Nice hostel, friendly staff and a good location for exploring Panjim. Nice bathroom. Wifi and a/c worked as they should. My only issues were not missing the cut off time for the laundry collection on my first night meaning they would not be able to do my laundry on time despite staying 2 nights. Included breakfast was great other than no fruit being available despite the menu stating so. Overall really recommend.

Good property very close to the Panjim bus stand.. old style well maintained property. Cons: situated in a very narrow lane with no dedicated parking. The non ac dorm is very very small for 4 people and no blanket etc is provided basis that felt pricing was on upper side.

Don't book here at all!!!! S***! Not supposed to be a room for humans. It's a 4Bed Room without any window or aircondition. They told us to leave the door open to get oxygen. And we had to. From the entry to the hall everybody could see us sleeping there if we could have catched any sleep. The nightguard left around midnight. There was black mold on the walls, wholes and dirt. It was disgusting. The two stockbeds are right infront of eachother. The photos are fake! 🤮

a very good hostel, very clean and comfortable. The common area is lovely and quite small so it is easy to start chatting to other people. I recommend getting a scooter through them as the guy was super nice and legit

It's a really cute Hostel in the best location possible. Right in the middle of Fountainhas, old Latin Quarters built by the Portuguese. The only drawback is that you can smoke or drink in this hostel, otherwise great value for money! :)

Good thing about the hostel is that it is located very well in Panjim. Check-in was weird as the guy didn’t speak English and was not very friendly or helpful. Overall the hostel is not in a very good state. There is a lingering smell of mould and moist throughout the place. The small 4bed dorm has no window and has lots of mould on the walls. The bathroom is always dirty as well.

Everything was good: localization, food, staff,… Only bad part is that if you need to wash some clothes, the laundry service never comes

Nice location and nice old style building. There is a common AC space which is nice.
