Park House

Male


The brightly painted Park House offers 24 large yellow-and-green rooms with dark-wood furniture and rock-hard mattresses. It’s not a particularly great place, but it's decent value by Male standards, and has a pizza restaurant downstairs and a convenient location in the centre of town. Breakfast is not included.
