The Somerset Hotel

About this accommodation

The Somerset Hotel is a city guesthouse in central Malé, the Maldivian capital, a short drive from Velana International Airport via the Sinamalé Bridge. Because it sits on the capital island rather than a resort or guesthouse island, no speedboat or seaplane transfer is required; the property provides complimentary transfers from the airport. Rooms feature air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars and coffee machines, with private bathrooms stocked with toiletries; some units offer balconies and city views. The on-site Belle Amie Bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the hotel is within walking distance of Malé landmarks including Sultan Park, the Grand Friday Mosque, the National Museum and the local fish market. With a 4.3/5 rating from more than 400 guest reviews, The Somerset is well positioned for travellers in transit before or after onward transfers to resorts and guesthouse islands, business visitors to Malé, and independent travellers who want to explore the capital for a night or two. Amenities and activities outside the hotel are arranged through local operators rather than bundled resort-style packages.
