Property Description

If you're travelling through Goa, stop by at Panjim!

Panjim is totally different from the rest of Goa, leave alone India. Get a taste of the local Goan culture at our backpackers hostel located in the middle of the Portuguese heritage zone. Let us show you why the Portuguese stayed here 450 years (and why they threw a tantrum when they had to leave).

There are serveral room types available for you to choose from: Deluxe double room, 4 bed female dormitory rooms, 4 bed mixed dormitory room and so on.

Things to do
- explore India's smallest capital city on a bicycle
- visit the World Heritage Churches of Old Goa
- take a boat ride through the Salim Ali bird sanctuary
- get your game on at a boat casino
- experience a wide range of affordable fine dining

Old Quarter consists of 2 building located within the Portuguese heritage zone. The main building hosts the reception, cafe, dorms and deluxe rooms. The rest of our rooms are located 250m away from the main building in a 200 year old house that is equipped with wi-fi, hot water and a common room.

Please note that December 22nd - Jan 2nd is the busiest time in the year due to many parties and events happening in the area (including a Christmas dinner and NYE party organised by the hostel). We will be collecting payments in advance for bookings in this period

Perfect location and lovely staff however it lacks any kind of atmosphere. Would recommend for a group or couples however would be very difficult for solo travellers as no activities or socialising. It’s situated in a coffee shop so hard to tell who is just there for a quiet cup of coffee and who is travelling. When we arrived the place has just been sprayed/painted with cockroach repellent so was difficult to sleep due to the fumes but was lovely and clean and quiet the second night.

Was fine but overall for a quick stay, dorm was very basic and washroom poorly maintained. No curtains on the beds. It’s effectively a hostel in a coffee shop, absolutely zero atmosphere and no social vibe. The staff weren’t particularly friendly or informative. There’s better hostels located very close by

This is a hostel nestled inside a cafe. There are no private/hostel-only spaces, so you'll have to share the cafe with any cafe guests (including screaming children, and there were many). They didn't offer any blankets for the dorms and I had to ask many times just to get a blanket. The AC remote was lost. Staff were generally not caring and seemed annoyed whenever guests asked questions. The free breakfast was sad (eggs served cold, chai made with tea bags). I wouldn't stay again.
