              This is very clean, basic facilities like ac and hot water. Simple breakfast would be provided. ”

              This is a budget accommodation worth it. The locality very central. Adjacent to the waterfront and fish landing jetty. You can lots of fresh fish delivered outside the hotel on the road by fishing vessels. Air conditioning and hot water in bathroom are available. Basic breakfast is provided and other meals they procure from outside and provide. There’s a dining table and chairs for the guests. However, there are plenty of eating places around, within 15 to 30 minutes walk offering food for all budgets. You may get the rooms the balconies of which open to the water front. Overall, it’s an excellent budget accommodation which is very clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful. I recommend this facility for those travelers looking for budget accommodation which clean and value for money.

              I have seen people complaining abt the small size of the hotel. In actual it's a big flat converted to small hotel. However the place was very clean and well maintained. The caretaker (uncle) was very nice to us. He gave us choice in breakfast. He woke up us in the morning as our ferry was at 6 30 and also packed brekfast for us. The place exceeded our expectations.

              I stayed at Shelter Hotel for 3 days, Alam & Uttam are the nicest and friendly Host I have ever seen in my life. They arranged everything for me starting from Scooty, Food and Ferry to Havelock. Location is just top class, they have sea facing rooms and balcony. And the hotel is near to market and wine shop. I will highly recommend you all to visit Shelter Hotel.

              Pros: 1. The hotel rooms are big in size. Very spacious and very well maintained. 2. Located just in front of Bay of Bengal. Ross Island is visible from balcony. 3. Walking distance from Cellular Jail and sports complex. 4. Staff is very polite and cooperative. Cons: 1. Bit away from market. Fish market nearby. 2. The food smell of kitchen comes into the room. I being a vegetarian didn't like the cooking smell of fish. 3. Breakfast is simple but good. If you want to spend a day or two in Port Blair, this is an ideal property.

              The rooms were clean and sufficient with a nice balcony overlooking the sea. All the amenities were in working condition and the bathroom was clean. There are large cupboards to store your clothes and baggage. The staff were very friendly and even offered to make us breakfast and packed it since we were leaving for out boat to Havelock at 5.30 AM. The vehicle rent is a bit expensive at Rs. 500 per day. However, its the same throughout Andaman, so cannot blame the hotel for that price. However, they offered us the bike for free since we had to use it only for a couple of hours during the night, which was very thoughtful. Things to improve: Keep a small toothpaste in the bathroom. P.S. The WiFi is not in a working condition in most of the places in Port Blair, due to BSNL having problems.

              The Hotel is actually just a floor in an apartment, but the sea facing rooms are excellent in terms of view. The bay waters greets one in the morning and at night the shimmering lights of the ships anchored in the waters and the stars above make create a mistique environment. The day time gives an insight into the daily lives of the residents, the market being in vicinity, the fishermen come in boats with their fresh catch. The balcony is like an opera seat which has different shows being screened at different times. The room per say was average, bathroom clean, the staff was extremely courteous. The only issues was food since they have no inhouse restaurant. Breakfast is offered and is delicious and tea coffee available as and when asked for. Overall a good place to put up.
