              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.

              Location wise best location with very good facilities”

              The hotel's location is its USP. Its quite near Cellular Jail, Fish Museum and Sea View Point. The market was also at a little walking distance. Out of 6 rooms in the Hotel, 2 rooms have sea view. The balcony was also quite large. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The furnishing was reasonably good. The hotel staffs would also call auto when required. Overall, a very good value for money. However, the Hotel has no lift, although the staff helped in transporting the luggage. The Hotel has no proper restaurant but it does provide simple potato sandwiches as breakfast. If anything else needed, they would bring from some restaurant as per the order, which we found quite delicious. It was a budget hotel but I would recommend this hotel for any tourist.

              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.

              Go for the suite room if you want sea view. Warm and welcoming staff. Stayed for three nights, highly recommended if you want an economical stay with good views. We even worked one day from there too, the Wifi does not work but jio and Airtel speed was around 10 Mbps :)

              Book honeymoon catagory room as the view is breathtaking . Worth every penny . Don't order food from here if you are having shortage of time as they get it delivered from some nearby restaurant that comsumes lot of time , better go out and get your lunch dinner done on the way . View from balcony is just awesome
