The Shelter at Sea

Really surprised by our stay and by the reviews on TripAdvisor which do not match up with our experience. As soon as you arrive your heart sinks. The property has no clear signage of where to enter and luckily there were workmen who pointed the way. The stairs are no good if you have any waking difficulty with your cases - no problem for us though. We booked the honeymoon suite. The view from the balcony is lovely but thats about it. We had cockroaches in our bathroom every night and the room is just a bit grubby. The breakfast room is next door so we also had loud shouty guests waking us up every morning. The breakfast was fine and staff friendly enough, but this is an apartment in a house, not a hotel. Its definitely is not worth the money we paid and on our return paid same money and stayed in a much nicer hotel.

Located around 10 minutes from the airport and 15 mins from the Jetty. This place is an ideal stopover if you are in Port Blair for a day, before you head out to Havelock and Neil Islands. The rooms are not big but good enough for a couple. The staff is quite friendly and helpful. The Cellular jail is located barely 3 kms from this place and can be reached by a pleasant 20 min walk.

Proximity to Cellular jail is a good thing. This is like a regular apartment being used as a hotel. The food quality in the hotel is average. The service is below average. Wifi signal is poor and does not always connects.

I stayed there just for a night. since i was reaching port blair by late evening , then had to go out for city viewing and then next morning early check out , I opted for this rather cheaper guest house. the rooms are on 2nd floor. the rooms/suite was small but nice and clean with very nice view of the sea. The caretakers were very helping and well behaved.. Prepared tea ,coffee whenever we asked for. Not many options for breakfast but prepared tasty paranthas and poha . Cellular jail and marine park at 15 min walking distance. Overall good for a night halt if not looking for luxury.

We stayed in this home stay for 3 nights during our Port Blair trip which was nice & pleasant. The Property is kinda isolated & silent place of the city just the bank of sea. 2 rooms of hotel have wonderful sea view balcony. The staff was so helpful.
