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.

We were very happy with our short stay here. The airport meet went well, the lady at the reception desk was very helpful as were all of the staff. We had to leave early and they organized a 6 AM buffet breadfast for us, which was delicious. So this is an excellent hotel in our view.

When booking property, no information that the fitness centre was at least a 7-10 min walk away and that it is closed on friday as well as only 12-12 on saturday when i checked out. I chose The Somerset precisely because of the fitness centre, but it was disappointing I could not use it at all. Brandon

Transfer staff were excellent, well mannered and very informative. Shame the rest of the stay was terrible. Inaccurate description, total lies. Staff on site were hostile. Breakfast order was so late we ended up leaving without it arriving as our transfer was due, despite asking if it was coming. We arrived with an hour for breakfast but still they were so slow. I would not recommend this hotel.
