Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Bay Island, Port Blair

The tall thin light skinned guy at the front desk tried to scam us into inferior rooms even though we paid extra for the bay view rooms. He was ******, rude and kept shouting at my parents and I (we are of Indian origin) until my white husband showed up and then we suddenly had no trouble getting the rooms we paid for. The amount of racism I faced in a hotel in my own home country would have been funny if it did not make me so angry. Also, they have a 'Travel Desk' run by someone called Xavier that charges more than double the rate for car rentals anywhere else in Port Blair. We also ended up getting food poisoning, likely because the kitchen was unsanitary. The rest of the staff (other than ones at the front desk) were sweet and the property was pretty. Definitely not coming back, and I am considering lodging a complaint through the embassy.

Buffet spread was very average for both dinner and breakfast, thought the staff was able to provide additional items on de***d. Sea view from the room was good. Overall it wasn't a great value for money.

Very good service by Mayuri at concierge, as well as Johnson and Rajendar at the restaurant - they went out of their way to ensure our dietary needs or cravings are satisfied

Hospitality was excellent, beauful seafacing rooms, mouthwatering food. I must add Naman at reception, Pratima in restaurant, Manager Upendra in Bar, Chief Engineer and GM Mr Khanna were just great. They all made our stay so conformable. Neeraj Mehra

Loved the place. The view from the dining area is great. Very peaceful and beautiful. Can hear birds all around. The staff is very very friendly and helpful. Ajitesh served us very well. Was very efficient and prompt in his services. Highly recommend this place.

The rooms, facilities and food is of course good like other 5-star properties. What makes it stand apart is an amazing and breathtaking view of the sea and hospitality of the staff. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best places to stay when you're in Port Blair.
