Le Luminous, Home Stay

L’accoglienza del proprietario, la posizione vicina all’aeroporto e il rapporto qualità-prezzo

Idli as Breakfast was very good, but not poori bhaji Also the enroute passage to enter the property needs up keep so that it can help improve the image of the property. The Property itself inside is maintained very well though

The approach passage to the rooms needs up keep by the community to match the standards the owner has worked on inside the rooms of the property, but we understand that this is supposed to be by the muncipality.

Exceptional host, Shiv helped us with planning our itinerary to scooty rental , seaport and airport pickup & drop, even packed us breakfast to go, when our ferry was too early morning for dine in

Access to the property is a steep incline. No lift or elevator.

Nice, accommodating staff

Clean, Spacious, Amenities, Breakfast, Location

The host was very kind and gentle . He was very helpful and supportive

It was located close to the promenade.

There was some smell in the bathroom.

Chambre très spacieuse, literie ultra confortable, la propreté impeccable (ainsi que le ménage tous les jours!), la terasse avec vue sur la mer, le petit déjeuner varié et très bon, l'emplacement en dehors de l'animation du centre ville, mais à distance raisonnable de celui-ci. Mais surtout l'accueil de Shiv Singh...il m'a fait me sentir acceuillie comme si c'était un ami de longue date, très arrangeant, plein de bons conseils sur les visites alentours...il m'a déposer lui même à l'aéroport ! C'est ma nouvelle maison à Port Blair je vous conseille Luminous homestay vous ne le regretterez pas !

Absolument rien

Price.

I appreciate it’s a homestay, but the area is far from good, the bed had only a bedsheet and a blanket without any hygienic cover, the bathroom was really basic and so was the breakfast. It may be the fact I was asking for things, but I can’t say I felt welcome by the owner.

Vicino all’aeroporto struttura silenziosa con un bel panorama

L’ Isolamento termico scarso: al mattino al sorgere del sole le ampie vetrate riscaldano la stanza. L’ambiente circostante è fatiscente con tanti rifiuti di plastica buttati e senza un ristorante decente

Good

Staff is v good

Bien situé, Shiva présent tous les jours pour aider a réserver le bateau,les hôtels,l'avion,je recommande ce lieu sans souci.

Tout était correcte

Tout est parfait. Le propriétaire est très sympathique, la nourriture est bonne et l'emplacement est idéal.

Owner was too good and very friendly, helped in getting tickets and very helpful.

The room was quite nice and very near to the airport. Shiv as a host was very nice. The breakfast was very delicious and fulfilling.

The host was so good he helped me out with everything i need

The host was an exceptional and helpful person.

Nothing in particular.

It was amazing experience staying here. Clean spacious and lovely owner ready to help you arrange everything you need.

A nice, clean room with amazing view. The owner is super kind and helpful. We got a fantastic dinner and breakfast. Absolutely recommended.

Excellent accommodation in Port Blair, little away from the noisy city center. However, the city center is located at a distance of about 30 minutes by walk, 10 min by Tuk. We liked the peacefulness, in the evenings you could hear cicadas and frogs. The accommodation was spacious and clean. There was hot water in the bathroom and the AC worked flawlessly. There was also a shared kitchen with everything you need, which was very convenient. The accommodation is also special because of the caring attitude of the owner. He offered good recommendations and helped with scooter rental. In addition, he offered an excellent breakfast. Without a doubt, Le Luminous was our best accommodation in the Andaman Islands.

The owner was the most honest and lovely person I’ve ever met as a hotel owner. Made us food very early in morning before our early flight. Helped us with ordering tuk-tuk for the best price.

The location was quiet and convenient. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed. The bed was very comfortable and clean. It was made even more pleasant because our host, Shiv, was amazingly helpful and assisted us in many ways. It was lovely to stay here, and we have rebooked on our return to Port Blair.

Everything was fantastic

This place was fabulous. So clean and spacious, with a stunning view from the balcony. The host was super friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Amazing WiFi and food places nearby too and very close to airport. The breakfast was the best I've had yet in India, so tasty and all home made. I had the idli with sambar and chutneys which were delicious. Oh and vadai too. Yum. I highly recommend this place and would have stayed longer if it weren't for my flight

Honestly there is nothing. The place was exceptional

Beautiful room with balcony and sea and sunrise view. Supercomfy matress and extremly helpful host. Will definitely stay again if back in the Andamans

Zero

Amazingly clean & comfortable Homestay! I stayed here as my overnight in portblair and returned for additional overnights (in between my travels) Shiv is a great host and went to great extents to make sure I was organized for my different travels.

Mr Singh is a happy host and willing to help you with onward travel and local excursions. The bed is so comfortable 😴 💤 and the indian breakfast is good to . I would come back

The room in the homestay was value for money. It was clean, comfortable, well kept and very central. Best of all was Shiv, the owner, who is a gem of a man. Polite, unassuming and resourceful, Shiv goes out of his way in offering tips and advice. He helped me book all my ferry tickets in advance and also arranged transportation for my sightseeing tours in Port Blair. I would definitely come back again to Le Luminous.

Nothing.

It’s super clean, quiet, comfy bed, I had a big balcony with a view of the sea & sunrise. Shiv is a really lovely helpful person & helped me with everything & ferry ticket. & cooks tasty meals!

Nothing

It is located in a narrow lane that is inaccessible to cars.

Greeeeat benefit value! The host is super, super nice and the place is clean and comfortable!! I would definetly stay again. Bonus: amazing sea view!!

I am not sure it’s so easy to access and walk around, but it could be… I was just there for one day. Again, the host is extremely nice!

Great value for money, clean, quiet, nice owner, delicious breakfast. It’s a bit out of town, expect not too many shops etc around but it’s lovely seeing the more quiet side of Port Blair.

All was great. Shiv runs a tight ship, everything is new and works great. He goes out of his way to make sure you have a great stay and serves a tasty breakfast as well!

Nothing negative.

We deliberately booked a homestay and we were not disappointed. Our host was always helpful from the first contact to our departure. Trips, tours, errands and other requests were organized and fulfilled. Thank you very much, we felt comfortable.

Just about everything ! Shiv's the man......a great host, especially when chatting over coffee 😐😂

Bit far from centre and points of interest !

It’s clean and tidy.

It’s a bit old.

Enough space for 2, value for money when you are on a long trip and want to save money on your stay.

Clean, well maintained, good host, good breakfast and dinner, good view

Little smelly bathroom

Breakfast was very good. Had dinner one night, very tasty. Mr. Singh is a good cook. He also helped us a lot booking ferries to other islands and also booking auto and giving us all kind of suggestions. Very caring person. Thank you Mr. Singh.

For me it was nice, but a bit elevation to go to this property from street so people with knee or leg problem should not go here.

Shiv is very helpful and takes care of everything. He will assist you in choosing the right rental vehicles, ferry, etc. Don't have to do anything prior. You can always reach out to him. The room was clean and well maintained too

The room was clean, and the kitchen was next door along with a sitting area.The owner was so polite, he went out of his way to book our tours.

No complaints

Host is great person, its basically a homestay, just its on 2nd floor but the helps with your so it fine. The kitchen is an added benefit if u have a kid along or u yourself want to cook something. The Location is 150 mtrs inside the main road but could be found with the board named. Its a feasible and comfortable option

just the 2nd floor.

Extremely amicable host. Rooms are as advertised. No hidden issues. View from balcony is good. Great wifi.

Very good value for the money! The owner is very organized and gives clear explanations (pretty rare here) and we received a warm welcoming too! The place is very clean, well located and very comfortable! I highly recommend!

Shiv was a brilliant host and very welcoming and helpful. The home stay is very central but not right in the hustle and bustle so you get some peace. The view is beautiful. Delicious breakfast!

Nothing 🙂

The owner is fantastic, nothing is to much trouble. Being from the Andaman he has extensive knowledge of the islands and can recommend so many things to do depending on your interests and time available. it's well located near to Port Blair and the airport.

Owner’s behaviour was amiable and room tariff is really affordable.

Need a bold sized hording beside road so easily can find the property name .

Best place ive stayed in In India, Host top man, help you anyway he can. It is in a local neighbourhood, he sorted out a shave for me even though barber was closed. No tourists,but ate locally and everyone friendly and helped in dinner selection.

All good, R150 from port or airport in tuk tuk

Great stay highly recomended

Everything was good

The host is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms and the common areas are very clean and well maintained.

Nothing, the place is perfect.

Mr Shiv Singh was the kindest host ever. He gave me the better, more spacious room with a balcony overlooking the sea without extra charge. He also provided me with breakfast when I came from the ferry on the first day. Moreover he always made sure that I was doing ok, giving me lifts to the bus stop, organising lunch for me, etc. There is a fully equipped kitchen which you can use and good wifi. Everything is within walking distance.

Nothing

My stay at Le Luminous was absolutely fantastic. Mr Shiv Singh welcomed me personally, offered me a cup of coffee, gave me valuable tips and even a lift to the seaside. He was always very kind and helpful. He even organised my ferry tickets for me and saw me off at 5 in the morning with a packed breakfast. The room was very clean and comfortable and came with a fully equipped kitchen and even drinking water. Nearby there are restaurants, a supermarket and an ATM.

Nothing

Owner of the property was very helpful

We have visited many places, at least 15 countries, and stayed in different hotels, homestays, Airbnb, etc. But, I must say this is one of the best places we have stayed. This is an excellent place for a couple or a family with a beautiful sea view. The rooms are very clean and well-organized. The views from this house at this price point are exceptional. I have added a wonderful view taken from the balcony. The owner Mr. Shiv is an excellent and very humble, helpful person. Helped us anytime I requested something. He has arranged Scooty, auto, and car.. all types of transports for us. He has treated us like a family member. He has shared detailed information about ANDAMAN history. Believe me, you can stay at this place only by listening to his stories and welcoming behaviour. We have not planned much about our trip, but after discussing it with him we planned all our trips. It was wonderful. We rarely come across such a positive personality. He became like a guide for us in a very short time. We were mostly vegetarian, but the owner was so helpful that he cooked food for us. Thanks to him, we got a home-cooked food experience even at Port Blair whenever we wanted. He booked ferry tickets and arranged cars for us. I don't think anywhere in the world, one will get such facilities without any extra charges. We felt like we were staying at our elder brother's place, so safe and caring. We are looking forward to having more vacations at Andaman and staying at his place.

The host is of utmost help.

Nothing much tbh

It was clean, enough furnished to feel at home with proper wifi, AC, geiser, filter and kitchen. The owner Mr. Shiv is an excellent and very humble, helpful person. Helped me anytime I requested something. Already booked my second stay there. If you are looking for a budget homely stay, can consider this homestay.

Owner is very kind&nice,helped us with everything

Just entrance

It is value for money and one can easily relax with all available amenities. The property is very close to Corbyn’s cave beach and cellular jail and the staff behaviour is extremely polite. I spent one of the best time over here.

Nothing. Everything was almost perfect.

Mr Shiv Singh was very helpful and courteous. He organised taxi and tickets for the light and sound show at our request. Rooms were comfy and clean. Breakfast was hearty.

We had a great time. Shiv, the owner, made our trip! He gave us great advice on how to get around the islands, organised a car tour for us to Diglipur, and made us lovely breakfasts. The rooms were extremely clean, the air conditioning worked well, and it is easy to get around Port Blair from the hotel by tuk-tuk.

N/A

Fantastic littel homestay in Port Blaire. Highly recommend staying here, host was fantastic and provided us with dinner on both nights - it was delicious! He also kindly packed us a breakfast to go the next morning despite the early start to the day. The bed was perfect and the room had everything we needed. There were some beautiful sunsets/sunrises from the property as well.

Wonderful host and good rooms with homely complementary breakfast too . Their service is excellent and will recommend to everyone who is visiting portblair

Everything, excellent active host.

I had two lovely stays at Le Luminous. The host is very helpful, attentive and welcoming. The homemade breakfast was delicious and if required you can also get lunch and dinner, which also tastes excellent. The rooms are perfectly clean and you immediately feel at home.

There is nothing to complain about.

The room was neat and clean. The basic aminities were also good. The location had good access to the major places in the town. The property owner was also very supportive.

Le Luminous is a great place to stay. My room was spotless clean and comfortable and best value for money I had so far in India. The place also has an amazing vue from the balcony upstairs with the most beautiful sunrise overlooking the sea. Location is great, not far from the airport. The owner, Shiv, is very kind and willing to assist with any travel arrangements or advice not just for Port Blair but for the Andamans in general. He made me a beautiful dinner and breakfast. He is a great host and a beautiful person, a delight to talk to not only about travelling tips but about life in general. I wish a had stayed longer and would recommend his place 100%.

Interior and owner was nice

Room space but ok as per price
