Wild Orchid

This place is good, only for the wonderful bar! Since all the rooms are along the main island road there is so much noise of vehicular traffic at all times. Nights are really hard because of this and nothing can be done about it really. The staff were friendly and the food was decent.

Noisy. Rooms are right beside the main road and there are buses, trucks and big vehicles plying at night creating such a din! Not for light sleepers.

Rooms and ambience.

Restaurant was not able to provide variety. One has to go outside even for tea.

Wild Orchid is a nice and stylish hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean. Bed sheets and pillows had no stains which is rare for India. Clean bathrooms. No cockroaches in the rooms. I saw a few geckons but they were shy and didn't bother me. Havelock Island electricity network goes off rather often. The hotel has a backup generator. When the electricity went off for the first time and the generator kicked in it looked strange. Later I felt it more like a hilarious island feature. Narra restaraunt produces high-quality food and drinks. Their pumpkin toast is unforgettable! However, you are free to explore other dining options. There are plenty of them nearby including a big seafood restaraunt. The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. They can exchange you USDs to IRN if you need to. There are just two ATMs at Havelock and they are far away from the hotel.

The hotel is stretched along the main road between Kala Pathar and Govind Nagar beaches. Not very busy road but still the traffic is there. I spent three nights in the hotel and haven't seen any room service. It was ok to me so I didn't raise it with reception. I don't like the way hotels make beds. Toilet flush was weak. Who needs it in India where every bathroom has a nice bucket? ))
