Exceptional staff and great location

I stayed for a week during a conference. The hotel staff is exceptionally hospitable. I got the feeling that they genuinely care. They helped arrange a diving trip and book taxies. Airport pickup, laundry service, and breakfast were all satisfactory. The room was basic but clean and functional. The location is great too: close to the fish market and there were plenty of stores around. I highly recommend this place.

Very helpful staff during our one night Transit stay. Woken up by some noise of other guests so walls are a little thin. Breakfast was nice and airport transfers worked well. Room was small but as a guesthouse in a busy city that is expected. Thank you to the staff at the Somerset

1 night transtition hotel

Our parents' room had water dripping from the air-con, thus they had to move to another floor. Airport transport and breakfast are included, nothing more to complain about for a transition hotel.

Great hotel

We arrived late at night and found this to be a fantastic hotel for a night stay before checking into our Maldives resort. The hotel was clean, with all amenities we expected and more. Breakfast was more than what we expected.

Smallish hotel in good location. Close to everything. Great service, clean rooms. Breakfast included was standard, nothing flashy. Prices reasonable for supper. Good for a launch pad for a liveaboard
