Excellent Thai food。 The owner Thomas and his wife rose are very helpful and we have an excellent stay there. The only improvement needed might be the toilet. A proper shower room will make it A . Even with this short coming, Sala Boutique still deserve A (2 less).

Not value for Money.

Hotel was nice, hospitality was good but the hotel location was not that much satisfying. And the breakfast will fell you very sad and non energetic each and every day same bread , same jam and same egg no change on menu, if you are staying for more than one or two days you will not like the breakfast they charge more but value for the breakfast is zero. About room everything is ok expect rooms lights💡soo lazy or should i say full light bill saving all the lights are very low brightness it will feel you that you enter in massages parlour. Apart from this all ok not good but I will say after 7 days staying its only ok not good.

A decent place to stay in Male - especially if you are catching an early morning flight back home.

Nice boutique hotel with great service & good food

Nice boutique hotel with great service and good food. Not exactly tranquil though: not sure if walls are thin, but I could hear doors closing and other peoples phone calls (one guest was having very loud and very unhappy conversations late at night with her booking agent). There is also a mosque nearby which uses loudspeaker for the call to prayer. The "elevator music" in the restaurant also gets a bit repetitive.

The staff was exceptionally good. The entire staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome. While checking in we witnessed a guest come to the desk and ask for assistance in paying his cab fair. He apparently realized he did not have any cash on him. Without blinking or asking questions the staff went to the curb side and paid the guests taxi fee from the airport.

Some pros and cons

My stay at Sala got off on the wrong foot when they forgot to pick me up at the airport. I had pre-arranged the pick up and gotten confirmation via email, but when I arrived no one was there. The Malé airport doesn't have wifi, so I had to beg staff from a lounge to take mercy on me and contact the hotel on my behalf. The transfer consisted of a dude meeting me and escorting me on a ferry from the airport to Malé itself, then when we couldn't find a taxi we walked to the hotel (you're better off just taking a taxi from the airport). At check in the manager claimed they didn't have my arrival info, and when I produced my email showing they did, he said, "A misunderstanding!" Saying sorry goes a long way, but that didn't happen here. The hotel itself is serviceable, with strong wi-fi and an enjoyable Thai restaurant (inexplicably decorated with photos of Venice). The rooms are simple but comfortable and clean. Following the pick-up fiasco I found staff to be accommodating and warm, as they contacted my resort to arrange my onward transport, and had breakfast ready for me at 6 am, which was unexpected and helpful.
