Lovely hotel
It was so amazing. The room is so lovely, beautiful and clean. I appreciate that the hotel impressed us with the anniversary decoration and cake that we have requested in our room. We will definitely come back to this hotel. It's very quiet :)

Excellent overnight stay!
Hotel was perfect for a 1 night stay after arriving into Male before travelling onwards to our island destination the next day. The hotel is super easy to get to. Either by the hotel airport taxi or via the water taxi, which is located outside. We opted for the water taxi which is only $1 person and drops you into Male. The hotel is then a very short 2 min walk away. We arrived to a welcome drink and cold towels. Our rooms were available early and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean and tidy and a very good size. There was plenty of amenities available and free water. The breakfast the next day was a selection of fresh fruit and pastries as well as a small selection of hot food including an omelette station with a chef. Overall for the price paid the hotel was perfect for what we needed. Would recommend and stay here again if back in Male.
The only slight negative was that there was building work in the area at the time. This is not the hotels fault but did mean that if you were looking to stay in bed longer than based 8am. You would likely be disturbed.

100% recommend
Staff were wonderful. Could not do enough for you. Exceptionally polite and professional.
The hotel was just 10 minutes to the international airport and perfect for 1 night before our flight.
It was nice to see male city.

The staff was friendly but hotel conditions can be improved. No hot water in the shower in the morning. Also the room was clean but low quality.Staff tried to help but we were waiting for our luggage to bring to the room for ages. Also staff had organized very late departure to our next destination and we lost couple hours of our holidays.Breakfast was excellent above the expectations. We came at midnight to hotel 6 hours to sleep reasonable price to pay compare to other hotels.

The Marukab Plaza hotel is beautiful. If you need somewhere to stay close to Malé airport look no further. It is only 5-7 minute drive away. The staff was waiting to pick us up. They were so friendly and gracious. There is also a Chicking restaurant just a 5 minute walk down the street from the hotel.

Excellent place to stay while in transit to/from Maldives. Starting with a hotel representative meeting you at arrival gates to escort you to the clean and modern shuttle with great AC, the ride to the hotel was nice and cool. Next was the refreshing welcome drink during checkin. They also made arrangements with the resort we were traveling to the next day, which was unexpected and very appreciated. Check in was a breeze. The room is as pictured, modern amenities, and the AC was a dream. We were able to explore the area by foot and had dinner nearby. Overnight stay in the room was very comfortable and the shower is big enough for two. Breakfast was freshly prepared by order and service was excellent. We will pick this hotel again.

This hotel is fine if you have to stay the night before going to a different island. If Male is where you will stay for any longer I would suggest a different hotel.

Room is clean with sufficient amenities. Staff attitude is diverse, some are helpful and nice, and some aren’t. It’s what you can expect from a 3.5 star hotel.

My husband and I were traveling back from one of the Maldives Islands and had a late flight. We decided to book a room to relax, get a hot shower & change clothes. Our shuttle service was very late picking us up, the room was okay- much smaller than expected, NO HOT WATER for shower! So disappointed. The phones didn’t work to call downstairs. I gave some positive stars because I have to say, the staff was very nice there.
