Hotel Shompen: Port Blair's Better Accomodation.

This hotel is one of the better budget hotels of the island. Located just at the middle point of the city it bmakes the location an advantage. You are near everything almost all tourist points of the city. The hotel has AC/ Non AC rooms and food is good. I did not experience it but those who stayed in this hotel told me. It's any time a better budget accomodation of the island.

Hotel A C C Ltd.: Port Blair's Budget Accomodation.

I did not stay at this hotel but the name of the hotel made me curious. It is named Hotel ACC Ltd, incidentally the company ( an MNC) I work for also has the same name ACC Ltd, ( hahahaha) but it was established in 1936. I am sure my company is not going to sue the company for using the same name( May be they have up something to prove).

I really got interested in the place because of the location of the hotel. It is located just opposite main bus station of the city( Andaman has very good 333kms long road spreading over the islands) and not every one is tourist with lot of money to spend. Most of the touristy hotels are located on the beach and are very expensive. This hotel may be a suitable place for back packers and for travellers travelling on a shoe string budget and dont want to miss anything as this is a small town, everything is well with in reach and may be within walkable distance. All the touristy hotels serve food, naturally they are expensive but here people can have food in nearby restaurants for as low as Rs.50 to Rs100 ( USD$ 1 to 2).

Unique Qualities: The rooms are fancy free and with a toilet and running water. I shall rate this place much better than what you get at Sudder Street, Kolkata.

Sinclairs Bay View Hotel: Port Blair's Better Accomodation. Sinclairs Bay View Hotel Review

I did not stay here but, I crossed this place many a times. The photographs taken from tourist bus. I did make enquiry about this place from my travel agent friends Cox & King people. This is also one of the good hotels of Port Blair runs mostly for the tourists and business executives. Situated at breath taking location with beach and hillock, it makes your stay extremely delightful.

The Sinclair hotel chain at one time used to be a highly respected one in Bengal with their Siliguri ( Foot hills for Darjeeling) property as flagship for the chain, but in recent times Siliguri property has lost it's glory and name due to union problem and bad service.

I am sure, in Port Blair they are enjoying better working atmosphere and the hotel offers very good service. It was also confirmed by Soumitra Ghosh my friend at Cox & Kings, who bring lot many guests to Andamans.

Unique Qualities: It has all the facilities and services a good three star hotel can offer.

Fortune Resort Bay Island ( Welcome Group): Port Blair's Best Accomodation.

Designed by the legendary architect Mr.Charles Correa ( who designed Chandigarh city of India), this place is surely the best accomodation in Port Blair. The location, overlooking the North Bay , is just out of the place. The place is on a hillock, called Mrine Hill, almost near the Naval dockyard, has the best view of the sea and North Bay! I was given one of their best rooms ( 305), the view from the room was fantastic! I could almost see the Sunrise every morning. The room had tea/coffee maker( which was over supplied), I used to make my own tea see the sunrise and communicate with many VT friends with my laptop everyday. I enjoyed every bit of my stay in this hotel.

The food was great, the menu changed everyday, the chef was great! Once, I appreciated his cooking, he almost asked me everyday, what should I cook? He even cooked " Chettnad Chicken" at my request. All the staffs, managers, chefs, reception took personal care and greetings came from every person in the hotel. I even, found the swimming pool people very cooperative, careful and helpful. The room had ample supply of toiletories, towels, bath robes, slippers, fruits, cold drinks. They even cleaned the rooms twice a day!
Before going to Port Blair, I read some hotel review in VT, who made very sarcastic comments about this hotel. I found it totally untrue. I also found, many Europeans, Japanese people staying in this place.

A great place and great experience.

Unique Qualities: This hotel has 45 rooms, some overlooking the sea. They have a bar called Nicobar and Mandalay Restaurant for multi cuisine meals and sea food. The place has a beautiful salt water swimming pool, a fitness centre, private movie theatre, library, indoor games, conference and everything thing you look in a five star resort.
