Every room has Sea view - this view is way better than some of the expensive hotels on Marine Drive. Reasonably priced hotel with sea view worth waking up to. Clean and decent sized rooms with functional bathroom. Friendly staff who go the extra mile to offer great service. Lots of food options within walking distance. Very convenient location.

Courteous Hospiltality.
Staff is extremely courteous and very helpful. This is my 2nd stay with Ocean, in a room with the ocean-view. Room & the bathroom are well kept; very clean. You can have dinner even late at night in the ground floor restaurant. Service staff & the chef are very friendly with a very cheerful smiles. Service staff always make sure you are not hungry. I never experienced this much hospitality anywhere in the world.
