    have stayed alone. It is a safe place for girls as well to stay. You can choose to stay here if you are alone.

    Community area isnt really big or nice, hostel is great if you need a night inbetween your traveling, but i dont know about a longer stay, not so close to the beach

    AC, staff is nice, clean room and bathroom, location is close to the train station

    The rooms and the washroom area could have been kept better. One of the showers didn't dispense enough water, so you had to make do with what was available. Even though lockers were provided, they weren't the safest place to keep your luggage

    The hostel's location is in a peaceful neighbourhood and easily accessible from the railway station. The staff is approachable and helps you with basic needs, such as towels and soap for a hassle-free stay.

    As a solo travel woman I didnt feel confortable in the dorms. Zero privacy, no bed sheet to cover myself while sleeping. Unbreathable inside the room at night (way too hot even with the fan). People don't stop getting in and out the room at night, the door remains open with the light from the corridor, noise and gathering from strangers at the reception very late at night. I felt more in a waiting room than in a place for sleeping. I felt in a state of alert all the time and couldn't properly sleep. The bathrooms and toilets are not clean. The town itself isn't very nice either welcoming, even a bit dodgy (after sunset).

    If you need to spend a night in Madgaon on a budget its ok. The dormitory is more suitable for local men I think (than women/tourists). The staff was present at reception, I didn't feel unsafe. The people in the room were friendly and polite and respectful (mostly local young men). It's cool to find a place on a budget walking distance from the train station.

    Beds were comfy. Would recommend female travellers to book the female-only dorm as it is an especially male-dominated hostel.

    The bathroom was not that satisfactorily main tend. It's ok for one or two day stay.

    Although the manager was good at his behaviour,the cook served us delicious breakfast, can't tell more about it cause we stayed there for one night only.

    The place is always very noisy especially when you need uninterrupted sleep. The washrooms could have better faucets.

    Good stay since it has a women's dorn for privacy. An accessible pantry for cooking and beverage such as cofee and tea.

    It's written that drinking is not allowed inside the dorms. But still people drink alcohol inside the dorms which I find very uncomfortable. In the two days I've stayed here, I was not comfortable with the smell of alcohol inside the dorms. So I'm reducing 3 stars for that. Also the hygiene of the toilet should be improved. Apart from these two things, I had a good experience here.

    The staff are friendly. Especially Prakas, the guy from Nepal, he is very sweet and helpful. He is always available and his dedication is appreciable. A kitchen facility is available so you can make your own food if needed. Drinking water is available. Dorms are okay. Ac is working properly. Locker facility is provided. They have a terrace to dry your clothes if needed. Parking for two wheelers is available inside the property.
