I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms are very neat, although a bit small, but well-furnished with a nice bathroom. The service was impeccable, with a warm welcome and great hospitality. The location is central and convenient, although finding transportation was a bit challenging. The dining experience was mixed, with some excellent offerings like custom-made omelettes, but some aspects needing improvement. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet with a nice view of the bay, equipped with amenities like an electric kettle, ironing board, and ironing box, though they were a bit on the smaller side. The service was exceptional, with staff like Freddy, Sumithi, Deepak, and Heren being incredibly helpful and accommodating. The location was ideal, just a short distance to the airport and ferry station, with helpful guidance from Mr Parvez Rana and Ms. Zoha Abbas. The dining experience was satisfactory with a good variety of items. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The hotel has a lovely location ideal for those traveling between Port Blair and Havelock, with support from Mr Parvez Rana and guidance from Ms. Zoha Abbas. The rooms are small but with a direct view of the water. The dining is average, not lavish but decent; however, the hotel is overpriced compared to similar standards on the mainland.

The hotel may not have a swimming pool, but the rooms, maintained impeccably by the gentlemen in charge, are very clean and well-maintained. I would recommend the SeaShell Hotel in Port Blair to any tourist.

The service at the hotel was amazing, with standout individuals like Subbaiah and Khurshid. I especially loved the breakfast provided. Ranjit in the restaurant was really helpful, suggesting us to try some signature dishes.
Location

The location of the hotel on top of a hillock is ideal and takes just 10-15 minutes to the airport station and the ferry station. It may be a bit far from local sightseeing spots but is very convenient. Sea-facing rooms charging Rs. 1280 in Havelock Sea Shell seem to be a result of clever marketing over the internet.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was not that great as I ended up having hardly anything to eat. The opening time, which was 10 minutes late, was a bit problematic for people heading to the morning ferry. Staff could provide better information. Overall, the hotel seems heavily overpriced when compared to similar standards in mainland India.

The facilities at the SeaShell Hotel were satisfactory. However, it seems that the pricing may not align with the value received.
