The attention of the owner/CEO was superb! He took care of us as if he was welcoming us to his home. We felt very welcome indeed!

Danielle, Philippines

Charming little place with excellent food, impeccable service including transfer and hotel agent accompanying us to the airport for our next destination, coordinated with our resort.

On reflection it is very hard to think of anything negative.
The Sala Boutique Hotel is a really lovely charming small hotel set in the heart of bustling Male. You walk in through the gates and find its a paradise of calm away from the noise of cars and motorbikes. We were met at the airport by a very nice young man who took our luggage and then were taken from the airport island and transferred by local ferry and taxi. This was a complimentary service provided by the hotel and a lovely touch. Upon arrival a smiley female hotel staff member greeted us and we were taken to our room where our bags were waiting. Check in was smooth and efficient. Although the room had no windows it was very spacious, clean and well dressed with some nice decorative touches. We loved the four poster queen size bed and the large fluffy pillows. The air con worked well and the en suite had complimentary shower and shampoo. Free water and tea and coffee making facilities and mini fridge were available in the room. In the evening we met the hotel manager who was from India. He and his staff were extremely attentive, well mannered and went out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. We would highly recommend the Thai restaurant which is in the hotel. We had a wonderful 2 course meal for approx $65. The fresh watermelon and lime and ginger cocktails were delicious. The service and food presentation was exceptional. Breakfast in the morning was not disappointing too. In fact it too was of a high quality with breads, pastries, omelettes and chicken bacon. Again the service was very good. The Indian manager went out of his way to organise a taxi for our onward ferry journey. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of this small hotel. We were very impressed with the high standard of customer service and quality food. We have no hesitation in recommending The Sala Boutique Hotel as a great place to start or end your Maldivian adventure.

We stayed only one night, in a stopover for the islands, and the hotel was perfect for it. As of its location, the rooms are rather dark, so it is not really suitable for a longer stay.
The warm welcome, the hospitality of the management was really nice. They have arranged all transportation. In the hotel there is an exceptionally good Thai restaurant, really worth a try.
