My wife and I recently stayed at The Somerset Hotel in Malé and had a nice experience. The rooms were very clean, and the entire hotel was very well kept. The staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to assist — special thanks to Bibek (helping the wife with tangled jewelry 😊), Afzal, Mees, and Bento. Angel was truly a rock star and went above and beyond to make our stay even better. The location is perfect for exploring Malé, and both the restaurant and breakfast were excellent. Highly recommend staying here if you're in the area!

Getting there
The Somerset Hotel is in the Malé area, about 2.7 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport on Hulhulé. Hulhumalé is joined to the airport island by road, and the Sinamalé Bridge links the airport side with Malé, so the transfer is short.
A city stay suits a first or last night around an international flight, or a base for ferries and speedboats out to the nearby local islands of North and South Malé atolls.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Novina (on the same island block), Beehive Central (200 m) and The Park House (200 m). On a local island or in the city, stays this close share the same streets, beaches and ferry stops, which makes them easy to compare.
