(Lower to middle floors facing the city/island side)
A cozy and compact room (approximately 129 sq. ft.) designed for a comfortable, quick transit. It features a plush Queen bed, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, an espresso maker, and a modern en-suite bathroom. It is the perfect, budget-friendly choice for solo travelers or couples needing a restful sleep before an early flight.
Deluxe Twin Room
(Lower to middle floors facing the city/island side)
Identical in size and amenities to the Deluxe Double room, but furnished with two separate twin (single) beds instead of one Queen. This is a highly practical option for friends or colleagues traveling together who prefer separate sleeping arrangements.
Deluxe Sea View Room
(Front-facing on the middle to upper floors)
Slightly more spacious (approximately 194 sq. ft.), this room is equipped with a Queen bed and features large windows that offer direct, beautiful views of the Indian Ocean and the Hulhumale Public Beach. It is an excellent upgrade if you want to wake up to a tropical sunrise before catching your seaplane or speedboat.
Deluxe Suite (or Junior Suite)
(Premium placement on the upper floors with unobstructed ocean views)
The most spacious accommodation at the property (approximately 215 sq. ft.). This suite features a Queen bed as well as a separate seating area with a single sofa bed, allowing it to accommodate up to three guests. It is ideal for small families or travelers who want a bit of extra room to stretch out and relax alongside premium sea
The Catch Restaurant (Main Dining & Rooftop)
Maldivian, Asian, Indian, and International (Continental/European)
This is the hotel’s primary in-house dining venue, highly praised by guests for its beautiful rooftop terrace that offers uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. It serves a daily breakfast buffet (featuring both local Maldivian dishes and standard European breakfast items), as well as à la carte lunch and dinner. The menu is quite diverse, offering everything from fresh local seafood and Indian curries to familiar international comfort foods like chicken, fries, and fresh salads.
The Coffee Shop / Cafe Area
Light snacks, pastries, and specialty coffees/teas
Situated within the hotel, this casual spot is perfect for grabbing a quick bite or a caffeine boost. Since h78 is primarily a transit hotel, having a dedicated coffee area is ideal for guests who have very early morning flights or need a quick espresso immediately upon arrival.
The “Bar” / Beverage Lounge (Non-Alcoholic)
Mocktails, fresh tropical juices, smoothies, soft drinks, and teas
While booking platforms often list a “bar” or “lounge” at h78, it is very important to note that Hulhumalé is a local, inhabited island, meaning the sale and consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited by Maldivian law. Therefore, the hotel’s bar operates entirely as a “dry bar.” It is a fantastic spot to relax on the terrace or near the beach with a freshly blended fruit smoothie, a creative mocktail, or a cold soda while enjoying the ocean breeze.
