Good overnight option for the capital
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.

The hotel was good value. The staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. The hotel restaurant was very good. The hotel gym (5 minutes walk) was exceptional. The area around the hotel is safe but chaotic, lots of motor bikes and people.

Great service but basic hotel
The service was excellent and very friendly. They even gave us a travel breakfast to go for our early flight. They did a great job of communicating about our stay and coordinating to get us back to the airport for our transport. The area is very busy. The room is very small and basic and we even had one of the larger rooms. It was clean.The bed was not comfortable but it served the purpose to stay overnight and wait until we could get the plane out to the W resort. I think it was good enough for what you could get close to the airport for somewhat reasonable cost(by Maldives standard) before transport to the outlying island resorts. Everything is expensive there.

A great transit hotel
Here's a polished version of your review: --- Somerset Hotel in Male is an excellent choice for a transit stay. Just a 10-15 minute drive from the airport, the hotel provides convenient pick-up and drop-off services. Situated in a central location near attractions like the national museum, republic plaza, fish market, and the president's palace, it's perfect for a quick walking tour, which can be completed in under 30 minutes. The fish market, in particular, offers an intriguing stingray watchout, providing a unique experience not commonly found elsewhere in the Maldives. Additionally, the hotel is within walking distance of Rasfannu beach, although it's worth noting that the beach is relatively small. There are also several good eateries nearby, such as Seagull, Lemongrass, and D'Olive, as well as the convenience of Seagull supermarket. The family room at Somerset Hotel is spacious, with the staff accommodatingly arranging the sofa bed for the kids. Late checkout was offered, which was greatly appreciated due to our late flight. While the breakfast provided is basic, it is sufficient. Overall, we were pleased with our stay at Somerset Hotel and would consider returning in the future.

Great service, highly reccommend.
I'd highly recommend this hotel. We spent a night here before and after going out to the island resorts. The free transfer is a bonus and made it a seamless experience getting from the airport to the hotel and back again. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I also love the attention they pay in not utilising single use plastic for their amenities and in room water bottles. What really made both our stays enjoyable was the incredible service. All of the staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was easy and enjoyable. Special thanks to Vincent for recognising us on our return stay and organising our rooms to be close together. It's small things like this that sets service apart. We have just returned from 5 days at a 5* island and the service at the Somerset was way better than it was at the island we stayed at. We also had dinner at the in house restaurant which was delicious and very convenient.

We had a wonderful stay at The Somerset Hotel. Staff went above and beyond from when we arrived at the Male airport, to when we left the airport the next day. They were efficient and friendly, and the hotel was quiet and comfortable. We also enjoyed a great breakfast and lunch in the hotel's restaurant.

Best Hotel in Male
Strategically located near the jetty's that take you the islands. The souvenir shops, national museum are also nearby. Breakfast was great.. not a wide selection but the hot meals were very good, especially the chicken or tuna fried rice. Staff was very helpful. Special thanks to Nabeeh who was exceptionally helpful and kind. We had memorable adventures in Maldives as he patiently helped us with our excursions.
