Exceptional staff and great location

I stayed for a week during a conference. The hotel staff is exceptionally hospitable. I got the feeling that they genuinely care. They helped arrange a diving trip and book taxies. Airport pickup, laundry service, and breakfast were all satisfactory. The room was basic but clean and functional. The location is great too: close to the fish market and there were plenty of stores around. I highly recommend this place.

Very helpful staff during our one night Transit stay. Woken up by some noise of other guests so walls are a little thin. Breakfast was nice and airport transfers worked well. Room was small but as a guesthouse in a busy city that is expected. Thank you to the staff at the Somerset

1 night transtition hotel

Our parents' room had water dripping from the air-con, thus they had to move to another floor. Airport transport and breakfast are included, nothing more to complain about for a transition hotel.

We arrived late at night and found this to be a fantastic hotel for a night stay before checking into our Maldives resort. The hotel was clean, with all amenities we expected and more. Breakfast was more than what we expected.
