Adarsh Hotel

Had booked a stay with Hotel Adarsh in Port Blair for a couple of days. It is an economy category hotel but very basic in nature. The rooms are sufficiently large enough to accommodate a group of four. It is a 5-minute walk from the Veer Savarkar airport. Nothing extraordinary about the accommodation facilities provided here. However, the rooms were neat and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful in nature. P.s.- Do not try the food offered by their restaurant. It is not at all up to the mark We had ordered a chicken biryani and to our surprise they put boiled pieces of chicken in the biryani. So do not try the food.

The only redeeming feature of this accomadation is that it is handy for the airport. The rooms are basic, grubby and the sheets unchanged. The staff are officious and unprofessional, it took us nearly an hour to check in, you are asked to get your own copies of your documents from a copy shop down the road, it was more than tedious, with the over officious receptionist checking and rechecking visas and passports etc. The only time he smiled was when he informed me that my visa had ran out, it hadn't. Later he then woke us up to inform us that he had lost the copies......we had to be out of the room by 8.00am prompt. There was also complimentary cockroaches in the bathroom.
