The manager is very kind and warmly welcomes me to the hotel. Even the room is too small and a little old. But I can stay comfortable. Especially male receptionists take care of us with friendly and very very good services everyday since the first day 'til last day for 5 day 4 night. So impressed. This hotel is far from the pier around 5 blocks. It's far more than others but not too far to walk. You'll get a peaceful and quiet area without any danger. The room contains fridge. Shower with central warming. A bottle of water…

Arora Inn averages 4.2 out of 5 across 128 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Arora Inn offers genuine Maldivian hospitality with personalized attention—ideal for guests who appreciate friendly service, island excursions, and a well-located stay. While rooms may be modest and amenity standards can vary, the warmth of staff and value make it a compelling budget-midrange option.
My husband and I really enjoy to staying in this hotel, the staffs are not, the area not too busy, the room is big, clean and nice. The lobby have full of the water spots equipment are free to use, just have to clean and return it after use.👍🏻 The only things that they have to improve are, there’s not clothes drying rack in the room and the water boiler is rust😱 The breakfast is boring, not much choice and you have to request for a tea or coffee.
