Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is quite charming, nestled in a lovely area that makes exploration easy. While the rooms are basic and can be noisy due to the workshop next door, the outdoor aesthetics are pretty and inviting. The dining could use some improvement as choices were quite limited, but the staff is eager to assist. Overall, it's decent if you're looking for a budget-friendly option.
This boutique hotel is a delightful gem in Old Panaji, with beautiful aesthetics and a charming atmosphere. The rooms are bright and cozy, but a little more upkeep would enhance the overall experience. The service was exceptional, where Raj went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. However, the dining options, while satisfactory, could use some diversity. Overall, it's great value for money considering the location and comfort.
The hotel is nicely situated in the heart of the Fontainhas neighborhood, which has a charming Portuguese vibe. While the service was excellent and the staff was incredibly helpful, the rooms left a bit to be desired in terms of cleanliness and decoration. The dining could also be improved for a better experience. Overall, it's a decent stay, but some areas definitely need attention.
I had a really nice stay at this boutique hotel. The vibe was comfortable and homey, which I loved. The room was quite spacious, and I felt right at home. However, I did find the brightness from the streetlight outside a bit annoying at night. The dining didn't quite live up to my expectations, and I wished for more variety. Overall, it was a good experience, but a few areas could use improvement.
I had a charming stay at this boutique hotel, which looks beautiful inside and out. The staff was incredibly accommodating and always eager to help, which made a big difference in my experience. However, I was disappointed that the room lacked hand towels and bottled water, and the dining options were quite limited. Overall, I found it to be a good value, but a bit lacking in certain amenities.
