“Sleeper” – Louise Wener.
Backpacking In The Maldives🇲🇻: Sleeping In A Pod At Nap Corner, Male
The Maldives will never rank high on my travel odyssey. A country that caused me stress, heartache, fake news, bribery, corruption and theft of money. I won’t be back till ye. Close yer door on the way out, “The” Maldives, or send me £2,000 which won’t even cover your fakery. I still cannot fathom it or get my head round it all. But before it all went wrong, I had prepared to write so many good articles. Weird how life pans out, this is supposed to be a good review of a cool place to sleep! And your immigration and airlines fucked it all up.
Rest yer head before they excrement ye
I did keep my promise to write about it though, I actually deleted all my Facebook posts on The Maldives 🇲🇻 that I posted live there, too angry and bankrupt to care. That was a protest. You don’t deserve my publicity. Yet you’re getting it again you flukey bastards. I must say it is not Nap Corner’s fault. Nap Corner is decent. This was supposed to be a great review!

Reminders of Curacao, Gatwick and Astana all in one came together when I backpacked my way to Dorm Pod 1 at Nap Corner in Male, The Maldives. I was here for a quick night only and it certainly is well priced, well located and is cosy. Nap Corner is excellent.

I was in Dorm Pod Bed One. Double left on the way in, and upper bunk. It was all purple which totally reminded me of Yotel at Gatwick…

It’s safe, secure, quiet yet still sociable. I met a cute Japanese backpacker here and in the hall area you can actually chat and chill out. Here are a few pointers…
– There are only 10 beds here, so do book early.
– it’s quite hard to find, look up on the street and you will see a sign. Push the buzzer and walk up the stairs.
– You can only stay one night. Maximum stay is listed as 12 hours for a “nap”, officially though I stayed here from 5 p.m. until about 10 a.m. though I vacated my bed at 9.00 a.m.

Napcorner is a tool designed to offer more freedom to our guests from around the world. Guests can check in 24 hours a day and use the facilities for as little as 1 hour.

Despite hating The Maldives for their corruption, Nap Corner was actually brilliant!
