H78

We stayed at the hotel just for a quick night's sleep before taking the ferry to the island in the morning. For this purpose, it's quite suitable. The room is small and reasonably clean, there is a shower, and the bed linen is fine. However, the bed is short—might be an issue if you're 180 cm tall or taller... Breakfast-wise, in terms of selection and quality, you won't go hungry. BUT, what surprised us—and this is a first for us—was that a cafe staff member stood right behind our backs, breathing down our necks and closely watching how much and what we were putting on our plates... It was kind of funny, but also quite unpleasant.

Kandolhu Maldives is a truly hidden gem! With only 30 villas on the entire island, it’s uncrowded, quiet, and offers ultimate privacy. We stayed in an Ocean Pool Villa—just steps from the sea with our own private pool, opening right out to jelly-bean blue waters. The house reef snorkeling is phenomenal; you can spot corals, schools of fish, and baby sharks right from the shore. We even got lucky and saw manta rays on our boat trip! The island's restaurants serve fantastic food, offering Western dishes, seafood, and curries, and the sunset barbecue has an amazing ambiance. The staff are warm, attentive, and prompt. Perfect for couples who love peace, quiet, and snorkeling or diving. No hustle and bustle—just watching the sunset and listening to the waves every day. Pure therapy, and we hated to leave.

H78 is a transit hotel on a local island in Malé, and it offers great value for money in terms of service.

The room was small and a bit old, but thankfully it was just for a one-night stopover before catching the island hopper flight tomorrow. There was no sea view at all from our room on the 2nd floor. The location is not bad, right by the beach. The service was also okay, though I'm not sure if that was because I tipped 10 dollars.

It's alright, a decent option for a layover, but I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay. It's quite small, but the service is good. They had someone waiting at the airport with a sign, who confirmed my name before I got in the car. Upon check-in, they informed me that the seaplane transfer would be the next day and that they would provide transportation to the airport. The hotel opens right out to the sea, which is beautiful. You can go out and take photos while waiting for the shuttle in the morning.

The hotel is right by the sea, and breakfast was delicious! However, the room and bathroom were incredibly small, making it very uncomfortable. The bedding also wasn't very clean; I had to use disposable sheets and duvet covers. On the positive side, the service attitude was quite good.

We stayed in a room that could accommodate three people. The extra bed was also comfortable and provided a good night's sleep, which was great. Despite the low price, the round-trip transfer service and breakfast were included, which we really appreciated. However, the refrigerator and air conditioner occasionally made a 'buzzing' sound, which unfortunately woke me up each time.

Good for a one-night stopover. Decent. The dinner was nice.

Set back just one block from the main road towards the ocean, it's quiet and offers a great location with sea views from the room. Also, the restaurant on the ground floor is delicious. We ate there twice, and it's more than enough for every day.
