We booked one night at Traders Hotel because we needed a place to stay in Male after our resort vacation, as our connecting flight was early in the morning. The pickup and dropoff service to and from the hotel to Male airport was very well planned and we had no problems. Our room was nice and clean but small, and... More

We got into Male late so decided to stay the night at Male rather than waste a night in the more expensive resort. The Traders Hotel was very good. A smiling face welcomed us at the airport and it was a hassle free transfer to the hotel. We were quickly checked in and then in our very nice room. A... More

We stayed at the Traders Hotel which is part of the Shangri la group for 2 nights in May 2013 following our 5 day stay at the Olhuveli Beach & Spa resort Maldives (which is reviewed by me separately). Transfer The representative met us at the airport very promptly by their stand (75) and escorted us to the speed boat... More

Stayed for 3 nights in May 2013 at this hotel. Decent speedboat ride to the hotel for immediate check in and the room was clean except that the tile in #803 is scratched and looks / is dirty due to the abrasions. The touch points I had with the team was generally good but whenever I wanted something delivered to... More

Have stayed here before and am pleased to say, the high point of this hotel is the excellent welcoming staff. As always, they can advise on all things Maldivian . It's a handy base after a long haul flight and is on male, the capital island, a short comp speedboat away from airport island. There is alcohol in the many... More

Stayed here for a night since our flight arrived at 10pm in Male for our Maldivian grand vacation. We were greeted by a man with the hotel sign and showed us to the speedboat. A pleasant man but not sure if he understood me. It was a quick ride abt5 mins to the dock closest to the hotel. Then we... More

Great staging point for your Maldevian getaway if your inbound flight lands late in the evening. Rather than pay $500-1000 for an extra night at your fav resort (I suspect that's only an option for closer resorts, may not even be an option for any that need a seaplane transfer) spend the first night in Male and do a whirlwind...

First thing to consider in the Maldives is that lodging is just plain expensive for what you get. So lower your expectations based on price. For whatever reason, something that is listed as 4 star (along with price) is really more like a 3 star. That doesn't mean that it isn't still nice, just not equivalent to the price. That... More

We were on our honeymoon trip to Maldives. As our flight arrived at night, we had to stay for one night at Male' before we took the seaplane to the resort. Traders Hotel Male' was our hotel for transit and it was a very good hotel doing its job. We arrived at around 10pm local time, the reception staff was... More
