Hospedaria Abrigo De Botelho

“One night in Panjim ”

Lovely colonial style with beautiful ornate furnishings floors and ceilings. Informative host and a good breakfast make this a good place to stay for exploring Panjim and the Latin quarter. Modern touches, include WiFi, kettle and flat screen TV in room.

“Good hotel, but beware”

Beautiful hotel, beautiful street, good room. Beware, sympathic but a bit tricky Roy can give you a different kind of room than the one you ordered: he doesn't upgrade but downgrade. We booked for a "premium" room but we got an "executive" one.

“A bed and breakfast in a 200 year old heritage property well located in buzzy Fontainhas”

Stayed there recently when we did a girls trip to Goa! We chose to stay in Fontainhas and discovered this heritage B&B and spent 3 nights here. Rooms are spacious.

Stayed there recently when we did a girls trip to Goa! We chose to stay in Fontainhas and discovered this heritage B&B and spent 3 nights here. Rooms are spacious. We stayed on the 1st floor Well appointed AC rooms and spacious bathroom with all mod cons. TV, tea coffee maker and fridge in room. Breakfast is included in the room rate. It was satisfactory. No complaints. The dining room opens onto the garden so Al fresco breakfast is possible. No other food or drink service is available Fortunately, it’s very well located in Fontainhas and has Restuarants and cafés all within short walking distance. The negatives were: On finding the breakfast coffee had cooled down on the last day, we requested it to be heated, the owner, Roy said it’s past our breakfast time ending 10 am. Not possible. The tea coffee fridge unit in the room had sharp handles which tore my t shirt. Roy was not bothered much. Note: There’s no elevator so take a room on the ground floor if you can’t climb stairs. Otherwise, rooms upstairs would be preferable The best part of choosing this B&B is the location, the spacious rooms in a beautiful heritage property and it’s value for money.

Two main things I rate in accommodation first bed comfort and second wifi speed. Both were not good, the mattress was so hard I was stiff and sore each morning normally I am find with beds but this had been the worst 3 nights of sleep. On the summary for the guest house it states super fast Wifi the down load speed was lucky to get to 5 mbps, Roy said the reason why was they do not pay for wifi and use a public system set up. I went to Panjim Inn to have a meal and their speed was 20 mbps they pay for their wifi, I needed internet for work. The building itself it lovely as is the whole area of the old quarter. I had stayed in Goa for 8 weeks so this was my splurge for my last days in India. Roy was a very informative host, breakfast selection was good too. Solo traveller.
