H78 Maldives

Me and my partner stayed at H78 for our first few nights in the Maldives. We were picked up upon arrival at the airport and taken straight to the hotel (included in the price of our stay). The driver and member of staff accompanying him were very friendly, they took all of our luggage for us, the car was nice and spacious with air con and we arrived within 10minutes. We were met at the hotel by another member of staff (Priya) who was amazing during our stay. She showed us inside to sort out everything regarding our stay and was always available to help us with whatever we needed (this was especially helpful with all the COVID rules and regulations). All other staff members we came across were very polite, smiled and welcomed us warmly. The hotel is in a great location right on the beach. The food and drinks are of a wide range and are very nice. We paid half board which we would recommend. Breakfast is excellent, it is buffet style but you can also order eggs to your liking. Hot drinks, juice and water are also included. Then you can choose if you want lunch or dinner as your second meal (which was excellent, we haven’t come across anywhere that offers this). The menu for lunch/dinner is the same so you get exactly the same portion whether you choose to have it at lunch or dinner time. The menu offered local and international food and was really good quality. You get a main and pudding/dessert included. There is a rooftop area which offers a lot of seating and a nice view

It was a nice stay. A bit overpriced for what you get. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The rooms are small

The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

with transfer to hotel and airport, the breakfast is a light one with bread curry and rice

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!! I had an absolutely fabulous experience with this hotel!!! From the pick up at the airport through my stay. I read some reviews that had complaints about the hotel and found the facts to be partially valid. Yes - the elevator is small for you and your luggage; however, that wasn’t an issue for me. They allowed me to go up and they promptly brought my luggage up after me. The reception was excellent and prompt. No waiting for assistance. Also had a welcome drink waiting for me. They food and service was MORE than amazing. I would order a coffee in the morning and they insisted on me relaxing at my table while I waited and they brought it to me. Yes - there is construction next to the apartment; however, there is construction EVERYWHERE on Hulhumale and Male. They didn’t work at night so I was never disturbed. The facilities were exceptionally clean and had a constant pleasant, relaxing smell. There is a little store around the corner. This made it easier for me. They gave me tips and advice to make my days there easier. After my liveaboard, I didn’t realize I needed another room for one night. I went there to see if they had a room. They didn’t but they did remember. They remembered me and had an item I had left in the room and kept it for me not knowing I would even return. I returned the next morning to have breakfast (as it is fabulous) and they even remembered how I like my coffee!!! You simply CANT go wrong staying here!!!

Not a bad place to stay if you are just overnighting, but would not want to spend more than one night. The beach across the street is heavily polluted with plastic and other trash. The place can be noisy and the breakfast is minimal. However, the price was reasonable compared to what you will pay at a resort in the Maldives. That said, you will not experience the real Maldives at this place.

Fantastic hospitality I felt like a family and I travelled as single female .

great for a one night stay before your transfer..very friendly staff

I am just on my way home to London from my trip. I arrived via ship and was worried as I didn't know what time disembarking was. All I had to do was call and they came to pick me and my elderly mother up smiling. Extremely friendly staff, lovely place to stay f. Lovely food, lovely room, beautiful beach sea view. I had the carrot Halwa for pudding and loved it.!If I ever come to the maldives again I will stay here thank you so much for making it lovely for me and my mum. X

The staff are very helpful and the food downstairs were actually surprisingly great!
