Champa Central Hotel

The front desk said this was a “first-time occurrence” when I complained, but the lack of basic sanitation makes me wonder if the problem is more systemic. I was appalled by the cleanliness and professionalism during my stay in a Deluxe room. The room hadn't been prepared for a new guest. The bedding was used and the bathroom filthy. After I asked for housekeeping, the receptionist seemed confused and defensive. Someone eventually came to clean, but it was substandard. I saw hair in the bed and bathroom, and there were feces stains on the toilet. What made it worse was that the housekeeping staff told the front desk the room was already clean while I was standing there. They also handled clean towels and water bottles right after cleaning the toilet without washing their hands. As a paying guest, I expect a hygienic place to stay. This was incredibly distressing.

The receptionist handled guests extremely poorly. For a hotel of this standard, that was disappointing and unacceptable.

Right in the middle of Male' city, on a small but busy street, this guest house is beautiful and, most important to me, hygienic. It has been that way for as long as I can remember. I hope it stays just as good for years to come. I'd recommend it for a stay in Male' city.

The rooftop restaurant makes for a really nice city dinner, and the food is top notch. The chefs are a delight. There's also a private, well set up karaoke bar to enjoy with friends or family. The team is great, welcoming and attentive to requests. It's a very nice 4 Star plus hotel. Airport pickup and drop-off are available on request, and the drivers are disciplined and attentive. For me, it's the best hotel in Male city.
