Een echte aanrader voor je verblijf in Port Blair
Pros:

De medewerkers zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en spreken goed Engels. Er is een fijne sfeer. De locatie is ideaal en het dakterras is een fijne plek om wat te eten en drinken met mooi uitzicht. Perfecte plek voor een dagtrip naar Jolly Buoy.

Cons:

De badkamer kan een renovatie gebruiken, maar in principe werkte alles naar behoren.

Perfect for one night stay in Port Blair.
Pros:

We loved this hotel's rooftop restaurant. The food was fantastic, it was a great setting, and lovely ambiance with the live music in the evening.

Cons:

They need to get rid of all the carpets in the rooms. They are old and gross. Just toss them and keep it to only hard wood flooers.

Cons:

It looked like a residential building with no facilities. There was no hot water in the bath and instead of repeated complaints, they told me the coil was damaged. The room size was small and it not worth the value

Lovely stay!
Pros:

This was a wonderful hotel, and I would highly recommend it! Has a wonderful rooftop bar-restaurant, with a very soulful singer, doing a live performance. The rooms are comfortable and good, in particular, the deluxe rooms facing the sea have a wonderful view to wake up to!! The other restaurant, downstairs for regular food, is also good providing quality dishes, only it can get a bit crowded at times.

Cons:

Nothing

Over all excellent, but there could be some improvements as indicated
Pros:

The food and hospitality of Mr. Sib Shanker in the Restaurant

Cons:

1. no exhaust in bathroom
2. saw some cocroaches in the room though the room was very clean and specious.
3. In our balcony (Room No 107) the smell of food from the kitchen below was coming, so we had to keep the balcony glass closed all the time and thus could not enjoy sitting in the balcony.
