The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Delights

I had an amazing dining experience at Hotel JEN Maldives Male. The breakfast buffet was a feast with fresh fruits, smoothies, pastries, and even dishes made to order like Poori and Omelets. The dinner at the restaurant was equally impressive, featuring mouthwatering options like Lamb Biryani and Beef Fillet Mignon. Chef Hardik and the amazing team truly exceeded my expectations!

Ocean View Bliss

Staying in the Deluxe Queen Room with an ocean view was a dream! The room was spotless every day, thanks to incredible housekeeping. The beautiful view of the sea from my room made waking up worth it. I was also thrilled with the thoughtful touches, like towel art by Nabeesh, which made my stay even more special.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which served its purpose perfectly as a transit hotel. The staff went above and beyond to assist us after our flight mishap, and the breakfast buffet was lovely. While it's not as luxurious as the resorts in the Maldives, it's comfortable and convenient for a short stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was perfect in the middle of Male, and the restaurant had some great dining options, the service was lacking, particularly during my city tour. The staff could have been friendlier, and the tour experience was disappointing overall. The value for the city tour package felt unfair given the price we paid.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel, which was ideal for our short time in Male. The rooftop pool area was a highlight, offering a serene space to unwind, and our room, while not overly spacious, had all the comforts we needed. The staff were remarkably attentive and went above and beyond, including a generous gesture of providing free soccer tickets for my son. However, the room sizes might feel a bit small compared to other destinations, but the great service made it worthwhile.

My stay was decent but had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean but quite small, and I found the air conditioning a bit problematic with a musty smell. Breakfast had its highlights but the coffee and some food options fell short. I appreciated the rooftop pool, but the food prices felt steep. The speedboat transfer from the airport was a nice touch, although my arrival experience could have been smoother.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. While the location was wonderfully convenient for exploring Male, and I enjoyed the rooftop dining with great views, the service left something to be desired, especially during check-in. The room had a damp smell and was not up to the price expectation, making it feel more like a budget option despite being marketed as upscale.
