Not quite what we expected as this was booked as part of a package thru Experience Andaman which was a rip off in total anyways. This is at best a two star and more likely a one star. The room is roughwalls are dirty, switch plates etc filthy. Sheets and bed was at least clean. The entire place smelled of mothballs. The bathroom was rough. Open shower in the corner of the small bathroom with concrete floor. Def a one star bathroom. Make sure you ask for a hair dryer before the morning. There may be nicer rooms than what we were given. Poor wifi and only limited in the lobby. TV but no English channels. They do pack you a breakfast if you leave early which was helpful by giving you a coupon that you must present to the restaurant before 9 pm the night before. You cannot walk to town etc from here. I wouldnt stay here again as Im sure there are other better options especially when youve paid for better thru a tour package.

I have been visiting Andaman since 1978. When Megapode Nest was built and started I stayed here. The cottages built to replicate Nicobarese huts I stayed in them. I have visited at least ten times to Porrblair but my best stay has always been in Megapode nest . The magnificent breathtaking view you get from your cottages is truly unforgettable. The Sea below and the beautiful sight of ships and boats below puts you in heaven. I have travelled world extensively but cant compare with any other place I have stayed. Food , if you enjoy seafood , is excellent. If you order something from north or totally different style you are in for trouble. Informing your likes in the morning can solve your problems in evening. Remember its a government hotel sure then you will get best service. Take my word, do stay here for a lifetime experience.

We stayed in nicobari cottages for 4 nights here with family. Had taken 2 nicobari cottages which are the best in this hotel. Only nicobari cottages are nice and sea facing here, rest other rooms are very low class. Extremely poor service in restaurant. Examples they didn't give packed food for our small kid and said we only give it for adults.No juce in breakfast. Very limited options in breakfast lunch and dinner items. Packed breakfast is a practical joke. Extremely rude behaviour of manager and staffs. TV was not at all working and on complaining no one did anything for 4days. Manager gave the lame excuse that it's problem of dish operator, when I said to him why it's working every where else in other hotels and issue with all rooms in your hotel only then he said..it is like that and he can't do anything. Even after charging so much they can't provide basic facilities. There is a beautiful sea facing restaurant which has been used for privacy parties and buffet there is far far better than what u get in the restaurant. Food is very limited and tasteless. Conclusion: I personally wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. Though view from Nicobari cottages are nice but in Port Blair you will hardly spend time in the room during day and in night nothing is visible, what you need is services which are pathetic, food is worse, costly and tasteless. I advise and request travellers to better go for other private properties like sea shell, fortune bay and others, even if you don't get a direct view of ocean it's ok since in Port Blair you will hardly go in room for sleeping. So better to take good room in private property where services and food are good.

A good hotel with a great view. Lie on a hammock and read a book or just sit on your balcony and absorb the view. Good location too - very close to the airport and the jetty. Perfect for a 1/2 night stay in Port Blair.

We had 2 days stay in Megapode Hotel with one day in Delux Room and second day in Nicobari Cottage. Both the rooms were with best orientation .... overseeing the sea. Nicobari Cottage is superior to Delux Room as well more fantastic view of sea. Both the rooms are having good room area with all facilities. Hotel staff are also very supportive that we could experience. Food quality is good but would suggest to place your food order atleast 30-45 min before you need. One should not miss to stay in Megapode if you are in Port Blair.
