Stayed here for 8 days comfortably. Fundamentally, the room was clean, the staff was professional, and they had a good selection of food. It's also close to the beach and you can easily catch the bus from the nearby stops to go anywhere. Oh and a bonus - THEY HAVE A LIFT. This last point is a bit one because there's a bunch in Hulhumale without it, which forces you to carry your luggage.

There was hardly anything to dislike. The staff made a few minor mistakes, like not bringing towels to my room on the first day. But they quickly rectified it once informed. Beyond this, the price might be a sticky point. But it's still one of the few places in Hulhumale where you'll find real value with clean rooms and staff that guarantee a comfortable stay just as the other reviews state. Definitely would reconsider staying here if I visit Hulhumale again.

May be location (on one main street, close to beach etc.)

Booking.com stated 88 USD for 2 night - finally it was 120 USD, a big difference, would have chosen other location. Final price should clearly be indicated - not some misleading partial price! TV had only may be 5 poor channels (locals). - Of course one is not there for the TV but if TV is there and many tourists from abroad, should be different. Receiving any info (e.g. about surrounding islands or additional program options etc.) from staff was nothing but concrete and useful.....

It’s a basic and convenient hotel. The staff are attentive and very friendly. We would stay again.

We’ve stayed at this hotel a couple of times before or after a flight. The rooms can smell a bit musty, depending on the room you get. The bathrooms are ok, just ventilation isn’t the best. The bed is a touch small for a couple.

It is near to the airport and convenient to see other restaurants nearby

Nothing so far. I waited for 5 minutes before check in . Though I requested in advance for early check in and pay but still waited for few minutes. I was offered twin bed on single occupancy instead so I can rest. It is fine, no big deal. but I like a single room with big window so I can see the road.

Easily check in and out, friendly staff, the beach so close. Airport is close.

The pillows were so big, these can be smaller. The walls are really slim, so the noise was big.

1. The staff are well behaved and accommodating. Kept all our requests and then some 2. The rooms are cozy and comfortable 3. The restaurant serves good food and we had all our three meals here 4. Airport shuttle was very convenient and although it was a bit late on our arrival, we got it right on time for our departure on a very short notice 5. Hulhumale beach is right at the back. It was a big value adder.

1. The toilet tank took a lot of time to get full. Water leaked from the bottom 2. The WiFi connection is a hassle. Need to log in every time and room didn’t get strong connection.

Everything about in this hotel is awesome for me. The room is clean and neat. The place is accessible to everything from restaurants and shops including the beach, it's a 2mins away. The Manager, receptionist all staffs are very accommodating, very friendly and very helpful. They address my concerns immediately when my bathroom faucet was broken and i was too surprised when they changed my room into Deluxe Room without adding additional payment. Wifi connection is good also although hotspot only but that's not an issue to me because every where in that place they used hotspot. I definitely choose this hotel again for my next vacation.

Breakfast must have an option to choose. I suggest to prepare a budget breakfast meal or menu with atleast 2 or 3 varieties to choose from the list.

1. Location near to sea. All type of restaurants at walking distance, garden also near by, tree top hospital and hulhumale hospital also near by. 2. Play court - football, volley ball,skate court 3. Near to airport - can reach hotel by road within 10 mins from airport. Hotel provided pick and drop service to airport. 4. Language - Staff speak English and Hindi but, need improvement in communication.

WiFi and TV - 1. Hotel is providing hotspot connection , couldn't connect Google cast to watch YouTube on TV. 2. No kids channel on TV. 3. Breakfast Same breakfast for 15 days, no change ( Bread,omlet,jam,fruits,orange juice and butter) 4. Housekeeping - should use mob to clean room floor with water also. Only broom is used by hotel.

Last time we stayed in StarShell we got a newly renovated room with nice interior. So the expectation was the same this time, unfortunately we got a old room that need some renovation soon.
