Sea Shell Port Blair

A convenient hotel located in the city of Port Blair, small, quaint and with a bursting nightlife rooftop bar. A must try for sure! The food is excellent, and the breakfast spread yummy! A special thanks to Vinod, Kushal and Dolreich for taking such good care of us! And to the front desk team, and lovely ladies who took care of our room too, thank you!!

Booked this hotel for 3 nights based on positive reviews and location. On a quiet road, just a short taxi ride away from airport and very near to all the jetties, the location was perfect for us. Check in was fast and efficient, as was check out. It is a very well maintained and spotlessly clean property. We took a room with balcony but unfortunately didn't have any sea view. Room was fairly big and attached bathroom was specious. Room amenities included tea/coffee facility, electronic safe, TV with lots of channel option (mostly Indian) and a small seating arrangement. Bathroom had all the necessary toiletries. Shower cubicle featured a rain shower head but one has to wait for a while for the hot water to come through. Room wifi worked perfectly but it was necessary to get multiple logins and password from reception since the ones we started with got exhausted quite fast. Hotel provides room service and we got our food very fast whenever we ordered. Room cupboard was big enough for 2 people. The hotel didn't provide bedroom slippers. One downside of the location is there are not many restaurants nearby but the 2 which are in the hotel provides good food, if somewhat pricy. Breakfast was decent but featured mostly Indian foods like Paratha and Dosa. Western options are severely limited but one can order eggs as per own choice. Biggest disappointment were the croissants, avoid them. Staff attitude were excellent. They were polite, helpful and provided service with a smile. They are a real asset to the hotel. Overall we had a great time and will not hesitate to go back.

I wish I had booked Seashell earlier. The hotel is just 10 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from the Cellular Jail, making it very centrally located. The staff went above and beyond to provide excellent service, and the hotel had a warm, welcoming ambiance. The balcony and its view were particularly enjoyable. While the in-room dining could use improvement, the breakfast was delicious, with a buffet offering a good variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Perched on a hill, the property offers a lovely ocean view from the rooms, adding to the overall experience.

Place is good & clean, however the food at the restaurant was not great for the price below average vegetarian food. Cellular jail is very close by 20mins walk from the hotel.

Neat and clean hotel, good quality food. Spa is not available at this property however mentioned on board. Presently we are at swaraj deep.

Hotel was rooms are very small restaurant ambience is below average roof top is bar only that should be resturent space and hotel is quite fixate on timings
