Champa Central Hotel

It was excellent. The staff was amazing. The room was quaint and clean. The food was outstanding. Great location.

According to the offer on hotels.com Airport transfer was included,we should attend to the international airport (we arrived at domestic) and find Counter 59 and they would take care. On arrival there was no service and after 10 minutes waiting somebody call the hotel and they explain that their car was broken and we should take the ferry and then a taxi to the hotel. I refuse and told them to send another car or order a taxi. After another 10 minutes a call the hotel myself and had the information this hotel didn't offer free Airport transfer...... I told them to solve the problem, but after further 10 minutes I call them back and had same message once again, then I went mad and ordered a taxi by myself. The hotel pay me on arrival this costs, but for me unacceptable that we should spent time on a matter like this. Next morning we arrange a taxi from the hotel to the airport for our own account..... so when your hotels offering this kind of service they should stick to it, the free transfer was themain reason why we choose this hotel

The food was good but the room was very small, dark and had no shelves in the bathroom and nowhere to plug in the hairdryer near the mirror.

Very comfortable hotel to stay in Male’

Hotel and furnishings in need of some upgrade - looking tatty. Fridge in room, and hairdryer, didn't work. But bed and pillows clean and comfortable. Transfers from and to the airport ferry very efficient.

The hotel promptly responded to our booking, explaining where to meet the contact at the airport.We arrived late at night and all went to plan ... met and transferred to a 5 minute local ferry, and then met by car and transferred to the hotel. Delightful staff booked us I need and all we needed was sleep! As we were flying to another Atoll early the next morning they provided a more than adequate box of breakfast, without us asking for it. Again the airport transfer was provided.

The Good: - Located at center of Male. Convenient access to CBD. - The our all facility and cleanness is satisfactory. - Complimentary pickup from Airport is provided. - The dining area is clean and breakfast provided has varieties. The Bad: - The room is smelly. Need to open all windows to ventilate it. - The pick up form airport is disappointing. In the welcome email it gives you false impression that there is transport from airport to Hotel every 10 minutes. The reality is nobody was even manning the counter and we waited 1 hour plus...finally some one appeared after we call hotel.

very central, good facilities, good food - would recommend the place to othes

It's good for a night's stay. Convenient location & very polite staff, but staff hardly know or can recommend anything. Worst is the internet connection, very poor wifi, seriously needs upgrade. Room is ok, good for a night's stay, but not pretty or luxurious, not comparable to any other hotel of Crown & Champa Group.

STORY OF INSECTS!! There were two parts the hotel. The nice side that you see in photos and the old run down side that you don't see in any of the ads. They first gave us the room in the crappy side. We had to take a slow lift that we wondered if it would break down, and walked though a old dark hall way. It looks worst than a cheap motel. They hung a flash light next to the bed as the bedside lamp. The wall was peeling and full of stains. There's no view at all. After we came back from dinner a couple hours later, there were a lot of small insects crawling around in the room. The insects were smaller than the size of sesame, and they were everywhere.. the bed, the counter... We packed up our stuff and called the concierge before more bugs get on our belongs. The attendant first assumed us having the window or doors open. We didn't for sure because there was no view and the room was facing a smelly back ally. We had no interest in touching anything to begin with. At the end, they moved us to another room. The dark old hallways suddenly turned bright like a normal hotel. This room looks like what you see on Expedia. They said they upgraded us, sounding like we didn't pay for this and we got lucky. I don't care whether we get upgrade, but the first room is definitely not what we booked based on the Expedia photos. We still see insects in the nicer room. Not sure if that came from the first room or elsewhere. In summary, that was a terrible and disappointing experience.
