Guest Reviews
- Raz (3/5): Dirty room and beddings. - The location and the wifi. - we booked a room with a balcony but they tried to give us a room without.
- the sheets were dirty. Even when we asked for new, they also were dirty and the team had nothing to do with that.
- they charged fees that we didn't see on booking app.
- The fan was broken.
- no hot water in the shower, even when we asked, again, the team had nothing to do with that.
-The toilet and shower were dirty.
- Prathyusha (1/5): -
- Célia (5/5): - Da localização
- sara (1/5): Nefasto - Sinceramente lo que mas me gustó la ubicacion. Justo en fountainas y cerca de la iglesia mas famosa de panjim! Por donde empiezo..... sabanas asquerosas, les pedimos que nos las cambiaran y nos las cambiaron por unas peores, las almoadas llenas de moho estaban literalmente negras! Para cojer una infeccion. Le pedimos al personal que nos cambiaran las toallas porque estaba sucia como si no se hubiese limpiado y se hubiera dejado ahi del ultimo cliente. Detras del laba manos habia un papel con sangre del ultimo cliente que no se habia retirado. Le pedimos que por favor nos trajeran papel de vater y nos dijeron que no. Igual que champu , gel de manos... en fin cosas basicas para asearnos. Igual que botella de agua ni 1 litro nos facilitaron. Las cortinas negras llenas de porqueria y suciedad como toda la habitacion! Teniamos el desayuno incluido con la habitacion pero sinceramente opte por no comerlo dado las condiciones de la habitacion. La puerta del baño por debajo reventada. El personal al llegar no tenia ni idea de que habiamos reservado y ni se tomaron la molestia de buscar en booking mi reserva. El precio que pague por 2 noches casi 50€ (4.800rs aprox) y os aseguro que por ese precio y menos he encontrado buenas habitaciones en india. La limpieza es algo basico e indispensable!! Por favor no cojais este hotel!! Ademas si con todo eso no era suficiente , los mosquitos te van a devorar y no vas a dormir en toda la noche!! El Aire acondicionado funcionaba cuando le daba la gana.
- Hamsini (1/5): - Nothing There service was really bad . They didn't gave us the room which we booked . Bad have wasted our time over there Waiting for a different room .the service was pathetic . I will report this as a fraud property
- Rajiv Kumar Jha (1/5): Not worth it. - Location was awesome :) full marks for that. the staff was understanding (a bit) only for one instance, where we asked them to change linen, they obliged. Everything was pathetic, unhygienic. They are charging only for location, that's it. the linen, no amenities in washroom, not even a water kettle. not even bottled / mineral water. they claim water is treated, which we didn't verify. linens had stains and were smelly.

NO TV
NO HOT WATER.
NO CLEAN.
- Luis (1/5): Bad - They give me the worst room ever, absolutly diferent to the pictures. And when I complained, he said that if you only needed it to sleep, why are you making problems.
When I decided leave they offer me another room. Not serious.
- Sridhar (3/5): Poor -
- C (3/5): Poor -
- Sinu (5/5): Passable - The location of the property is good. The rooms provided having foul smelling.
The wooden bathroom doors are damaged the wash basin tap was not fixed properly
The waste bin was unclean.
- Vivek (5/5): Passable -
- Kalmeshwar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kartik (8/5): Beautiful location to stay in while doing a fontainhas exploration - Its in a colourful neighberhood. Basic beds Nothing I can recall
- Diana (8/5): Very good -
- Srinivas (3/5): Services - The location The cleanliness, amenities, lack of basic amenities.
The towel handle bar was broken, no toilet paper, they couldn't procure they said.. The bathroom door is rotting..
- Ameya (3/5): Poor - No proper parking space,rooms were dirty..no clean linen..checkout time is 10am but site mentions 11.30..no free breakfast provided although included in package..owner sits at home and staff is cluelss about booking..AC make loud noises..no water bottle or basic soap..AC remote not working..overall disappointing
- Ajay (7/5): Good - The owner of the hotel is very nice
- Keshav (1/5): I never thought this was possible but it happened, the lowest tiers of hotel/ guest house / accommodation ever. - The location and how it looks from the outside. I never saw more variety of pests in my life before, from spiders to ants to bed bugs to roaches to what have you. They have them all!! Rooms are like match boxes, all bedding are stained. If you are planning to take a shower sit on the pot the faucet will not clean your poo but ensure that you are bathed when you get up.
- Laurent (6/5): Great location but cleanness of the property should be reviewed. - Great location right in the center of Fonthainas the latin quarter. Old colonial House. Easy access to everything if you don’t mind walking a bit. First room I was given hadn’t been cleaned and bed sheets filthy. The second room was much better but didn’t trust the freshness of the sheets. Tv was not working in both rooms. Owner should pay more attention to these details as it has a real asset with this house. He didn’t of course offer any discounts(I didn’t ask). One of the cheapest options in town but still.
- Tejas (7/5): Good -
- Madhup (3/5): Poor - Location is excellent No breakfast
- John (1/5): Please change toilet seat, clean the room, change the bedsheet and the blankets. Both were stained. - None Cleanliness
- Akshat (1/5): Bad -
- Suryakant (3/5): Poor - Location is good but room cleanliness is very poor. They are not changing bed covers for almost 1 month. No Towel & Soap. Very Pathetic. No recommendation at all. Room Cleanliness,
- Arpit (3/5): Horrible and uncomfortable - Location of the property Worst service…
Smelly room…
Smelly and dirty linen…
Water tap issue…
Property owner is not responsible enough to host the guest…
- Tanishq2095 (2/5): Very poor -
- Ashwin (1/5): Would never recommend this stay for anyone - Nothing Room size was so small. Only one person can fit in it.
Sheets were unclean. Toiletries weren’t provided, totally unworthy for the price point charged
- Rathinaraj (2/5): Very poor -
- Vasanth (1/5): Bad - I didn't like anything with this property When I checked in , got shocked..
They gave a very bad room bed sheet n pillows with fungus...
They changed after n big argument...
By midnight I reached room , unable to open the door..
Again I have to wait for 20 mins...
In the booking breakfast complimentary was mentioned..
When I tried that , they gave 2 bread slices n cup of tea..
When I asked one more , they didn't gave...
I would not recommend this property...
- Brian (10/5): Affordable and Wonderful - Clean Rooms with good wifi breakfast was good and tasty.
Staff are very friendly always smiling. Tv with Tata Sky connection, you will have to request if you want to watch any specific channels the staff will turn the extra channel on for free within 5-10 minutes max.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional - The team was very polite and friendly. Location just perfect a hop step and jump away from public transportation, restaurants, clubs, pubs, jetty, cruises and Churches and Temples. You would love how many people visit the area and particularly this hotel to click photos of the picturesque streets. Comfy and cozy rooms not too big not too small very tastefully done up. And to know the hotel is a heritage property. The breakfast was ample and quite tasty.
Really loved the place! Made my trip memorable.
- Venkata (10/5): Exceptional -
- Koparde (9/5): Superb - Ok Ok
- Gupte (5/5): Passable -
- Sunil (10/5): Great location and very homely - The location Stay needs a renovation
- Vikas (2/5): Very poor - Staff is good and friendly Photos are different from the actual rooms , no light in lobby or no tv or WiFi rooms are size of big Bathroom
- Samrat (7/5): **** The best at this price range and good for 1 or 2 days stay in Panjim !! - Pros:
- Location: the best in Fontainhas street in Panjim
- Very close to Cruise / dockyard and Casinos in Panjim (walking 8 min)
- Helpful staffs
- Room size normal and does match as it shows in images
- Breakfast is basic but it's not the worst - you can have bread, butter, Veg gravy item, Omlet and Tea (which is not bad as mentioned in some of comments)
- I stayed Ground floor triple bedroom and it has enough space + Air conditioner also works fine (required in warm summer in Panjim)
Cons:
- Rooms could be little more clean
- Washroom and some amenities could be changed
**** The best at this price range and good for 1 or 2 days stay in Panjim Property could be renovated like for below points
- Rooms could be little more clean
- Washroom and some amenities could be changed
- Deepesh (5/5): Stay best , Food waste - Staff ...
Reception person Mr Aatish was too good and cooperative. Breakfast....
Was very very poor ..
Sorry to say ..
It was pathetic ..
Out dated bread was served
Usal was with too much salt
Omelet no salt
We even inform them all about it
Please try to improve
- Michelle (8/5): Very good - Staff were so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was simple, but filling and tasty. Our room had m a small balcony which was nice, to let in some air and the bed was comfortable.
- Noronha (2/5): Very poor - The location was good.
The Cafe atmosphere was great This place breakfast sucked.
It was bland and the water was filled in plastic bottles.The ceiling was too low and dangerous for my 6 feet tall son.
- Kirill (9/5): Superb - Small but cozy room, good bathroom, good location.
- Arvin (9/5): Superb -
- Bhantar (10/5): Nice and comfortable - Excellent stay, nice and comfortable,
Very good for girls group
Ali bhai was very supportive
- Hrishikesh (3/5): Poor - Just that it’s a budget property Except for the room nothing else. No parking, poor service, not reachable service personnel, almost no lobby outside the room, like a chawl system, in fact worse than that. Free breakfast was mentioned which had poor food, no options even they were out of omelettes
- Swati (6/5): Nice, cosy stay if you are looking at your budget and not expecting luxury. - The breakfast was basic as basic could be - just breads that you toast yourself and the butter takes forever to arrive, some omelet and poha. The tea is terrible. 2-3 people running the whole show, but they were cooperative. The rooms are really small but the building is very old and in the heritage space of Panjim. It's a different kind if experience.
I must say the rooms are very clean. The breakfast- didn't like.
The guest house asked for 50 percent advance to confirm the booking and the remaining as soon as we arrived - didn't like that.
We tried booking cars from them but charged higher than the city cabs. Didn't like that.
- Sem (7/5): Good - Very welcoming staff and good location. The triple room was too humid inside.
- Bharne (8/5): Excellent - Great location and ambiance Room size is actually small
- Tania (7/5): Good -
- Margit (9/5): Superb - Great location, friendly staff, cosy room sheets could be whiter and cleaner
- Shraddha (7/5): Good -
- Niveditha (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was limited but loved it Bread and peas curry and eggs were made to order.
Located in Panajis Fontainhas was nice to experience and live around the Portuguese area and walkable distance to the ocean
- Stavros (2/5): Very poor - Great location in the middle of the old portuguese quarter. That about sums up the positives. I’m very familiar with cheap hotels and guesthouses in India and this was an affordable option so my expectations were already low. But they really failed to meet even them. Filthy bedsheets (they changed them 3 times until I settled for a set with fewer old stains than the previous ones). An electrocution hazard by the shower (see pic). Flimsy, noisy ceiling fan. And an epic “laundry service” blunder. And a dishonest, lying “manager”. Avoid at all costs.
- Shiva (6/5): Fair experience - Ambience was good, staff were decent and polite, breakfast was nice No bucket in the bathroom, AC wasn't working and there was water leakage from the AC, No fans
- Grigore (4/5): Disappointing -
- Guillem (7/5): Good - Beautiful building and perfect location in the old town. Very bad quality-to-cost ratio.
- Madhava (1/5): I paid them full had a very bad experience - Nothing Things in the pictures are way different. The sheets weren’t changed. The washroom was dirty and the first thing the property wants is money.. later they don’t care at all
- Mendez (3/5): Poor -
- Luke (9/5): Comfy Bed, pretty historic building, clean place, friendly staff =) - Lovely quaint historical building from the Portuguese times. Actually featured on the tour I took of the old town.
Owner is brilliant and will do whatever he can to help.
Bed was very comfortable, seems to be a medium-firm memory foam type which was ideal for me. As the property is a guest house many of the rooms are connected directly to reception meaning noise can leak as people pass in and out. - this is not really a criticism as it’s simply the nature of small guesthouses in historic buildings however it may be useful to know if you are sensitive.
- Rachana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nair (3/5): Poor -
- John (7/5): Good - Need to update the facilities at property. There is no restaurant, in the Booking.com shows restaurant in the property
- Yogi (4/5): I would still go back and stay IF they improve the all the deficiencies mentioned above. - Staff were gratuitous, smiling and courteous. Clean room. Breakfast average. Shower poor. Air conditioning noisy. TV unavailable because of maintenance somewhere. Towels and bedsheets were stale. Stairs poorly designed.
- Chiranjiv (7/5): Good - It’s location is the best.
We would feel like,we were in between so French-Dutch settlements. The cleaning of the room should be taken care of,coz if that’s done. Everyone would enjoy the stay
- Søren (2/5): Not for us but could be for others. Nice guy in reception. Slept on floor and it smelt like pee. This is what I remember - Location Getting a double bed when booking singles was not a fun night for two big lads being noting bud good friends..
- Marika (3/5): Poor - Bra läge Bedbugs and dirty bed.
Only a small omelett and small dry bread for breakfast
- Anton (8/5): Very good -
- Sinead (6/5): Good location, friendly staff, but unclean sheets! - Great location, very friendly staff. Good Indian breakfast. As other reviews suggested the sheets did not seem clean at all. The staff did change them immediately when we asked but when we got back late only the double bed had been changed and not the single bed in the room. They still didn't feel very clean.... not sure what they are doing with them as its not a hard thing to clean?! It's a shame because the staff are very friendly, location good etc. But if I was there for more than one night I wouldn't have been happy
- Sengutuvan (1/5): Bad -
- Sahil (7/5): Good -
- Pankajtiwari (3/5): Not Worthy - Only location was nice Service and rooms facilities, breakfast services is not upto mark, even food was finish and waiting is very uncomfortable.
- Swapnali (8/5): Very good -
- Sandeep (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sandeep (7/5): Good -
- Paras (6/5): Pleasant - Location Breakfast was not good
Repeat same everyday
- Luis (1/5): Never come here, this place has abolsutely no respect for its customers and should not be on Booking - Absolutely nothing was good. The sheets on the bed were incredibly dirty and stinking.
I had to ask at least 3 times to get something barely decent...
The room was smelling of some strange poison.
The poor guy hired to stay at the reception in the evening did not speak any English.
This place should not be on Booking, it harms its trustfulness.
- Maricela (10/5): Exceptional - location super good, nice room, would like to have pillow cases more clean and new, and towel, the smell is not bad but is not like a clean, is not soap smell on it
- Serena (8/5): Very good -
- Ashik (1/5): Bad - They canceled by booking on arrival They were rude
- Shadab (8/5): Very good -
- Vinayak (5/5): Passable -
- Dimyana (5/5): Scope for Improvement - Good staff behaviour, very cooperative. Very convenient location. Breakfast is a big negative. It must improve considering the room rent including breakfast. At least one bottle of water per day and one glass should be provided in room. Bedsheets and towels should be changed every alternate day as a matter of routine.
- Phukan (1/5): Bad - Room are not clean and very very small, not recommended Staff behaviour and room is not clean at all, don't go by the pictures captured and uploaded
- Vijil (1/5): A very old and dirty house - Nothing The staff took Rs 1000 for arranging a taxi from there to Basilica of BOM. No towel in the room. Toilet door broken and have hole.
