Vivienne United Kingdom

A lovely Oasis in the middle of bustling busy and hot Male City. Had The best meal of our whole stay in the Maldives.

Rebecca Singapore

Hotel Sala is close to the coral mosque and a lovely green park space. Hotel Sala team took care of everything for us . Super Thai dinner and Swiss breakfast. Thomas the proprietor is a unique host with tales to tell, a genuine character in these days of rather bland hospitality standardization.

Jonathan United Arab Emirates

Very central was met at airport by taxi arranged by hotel. Manager and staff extremely friendly. A very comfortable stay pre and post to my trip.

Vivienne United Kingdom

Care and attention given to Customer is the one which I liked most. Its a good neat and clean Hotel. Special Thanks to Mr. Thomas who ensured a comfortable stay for us.

Anand Ghana

Lovely old style small, intimate hotel (only 6 rooms), felt more authentic than staying in a modern hotel. Right in the heart of Male. Thomas was very welcoming and helpful. The Thai food was absolutely amazing. Breakfast was stunning. Sadly I'm Gluten intolerant and couldn't partake in the amazing array of pastries but my family did. I still had fruit, eggs and yogurt.

Osborne United Kingdom

Thomas, managing the hotel, is very involved and puts a lot of efforts to satisfy customer expectations. Hotel has very good Thai restaurant and serves wonderful breakfast with very good choice of Fresh bakery and very good quality products imported from Switzerland. It was highly appreciated after 2 weeks of rather poor local food.
