Just right, although some room for improvement
Hotel is well located, staff are friendly and hospitable, bfast is good, and rooms are in general clean and spacious enough, some even have amazing sea view (we got lucky on that front thanks to Raymond at the front desk). Just what you need, specially as you will not be spending the entire day there. Room for improvement: although we could tell the towels and bed linen had been washed, they had permanent stains on them/looked rather old, which as a guest is not the most comforting thing to experience. Quality of pillows and condition thereof were more of a miss. Under the bed, one could also see no cleaning in a long time had occurred. Could we suggest water-bottle refill is offered to guests instead of single-use 500ml plastic bottles? Hotels should be setting the example for a more sustainable hospitality industry in Maldives, and should be creating the awareness in travellers, not the other way around.
Great service
This hotel is located just north east of the Male airport (a few kilometres) and is near the coast and beach area but somewhat away from the bustle of Central Male. There is an airport transfer service which is important in Male. Perfect for a short stopover or a longer stay. The pricing is also quite reasonable too for Male where prices are in US$ and can vary quite a bit. The service is very proactive and efficient.
The receptionist TRIED TO SCAM US with a stupid lie when it was actually overbooked!
So it happened on the 12th Of January of 2019 (Today). We booked this hotel for a night from the 12th to the 13th of January 2018 as we’re having an early flight on the 13th at 8:55, that’s why we had to leave our previous resort and stayed at somewhere nearby the airport. We arrived at the Lonuveli Hotel around 4 O’clock in the afternoon with another English speaking couple. Upon check in, the receptionist made sure that we settled our payment before he revealed that their hotel is actually having problem with the piping system. Due to that, they would have to unfortunately send all the guests to their so-called sister hotel which is about 4 shop lots away from it. We came to this so-called SISTER HOTEL of theirs which is actually called Season Beach Hotel and it looks totally mich cheaper than Lonuveli. As soon as we entered the room, it was so small that the toilet is literally one little step away from the bed. There’s not even enough space on the floor to open up the luggage. It came to our realization very quickly that this guy from the reception has fooled with us. So we decided to play smart and checked the two hotels before we went to confront him about the problem. We approached him and my partner said that he was shocked about the room and he used the excuse regarding the piping system and staffs. I was getting pissed and started asking him if by any chance he could move us to other hotel that is similar to the standard of Lonuveli. He told me that the hotels down this road are all the same. I got really bumped and told him not to fool with us as they are obviously two different hotels based on the prices on the internet and stuffs. Then he said sorry and promised he would check what he could do about this. Later he came and told us that we got lucky as he still one room available but we would have to wait. As it was only one night, so we decided not to make it more ugly. But you can see the hotel was actually overbooked and they were trying to fool us with a much cheaper alternative. I’m sorry, but I didn’t pay 82 USD to listen to your problem with your hotel and to put up to a much cheaper alternative than what we had paid for. Finally we got our room, it was much better than the other one. But still, for 82 USD, the greasy floor and the toilet plus the stupid excuse before, this is the worst stay ever in my life.
Cheap room with a good view for overnight
The room was small and clean. Air con didn’t get very cold. And the water wouldn’t turn warm at all. We called the front desk and complained, they didn’t seem to care. Overall it’s a decent room for 1 night when passing through.
Fantastic Location
The hotel is located right on the beach which is of a big advantage. Climbing up the stairs (no elevators) if you are on the second floor may not be desirable for a few guests. Food options are limited for vegetarians. Overall decent property for a layover before you head to a resort island.
