Everything is perfect, from the facilities and cleanliness to the friendly, helpful staff. So clean ... and absolutely NO bugs - I stayed for a total of five weeks and did not see even a fly, or ant, or mosquito in the room at all. The bed was comfortable, the A/C and wifi both worked well. Shower has plenty of hot water and strong water pressure. There is free filtered water available which is so convenient and no need to buy bottled water. The breakfasts are served hot and fresh in the mornings, with the choice of either Indian or Western food - both are tasty, healthy and hearty. The coffee which is served with breakfast is quite good. The atmosphere at Urbban Castle is relaxed, cheerful and uplifting. The staff are easily accessible and happy to help with any requests, including arranging laundry service, tours, ferry rides, taxis, etc for reasonable prices. The owner also went above and beyond to help me get a local Sim card. The owner speaks English clearly so he's easy to understand and I did not experience any problems with miscommunication. The location is quite central and convenient. There is a nursery school downstairs so in the mornings and early afternoon, the children can be noisy, but for me, this only added to the experience of staying in a local neighborhood in Port Blair. There's a peaceful backyard with different types of birds - I saw racket tailed Drongos, which was quite a thrill. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. The property takes security measures, but also the neighborhood is safe - I did not encounter any unfortunate or worrisome people or issues during my two week stay. I highly recommend Urbban Castle and have no complaints. I hope to stay here again when I return to the beautiful Andaman Islands.
