clean rooms and the great location.

we book for express inn. but because heavy rain before we go to maldive, so some of the room leaked. we transfer to the hotel near the hotel name sunny suites hotel. because of this case, they give us complimentary for transfer in and out to Airport. All Staff are friendly and very helpful. Room include breakfast, event it's not to much choice for breakfast but they're make good breakfast for us. Hotel near beach with walking distance aprox 5 minutes.

Awesome Stay! Perfect Location and Good Food.”
Thanks for making my short stay at Hulumale memorable. Very Clean rooms and nice location. Very near-by there are multiple Indian Restaurants which serve very good food. Super markets also near-by. The Hotel arranged for Taxi to Ferry Terminal as well. Also, this hotel has direct bus connectivity from Male Velana Airport which is very good.

Good for transit stay”
lady receptionist is very helpful in terms of giving us direction on where to eat and direct us to go to MALE Island by ferry. location is walking distance by bus station which is 20 mins from airport by bus and 10mins by car shuttle. doorstep to the beach. breakfast is very basic but only 50usd per night so overall value for money.

Convenient location ”
It’s a good place to stay in Hulhumalé for holiday or transit, room was just nice I check in with sea view room. It’s a very small balcony which link with the bathroom very special cute design. Like it white clean bathroom with the sunlight balcony. Airport shuttle bus stop just 100m from this Inn same goes to the beachside. Near by with lots of beachside restaurant and cafe. WIFI available in room, signal is strong but keep on disconnecting on and off. Definitely a good choice to pick!

Perfect stay for a transfer night”
We found this hotel perfect for our needs to have a hotel close to airport that wasn't too expensive. Rooms are clean, but a bit small and so is the hallways so it might not be good for a family, for those who brings big suitcases or for those who wish to stay longer than one or two nights. It wasn't fancy in any way, but just an ordinary hotel with nice and helpful staff. Big plus that you can actually see the bus stop where you get the bus back to the airport from the reception.

Highly Recommended!”
The hotel was just near the bus station. It was the 3rd station from the airport. It will take only maximum of 15 mins from airport to the hotel. And the fare will only cost 10rufiya per pax. The 1st room that they gave us, the ac was not cooling however, the lady (i think the supervisor, sri lankan) was very kind, she transferred us on a different room with a better view and i think more spacious room. Maybe it was a complimentary upgrade. :) The staffs was very friendly and nice. The supervisor (the sri lankan lady) , the other 2 guys on duty (may 1, 2018) and our tour guide, shobu. It was a great stay for 1 night!

Good location”
Easy to reach the hotel by airport bus. The beach is just 2 mins walk from hotel. Not far from main bus station where you can buy a bus card to Male. We stay here one night before the flight on the next day.

quick and helpful”
we stayed at the hotel for only 7 hours but the staff picked us up at the airport, got us back to the airport the next morning, very early, and contacted our next destination to sort out our seaplane.

Transit hotel - near the airport ”
We stayed here for 1 night at the start of our trip and 1 night at the end. It’s location is perfect, only 20 rufiyaa on the bus and 10 minutes to the airport. Wouldn’t recommend the area for longer stays. The room was nice, beds were extremely comfy, breakfast was really good too! The WiFi however was basically none existent, it barely worked.

Excellent”
It's decent for an overnight stay, which I did to catch a domestic flight the next day. Airport shuttle bus stop is like 20m from hotel doors, and the beach is very close-by too. AC works ok, and the facilities are basic but clean. I'd recommend this place if you're trying to find a place to sleep for a night or two.

Its 3 star hotel, suit for overnight stay only.”
Its a 3 star budget hotel. Cant be 4 star. Staff are very good in english, friendly and service was very good. Hotel room facilities is not 100% perfect. Shower gel container is empty and in broken condition. Found some tissues inside toilet bowl. No tooth brush and paste provided in this hotel. No Phone in room and no lift. Room abit smelly. But after we informed the staff, they spray the room and refilled shower gel. Mini mart is 3 mins walking distance. I booked the hotel through Agoda for USD 40.38, Deluxe double room sea view with breakfast. When i check-in here, the front desk said, the reservation was changed to Bookings.com. No problem with that, the price was still same. Additionally, service charge 10%, tax 12%, environmental fee USD 6.00 per night. Total cost per night was about USD 55.26. Airport shuttle service cost USD10 or MVR 100 per trip. Overall, its good for overnight stay only.

Above average”
The hotel is well located in Hulhumale next to the coast and not far from the airport shuttle bus station, and 20min walking to the ferry to Male. When we arrived there was no warm water, so we had to get a cold shower. Furthermore, the whole bathroom got flooded after shower. The staff appeared to be helpful bringing up the suitcases to the room but actually were only after a tip, which made us feel quite unconfortable. We also felt they were trying to fool us when they asked us to pay for the breakfast that was actually already include in the reservation. The room had no good curtains and the light came in through the bathroom door. For one night acceptable but not recommendable for anything else.

Very good”
The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room had a nice view of the beach. The only con is they forgot to pick us up at the airport even though I informed them about it days before. We had to call them up from the airport so they could pick us up.

Budget hotel surpasses expectations. ”
We stayed at the Express Inn as it was budget while we were awaiting our flight back home. We booked purely on price but were surprised at how close to the beach this Inn is. Lovely air-conditioning, tasty breakfast, clean bedlinen and room, nice wee balcony and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
