Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Bay Island, Port Blair

Location �� Fortune Resort Bay Island boasts a great location in front of Bay of Bengal. The sea view from the hotel is amazing. One can see the distant North Bay Coral and Mt. Harriet. Aberdeen Bazaar, Phoenix Jetty and Cellular Jail are very near to this hotel. It��s away from the noise of the city and is surrounded by ample greenery. Airport is also near at a 5km distance. Architecture �� The resort has a beautiful architecture. It��s made up of Padauk wood, which is a locally available wood variety. The light wooden architecture gives it a good feel and is a suitable architecture for earthquakes. The hotel is perfectly ventilated. The structures are designed in a way that no rainwater enters within the resort. Maintenance of wood is difficult due to sea effect but still ample care is taken and maintenance is regular. Front Desk �� The staff at the Front Desk was very helpful and courteous. We had got a non-sea facing room, but on our request they arranged a sea facing room. Miss Hasina at the Travel Desk was very cooperative. She arranged al our island and beach trips. Room �� The room was clean and good but the bathroom was small. There was a small balcony with an excellent sea view`. There were all basic amenities in the room. The AC was effective. Restaurant - The restaurant of the hotel is considered one of the best in Port Blair. The restaurant is sea facing. We had buffet food on all days. The quality, variety and taste were excellent. The restaurant offers proper packed lunch for those who go on full day trips. The staff was courteous. Impression �� Overall it��s a very good place to stay and is highly recommended.

Average quality of hotel and average facilities provided.

Travel to the hotel is flexible.Staff were courteous the biggest drawback is the quality of food which was pathetic.Hotel is situated in a very good location, but away from the city.Hotel gives you good view to the sea and a very calm & quite place.Property can be recommended to family travellers.

Our stay was quite comfortable. The room was comfortable only the toilet size was smaller. Hotel has only few rooms which are sea facing. The staff was really very nice and very friendly. Food quality was good but only limited food options were available as hotel has just one restorant. We will definately recomment this hotel to all our family and friends.

I stayed in two rooms and checked in on two days respectively.The hotel was very conteous to offer me 1 night advance stay and amend my booking. Staff is really helpful and friendly. The rooms in this hotel are very old. I probably got the worst room which was having no gallery, non functional AC, broken flooring, etc-. While I was checking in next time in this hotel I requested a better room. This time I was offered bit better room but still the room was garden facing (not the sea facing) The rooms in this hotel are pretty old, bathroom needs renovation and are very small. AC and overall room equipment too is pretty old. So I would rate the Rooms and infrastructure as really bad. No value for money. The food in the hotel is a big plus and staff is really nice and helpful. I was very happy with their service.The view from restaurant is awesome. If you are ready to spend money for a great view and food then go for this hotel. But you may want to check out which room you are getting(sea facing or garden facing).
