Teh attached restaurant was good - for both breakfast and an evening meal, and the staff were very approachable and friendly. The room was fairly basic and a bit old and worn looking. The sofa bed our children slept on sagged badly and they rolled into the middle so not the best night's sleep. I didn't stay in any other hotels in Male so can't compare but this felt a little underwhelming to me for the price.
