Beach Arena Inn

What really made this place five stars for us was the staff. Everyone we dealt with was so warm and welcoming, and we loved them. A big thank you from the two Finnish girls 😊 We even left one of our bags there for a few days before and after our stay so we could pick it up later. The first night, the AC wasn't working, so they drove us to another hotel and came back to get us, even though it was just around the corner. We felt a bit embarrassed because we could have walked. It's a great budget stay. The rooms are basic but fairly spacious, and the interior could use an update. The place could be a bit more organized too.

The hotel was neat and clean, and the service was good. It's near the Bangladesh High Commission Maldives, but not in the beachfront area.

The bathroom had a dirty smell, and I found bedbugs. The staff were rude and unhelpful. Please pick a better hotel if you want to enjoy your trip. Stay here if you want a headache.

Mr Jahed, the caretaker, gave us terrible service. He's lazy and careless, and gets an attitude whenever we ask for help. He should be replaced so visitors can have a better experience.
