Nice hotel managed by a very interesting German guy. The best part is an amazing Thai restaurant.

The room was very spacious and clean. Hotel pick-up and drop-off, the boss Thomas is very nice, the emails are responded to quickly, and will answer all your questions. The hotel style is very Thai. I heard that the first floor is famous for Thai food, but because we went to Thailand the next day, we didn’t have dinner on the first floor. The breakfast was Western style, bread and ham, and the bread was super delicious. ! If you can’t finish the meal, the boss will pack it for you to take away! ! The only regret is that I paid 1,200 RMB first when placing the order on Ctrip, and it showed that I had to pay an additional 52 US dollars at the store. When I checked out at the hotel, I was asked to pay 78 US dollars... After feedback to Ctrip, I was promptly refunded 188 RMB. . Ctrip is still very responsible and considerate!

The room should be considered very clean in Male, and the old reporter is very nice and responsible.

It feels quite close to Male Airport, take a taxi and cross a bridge, then shuttle in the alleys, it takes about 10-15 minutes to arrive. The boss is a German who has lived in the Maldives for more than ten years. Two days before the arrival day, the boss Thomas began to contact us by email, including when we arrived, how much luggage, how many people and so on. After customs clearance on the day of arrival, Thomas' staff has already picked up the guests with a sign at the hotel entrance (free pick-up service is included in my reservation). He greeted us at the door before arriving at his small hotel. Very polite and caring. If there is no problem with your communication needs, the boss Thomas will give you a lot of tips for traveling on the island, such as how much local currency is appropriate to exchange, what local regulations are there, and so on. It is very important that this hotel should be the best Thai restaurant on Male Island. Very authentic thanks to the owner Thomas should have some stories in Thailand, there is no gossip about the specifics. If you eat a meal in person, the boss will recommend and serve you personally. Don't order too much. The next day we went to the resort island. It was a very pleasant day to stay in this hotel on Male Island. It is very convenient to buy swimming goggles, clothes, shoes and other necessary items in the hotel. In Muslim countries, alcohol and tobacco are prohibited, you can ask the boss.

The boss is so bad. In the morning, they called me a taxi and charged me 50 US dollars for a 5-minute journey to the airport. When the driver arrived, he gave me 20 local currency. This old man is so bad. I asked him why it cost $50 to take a taxi to the airport, and he said it was because he could call a taxi. But rentals are everywhere. I read previous reviews that this hotel offers airport pick-up and drop-off, but no one said there is a fee for the 5-minute journey. And there are no prices on his menu, and the service charge is very high. During my 20-day vacation in the Maldives, I was a little surprised by the prices of his dishes and the bill. Don't know why it's so well received.

We stayed at here for 2 nights before getting on a diving Liveaboard. Rose was outstanding helping me with my need for gluten free meals! The room was a respite from the hot weather. Beautiful and spacious rooms. If you have to stay in Male this is the place.

We loved our stopover stay at Sala. Great communication ahead of the stay; met at the airport and taxi provided to take us straight to the hotel. Super-friendly welcome, comfortable air-con room. In spite of an early departure from the hotel, we were given an excellent breakfast (coffee, juice, fresh fruit, eggs, bread, cheese, meats, yogurt, ….) before another taxi arranged to the airport (also included in the rate). We also had drinks and dinner in the excellent Thai restaurant- delicious! A great place to consider if you have to stopover in Male and want to avoid the big hotel chains.

I only spent a night here, but the staff were so lovely I had to leave a review. I have never been treated as kindly as I have by the staff of Sala Boutique Hotel, it made me wish I had more time in Male. The room was lovely and very comfortable, and I appreciated the amenities offered (including a new loofah as I had accidentally left mine behind at my previous destination!). The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. They were so helpful with my luggage and with getting me back to the airport. Highly recommend this place if you're in Male!

We really enjoyed this experience. We were looking for a single night before going on a cruise. This location is right in the midst of everything and we hired a local guide for a tour. The hotel is clean and the owners are super friendly. We loved that we felt immersed in the city and the included breakfast was AMAZING! The arrangement is more like the old time "bed and breakfast" setup with the host interactions. It felt like we were guests of locals rather than staying at a sterile hotel.
