Definitely worth the money, located about a 10min walk from the beach, but on the main street so it\'s easy to get to. Guys working the desk are awesome and the rooms are nice and comfortable (and even have a balcony). Centrally located for nightlife, shops and the popular Baga beach.

The place is very good located, the breakfast is awesome, the staff is the best, and definitly we would like to stay there again! Money v/s Quality amazing! Also the owner gives you all the facilities that you would need (trips info, rates, activities, etc) and he is more than happy to talk about India and how it is... Cool place!

Very good location, short walk to beach and the main town, but set aside and very peaceful. Excellent room, very large, bonus having a fridge and all English TV channels.

The stay at Castle House has been great but there were a few hiccups as well. When we reached the first day, there was some confusion and there was no room available for us.. The Hotel staff tried to accommodate us in a nearby guest house, some Sai Kripa or something, and that was Pathetic! We were very tired, and hence didn't have any energy left to go and search for another hotel. The next day onwards we stayed at Castle House, and it was great. the staff is very friendly n extremely helpful!

Would certainly return if in the area. Do suggest staff be friendly with guests but not become too familiar. Thank you!

I'd like to give a rating on the actual hostel but after I arrived in Goa after traveling from Canada for nearly 24 hours I arrived at the hostel only to find out that there was no rooms available. They moved me to a hostel 2 doors down which I didn't have a choice in. I also had to pay the full amount over again even after the deposit on hostel world. I was too tired to argue at that point. It was not comparable as it had no hot water and security was not the best.

Hotel checking was painless, room was clean tv reception was not working. Bar fridge in room was handy to keep water cool. Computer with i at the bar was handy as there was no wifi. We had booked for a few nights before new years eve so rates were more expensive and the place was full. (although it always seemed quiet) Definetly not a party hotel for young people. Mostly was 50+ Russians or Brits so I would avoid if you are considering partying in goa. staff were very helpful when I lost my CC
