Very helpful staff during our one night Transit stay. Woken up by some noise of other guests so walls are a little thin. Breakfast was nice and airport transfers worked well. Room was small but as a guesthouse in a busy city that is expected. Thank you to the staff at the Somerset

location of the hotel is inside an alley but that is nothing wrong about it as the town roads are generally narrow. The hotel is situated quite strategically to places of interest. Nice staff and very accomodating and service is good.

Somerset Hotel team is very friendly. The on-site restaurant is quite good (we enjoyed the breakfast). Rooms are small and in some cases awkwardly proportioned, as sometimes happens in city hotels. Centrally located in Male. Overall, a pleasant place to stay on the way to our island resort.
