I booked this hotel based on reviews I had found on tripadvisor and it certainly lived up to the hype. Once I had made the booking (via booking.com I think), Thomas the owner emailed me directly to say hello and check my flight details so they could meet us at the airport. Myself and my partner arrived late at night... More

We stayed in Sala Boutique only for one night at the beginning of May on our way back home from one of the islands, and we enjoyed our stay to the full. It's a family owned hotel, that is why everything and everyone makes you feel comfortable. Mr Thomas, the owner, was out on a trip, so Mr Ninu was... More

Sala Boutique hotel is one of the best hotel I have stayed in. Thomas and his staff were excellent, professional and ever willing to meet your needs. We were were met at the jetty after a 6 days boat trip. The hotel was definitely a welcome, extremely clean and comfortable. We had dinner in the hotel and the Thai dishes... More

We needed an overnight stop in Male and surfing the net for suitable accommodation hit upon Sala Boutique hotel. What a pleasant surprise! The building is about 120 years old and tastefully renovated by the hotelier/owner Thomas Stahl. We were picked up from the air port by a member of the staff and taken to the hotel. The procedure was... More

I had a stopover before heading off on a seaplane for an island resort. It was an early seaplane flight and they were meant to give us a wake up call and take us to the airport. They forgot! Totally forgot about us!! We were locked in the hotel for a while and wasn't able to contact outside. The only... More

Its amazing that it takes more than 6 months to report, really wondering why.... Fact is that one of my staff, who had taken the responsibility to bring the couple to the early morning check in 5.15 am didn't wake up and it needed myself to get them to the airport, the delay in departure in the hotel was not...

I feel a little bad about giving this a four star opposed to five star review but it's purely down to the price. Overnight and dinner set us back a hefty £178. Having said that everything else about the place is immaculate and this was still a cheaper option than going direct to our island resort (as we arrived late... More

Very nice hotel; centrally located, near the airport ferry, walking distance to everything - the mosques, fish market, produce market, museum, etc. Great service and very friendly. Rooms were very clean and classy; free wi fi. I would definitely stay here again. Thomas, the owner (from Germany; his wife is Indonesian, and he showed us a photo of his beautiful... More

Stayed in March 2013 with wife and my 18month old son. The Rooms are huge, considering that male is a tiny city itself. Thomas is brilliant at what he does.

Turn in through the gates into the courtyard and the dusty, noisy chaos of Male is left behind. Impeciible service and lots of little touches that make Sala a delightful place to stay. Our room was small but very tastefully furnished with a very nice bathroom. Comfy bed and good air conditioning. Don't miss this lovley little hotel if you... More
