The Hosteller Bam Goa, Assagao

the room was great, I booked the deluxe with no balcony. It was large and spacious, with a large bathroom. The bed and pillows are incredibly comfortable. The whole payment, check-in experience, check-out, entering the rooms etc, works with an app, which didn't really bother me.

- If you walk barefoot in your room for 10 mins, your soles will get very dirty. So take slippers with you. - I paid extra for breakfast. The first time I went to breakfast the selection wasn't great. Its either a full Indian meal or toast – and maybe some cereal. Not really worth it. There are plenty of great cafes in Assagao with good options. - The second time I went for breakfast which starts at 09.00 I arrived at 09.20 and was told that they would take a 45-60 mins to serve breakfast, with no further explanation or apology. I had somewhere to be at 10, so I had to miss breakfast. - If you have lunch/dinner at the cafe, nobody will come to the table. You have to order on the app, pre-pay, and the meal will arrive once ready. This being said, I think the value for money and the rooms are good. Just take it without breakfast, and eat elsewhere.

Less than 5 mins to Vagator & Anjuna beaches, this property is nestled in a nice neighborhood of villas and a great view of the surrounding greenery from the rooftop Pool. The property seems fairly new and is well maintained

Excessive automation : Everything from check in to room-service is via an app which is glitchy.!! However the friendly staff are quick to respond & assist.

good staff

wifi is not working in all time

Amazing property, peaceful location, friendly staff.

The terrace area and the staff

Almost everything. Room, washroom were clean, the entire property was cleaned and well maintained. Staff were really cooperative and helpful. Though in the north goa, location of hostsller bam is in a very quiet place. Perfect location.

Only big demerit i would say lack of food choices. Very minimal menu. Also no non-veg.

The staff was super helpful and lovely, the place was neat and comfortable We had a lovely stay and the place itself is amazing

The app/website that you need to use for all the services makes things unnecessarily complicated. Often things show being out of stock or simply unavailable to order but when you ask the staff it is available. Or things go in and out of stock in a matter of minutes. The timing for different items being in and out of stock is also strange. There is also a taxi stand right next to the hotel and they don't allow you to book taxi's from anywhere but them which is annoying if youve already pre booked it from else where or don't want to use them as they sometimes over charge and change rates randomly and don't seem the most trust worth

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel. From the moment I stepped into my room, it felt brand new, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. Very good, in western standards. The atmosphere was cozy, and every detail added to the comfort. The bed was perfect—on the softer side but still very supportive—and the pillows were fantastic. The service truly stood out. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, even following me to the rooftop just to check if I needed my room serviced! A special shoutout to Mukesh at reception, who was incredibly kind and helpful, as well as the rest of the team, who were equally attentive. One unique feature is that everything is controlled through the website, including room access via a one-time code that regenerates each time. While it’s convenient not having to carry a key, it took me a little while to get used to the system. That said, the reception team was always happy to assist whenever needed. Initially, I was a bit hesitant about being assigned a ground-floor room, but any concerns disappeared as soon as I stepped inside. It was peaceful, private, and nothing like what I had imagined a ground-floor room to be. The curtains did a great job of blocking out light, making it easy to sleep in, and overall, the room was wonderfully quiet and comfortable. Oh and the rooftop pool + bar were great! I just wish I'd spent more time there. In every way, this stay exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to return!

Not really a big con: the web-based, key-less room access has its pros and cons. Generally I didn't love it but I got accustomed to it after a couple days. Thats definitely not something that should bother anyone when booking this place, unless you don't have a smartphone.
