    Great staff - a friendly and helpful bunch of ladies running coffee shop and check in. One girl kindly booked a taxi for me when leaving ( I had no data on phone to do myself). Good coffee shop with tasty sandwich and cake. Lovely big room and balcony. Superb location.

    Shower dripped loudly all night. Staff didn't take notice of us when we came to check in.

    Bed was comfortable, room decor was lovely, and a cafe was attached. Quiet neighborhood with lots of cute cafes. Cute cat!

    Repair the broken fittings in the bathroom please.. also the cafe closes at 8 sharp. Maybe u could be a little more flexible . If guests want to have a tea or coffee they should be able to..

    I came here in 2016. Was expecting the same experience.. but it was sadly not upto par. The bathroom in the ac dorm needs a lot of repairing.. the shower was broken, the toilet seat was broken . Something should be done to address the mosquito issue.

    More washroom availability especially when shared with the guys’ dorm…

    This is a great place for digital nomads. It attaches to Bombay Coffee Roasters, so I there is a great space to have delicious coffee and snacks while working digitally.

    1. The female dorm was dark, insufficient light and without any ventilation or a window 2. The toilet was not clean and had no basic essentials like a hand wash, toilet paper, etc 3. There is no network inside the female dorm, the WiFi given by them does not work there..

    The cafe and sitting area on the first floor was really good

    The 4-room women's dorm bedroom lacked hooks and would have benefited from bed curtains, bed shelves, individual bed lights. The bathroom looked very old, no hooks, no shelf, no toilet paper, nowhere to hang clean clothes, the mirror light didn't work. There's nowhere to leave your luggage before or after check in / check out. The staff sold freshly squeezed apple juice but wouldn't sell me an apple! They had a "computer says no" attitude.

    Great location in a safe, stylish neighbourhood. You can walk alone to various cafes, restaurants and the river/riverside park

    Breakfast was ridiculous, bathroom were not enough for the number of people staying in the hotel and not clean at all... There is no hostel vibe going on, no proper comfortable common space to chill.

    The location is amazing, room is bright and rather neat, all for a good price.

    Well people were tryung to be very kind and welcoming but due to the language barrier it was all pretty much in vain because... i could not express my needs properly.

    The location was very conveniently near the bus stop.

    Dorm washroom was smelly and wet. There were several cockroaches in the dorm. Washroom needs an exhaust fan and cleanliness needs to be improved. The breakfast can either be cut or improved upon, e.g. including real coffee instead of instant coffee.

    Great location and nice staff.

    The dormitory which I was using was not cleaned properly by the house keeping staff that was shown to the receptionist. The door is not closing softly it bangs , needs some maintenance. The side pockets were not cleaned by the housekeeping staff. This is not a complaint but a list for improvement.

    Ambience but it slowly going from bad to worse. As the a/c is not cooling in the rooms as well as the cafeteria too both top and down.

    I was surprised that a hostel could be quiet. We spend only one night. But everthing was in walking distance. Quater itself has many caffees and restaurants. So this is an ideal place for half the price of any other accommodation in that area.

    On two occasions we noticed baby cockroaches running along the dining tables. Overall cleanliness is not upto the mark.

    I liked that the fact that the owner Ryan made adjustment to my breakfast as I informed him about allergies. The front office staff too were helpful, efficient and polite.

    There was not a single mirror provided in any room. One room did not have a fan and other one was at a fixed extremely slow speed. The food items were very limited in the cafe. Half of the manu written was not available.

    The location is quite nice, its in the heart of Panjim. The rooms were clean. The staff was very kind and well mannered.
