It’s quite at the city center and you can walk to the popular places within Panaji. The staff is good and quite friendly. The hostel vibe was good.

Located in Anjuna, a 11-minute walk from Anjuna Beach, SortBy Stays, Anjuna has accommodations with a fitness center, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

Overall, stay was decent for the price we paid. The best part was that Artjuna cafe was walking distance and Anjuna beach was also a km away. The bed was a little uncomfortable for a good night's sleep and the room had a musty odor throughout since there was no sunlight. Other than that stay was alright. We stayed there for 2 nights.

Located in Anjuna, a few steps from Anjuna Beach, Craft Hostels has air-conditioned rooms and a garden.

I really enjoyed staying at Craft Hostel. Abhi was the perfect host who was always on hand to help out. The room and communal area were very comfortable and clean and the location was perfect, within walking distance to the beach, shops etc but in a quiet area. I would not hesitate to book this hostel on my return to Anjuna or recommend it to my friends.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Large clean rooms, comfy beds and the aircon works amazingly! Great location and near to the baga beach. I have travelled to this hotel multiple times. Good hotel at such low rates. Perfect location, restaurants and bars just outside & the beach was a 5 minutes by bikes.

    We are traveling to goa so many times. Now staying in Raj exotic we feel homely feeling. Thank you so much for planning this big project for tourists. Rooms: Neat-Clean, home like quiet atmosphere with well equipped rooms, kitchen and toilet. Safety: It's a safe colony type area.
