Mookai Hotel

The hotel has been renovated, so the old reviews don't do it justice. This is a great price for value. Recently renovated rooms, with good service, an elevator, bog rooms, and Western-styled bathroom fittings. I highly recommend staying there, particularly if you need to take the ferry to the airport the next day (50m away).

Thisbwas my first solo travelling .i firstly checked out for safety. As i thought it was comfortable and safe.staff also friendly .highly recommend for solo woman travelers

Good service and very comfortable hotel Nice rooms, spacious, windows and balcony too

The previous reviews are all quite old, we were a little dismayed when our tour booked us here before our week long trip, but I have to say we needn't have worried.|There has obviously been a good amount of renovation, the rooms all look newly painted, there were new sockets, albeit English, which is good for us, and many of the rooms seem to have new AC units.|We were very happy with our stay and booked a day room for when our trip returned before our midnight flight. We were greeted like old friends and are very comfortable relaxing and using the WiFi to write our blog as we have had no WiFi for a week and it's working well.|Our trip was fully catered so we had no meals here so I can make no comment on breakfast. |The location by the airport ferry is unbeatable and we would have no hesitation about recommending the Mookai or returning.

It's all clean and fairly recently decorated. Room and bathroom were small but adequate. Only complaints: lack of plug sockets and in particular none near the bed; shower curtain instead of screen is impractical; although it was nice to have a balcony and view over the road the doors didn't have a great seal so the aircon had no effect on the bed near the door. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful including recommending that we buy water from the shop across the road instead of the hotel and breakfast outside! I was annoyed that we were told on arrival that the pool was closed for refurbishment because we really chose the hotel because of the pool. I was also annoyed that I booked with complimentary transfers but when I contacted the hotel to ask about the transfers they declared that the transfers are no longer included. Obviously they eventually retracted that after I complained but it shouldn't have been an issue at all. Overall it's fine for a short stay but overpriced without the pool and don't expect high spec.

Very polite staff but the entire hotel needs a fully renovation.Dirty, old furniture and the room wasn't smell well. No comparison between photos and the reality of the rooms. To be honest we felt in danger during our stay in Male.

There’s only one power outlet in our room. So i have to remove the tv and frdge plug just to charge my other devices. There’s a common area where you can use the dining table and sofa. ||||Internet is not stable. It’s very slow and some times it’s not working. ||||The toilet is very smelly. Room is very old. It doesn’t look like a hotel. This needs a major renovation.||||Our booking have a free airport transfer. Funny tho, upon check out I was expecting for a “car” for the airport transfer but only to find out that the so-called “airport transfer” is via PUBLIC FERRY. If only I knew I would’ve took a cab to go to the airport. ||||On the brighter side, location is perfect. Near the jetty, and bus stops.

Caution: DON'T BOOK THIS HOTEL!||The advertisement on the booking platforms is very misleading and does not show the reality.||The lady at the reception was incredibly unhelpful and rude and the very old and tiny rooms have a strong smell and don't even provide a plug to charge your phone. ||Also, the hotel pool the hotel claims to provide for their guests is not actually availabe for guests. It is rented to non-inhouse guests for private use on an hourly basis. Since I have been living in Maldives for many years I know that you can get much better rooms and service for this room rates.
