“Great staff, delicious food, and a lovely rooftop restaurant. We had a very pleasant stay.”
We had a wonderful stay at Star Shells Hotel. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist us with a smile. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed the meals during our stay. They also have a beautiful rooftop restaurant, which was a great place to relax and dine. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we would happily stay here again.

“We´ll be back”
We stayed in this hotel just for one night before our flight from Male. It´s a 15 minute ride from the airport with their shuttle which they provided for 15 USD per room for both ways. We had a nice, clean and quite spacious room with a double bed. There is a lot of storage space, comfortable bed, modern bathroom. Water was provided. Staff at the reception was very helpful and friendly. There is an elevator in the hotel. We had a half board included, dinner was in their restaurant and we had to choose from some food from their menu. As we had to leave early in the morning, breakfast was not ready yet, but at least they made us a coffee. You can walk on a nearby beach, which is nice and there are also a lot of restaurant options in the viscinity. We would love to stay again! It´s a nice product for it´s price!

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Starshell in Hulhumale after spending 4 nights there. It’s a very clean, tidy, and modern boutique hotel with a beautiful, well-thought-out design that immediately makes you feel comfortable. The bed was incredibly comfortable — truly home away from home. The food was really delicious, and the staff truly stood out — professional, friendly, and very attentive to every detail. The location is excellent: right on the main street, close to shops, Central Park, and many restaurants, which makes it very convenient. Absolutely recommended after my 4-night stay. I would happily stay here again.
