2/10 Poor

This property owner said they don't work with Expedia. I had confirmed booking from Expedia but the guy at reception denied by booking from 8th Aug - 15th Aug. Expedia customer care did not even help me out with the situation as well. The guy at reception said we don't work with Expedia anymore I don't have any room for you, go find another place. Please don't book this property from Expedia, as according to this hotel they said Expedia to delist them 3-4 months ago. There is some fraud going on at some level, as Expedia said it's not the case, and the guy at reception denied my booking. BE CAREFUL.

overall good experience, albeit staff were creepy
everything was okay. except the staff, they are a bit creepy (the way they behave and look at you). I have difficulty understanding what they are saying. I know it is English, but the sentence structure does not make any sense.

Basic hotel for overnight stay in Male
This hotel is very basic. The staff at the front desk was a bit rude. The room smelled moldy but was overall pretty clean. It is a fine hotel if you have to stay overnight in Male before your seaplane transfer.

It's okay for a night near the airport
Despite the island is not the best place at all. A good place to stay before taking the flight back

You are only good before payment!
The check in was good and smooth. The check out on the next morning was awful. There was a change of staff and the new staff were rude. They practically threw us out of the hotel room. We found out that they had delayed passengers of an earlier pick up time and had kicked us out earlier so that we could share the same car to the airport. This is unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Adequate for airport location
The staff was nice but the place is impossible to find even though its on the main road. As for the Bombay Indian restaurant (which is pretty good). The hotel is adequate at best but you staff here for the location to the airport.

I used this hotel as last day exit from Maldives. Closer to the airport. So if you plan to use local ferry to reach airport, go one day before to be sure that you reach the airport. If your resort is far and bad weather it may be a problem getting on time to the airport. Loved the stay :)

Perfect Hotel for a bridge day!!!Helpful staff
Staff was very nice and front desk was very helpful in getting things organized with the resort we went to. Even though we left earlier than the official BF time,the front desk representative prepared a small breakfast for us. From start to end the Newtown Inn was a good experience and it is the perfect stay when landing late and having to bridge a day.

Bidget choice for late flight arrivers in Male
My inbound flight to Male landed at night, it did not make sense (financially) to go to the resort island at that hour. At $100 it offered an acceptable B&B, with a 10-min drive (transport chargeable at $10 per way).

Not bad, but I expected more acording to price. In my opinion it isn't worth such price.

Good Hotel near Airport
Nice place near hotel. Rooms are comfortable and well furnished but very small. Very close to beach. The best part about the hotel is their restaurant. The food is amazing, though a bit on the expensive side (which i think applies to everywhere in Maldives). You have supermarkets nearby and a bus stop just opposite to the hotel. Hotel staff is very supportive and friendly. They even made contact with our resort staff on their own to sync for airport drop. Hats off to their network and courtesy !

What a Great Little Hotel!
My wife and I needed one night stay in Male since we arrived late and were heading to one of the islands for the next week. This hotel, though small, and located on the airport's island was just perfect for what we needed. Very clean, comfortable bed, great shower. It is not a 5 star hotel, but it served the purpose, and the customer service from all of the staff working there it's awesome!!! The people there are soooo nice! They will contact you before you arrive on the Maldives in order to arrange for your pick up at the airport which is only $ 10 each way. Breakfast is included and it was a great normal breakfast. Nice eggs and toasts, O.J and fruit. The hotel has no elevator, since it is a 3 or 4 story building, but they will gladly help you with your bags upstairs. Rooms are small, and the walls are thin, but like I said, I would highly recommend this hotel for someone needing a one night stay near the airport.
