Probably the best hotel in an area that does not have a lot of nice hotels. I would go back if for no reason that they have a good airport transfer, the staff are friendly and I don't think there's a lot of better places to stay in Male. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic although the temperature fluctuated so get ready to jump out of the way when it changes. Be careful of the shopkeepers in the tourist gift shops in this area. They will charge exorbitant prices and border on harassment to try to get you to go to their shop.

I had a wonderful stay at the Jen Maldives. The room was met expectations of a high standard hotel. There were a few issues that needed to be addressed, but they were attended to immediately i.e., a TV not working. The staff stood out as being very attentive and supportive. At breakfast the head of staff, Riyaz, made time to speak with me and give me some encouraging thoughts about Male, which re-assured me regarding things such as safety etc. This encouraged me to go out and explore Male, which I may not have been so keen to do otherwise. The housekeeping staff were also fantastic, such as Shani, who were constantly polite and made the room up really well. The staff are consistently respectful and helpful, with those at the desk helping make important phone calls when needed, and assisting regarding transfers and any other advice required. The food was really good, which the restaurant having a really good selection and varying prices. It was also good to use the gym and to relax by the pool. Overall, I would recommend staying at the JEN and would be happy to stay there again!

Staff and service was excellent. Facility and cleanliness felt only fair. But because of the price of nearly 400 usd per night, I am sorry to say it’s below average and definitely not worth it. I will not return for sure.

The hotel was quite good the only thing that I didn't think was fair that the reception after 45 min of giving us the room they called me at 12:45 am to charge me $89.32 dollars because one of my daughters was 14 years old we arrived at 11:45 pm we left at 7am only to sleep 5 hours I paid full price room plus the extra they charge for my daughter's $89 without breakfast more than $300 dollars I talked to supervisor name Foaravind which was not great help.

We reached Male late at night, so it made financial sense and was also a safer option to stay in Male for the night and continued our journey to the island resort in the next Morning. We chose Jen, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The hotel is like 15mins drive from the airport. They offer airport transfer on both directions. Walking out of the arrival hall, we were greeted by the hotel driver/staff, which was seamless. We had the executive room, which was quite spacious. The toilet and showering were in separate rooms. The building and rooms were a bit dated, but very clean. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable. We had no complaint at all. The morning breakfast buffet was at lvl1. It is not sumptuous, but has decent spread including bread, porridge, some warm and cold dishes. The hotel also has a swimming pool and gym on the roof. After breakfast, the hotel sent us back to the jetty where we found and boarded the island resort speed boat. Overall, it's a pleasant stay and trouble free. IMO, this hotel is a good choice for Male layover.
