This hotel is a haven of tranquillity in the hustle and bustle of candolim and calangute. We were upgraded to the raj suite which was stunning and staff were so friendly it felt like a home from home. We also ate at the hotel twice in the evening as it was excellent quality.

Weekend getaway

I had an amazing weekend in Goa thanks to Marbella Guest House team - the accommodation is beautiful and well looked after. I can tell that the whole team at the guest house truly care about taking care of the property and guests. Nothing was too much trouble - from the moment I arrived I felt like home. My standard room was spotless, beautifully designed, clean and quiet. The team gave me tips for sightseeing and eating out and even offered to drop me off at a nearby beach although it’s a pleasant 10 minute walk away. They also arranged a massage appointment for me and the therapist was very professional. It felt wonderful to have a massage at the guest house after a full day of sightseeing in old Goa, which was also recommended by the team. Food was delicious and the menu had a lot of options. Truly wonderful stay. Hope to be back soon.

Great for Couples!

We had a fantastic stay in Candolim at Marbella. The location is secluded enough to be away from the noise, but also very close to the beach. The room was lovely and we had several meals at the guest house, all of which were great. I’d like to mention Mukti in particular, who was always incredibly friendly and kind. Very much recommend staying here, we will return!

Marbella guest house is a wonderful place to stay. it's in a fabulous location at the end of a quiet lane yet only a short walk to the beach, bars and restaurants.
The rooms are all individual, large, clean and airy and with unique touches such as beautifully tiled bathrooms and antique furniture.
There is a restaurant on site serving delicious food whenever you want it and the staff are great, freindly and welcoming. We can't wait to return.

Stayed at Marbella Guest House for 4 days over the November period. A lovely quiet place at the end of the street, yet only short 10 minute walk to Sinquerim beach, Fort Aguada and to Main Street and restaurants. Room was very clean, well equipped and air conditioned. Staff were all friendly and had several meals at the guest house that were all good and reasonably priced. A great place to stay if you want to get away from the hussle & bustle of Candolim and Calangute and are looking for a more boutique stay, with Portuguese style. Will definitely be back here again.

Beautiful old house with fantastic service

This is a beautiful hotel in a secluded spot. The service and food were outstanding, and it was overall a very relaxed place. The room was beautiful, old hardwoods and tiles with good amenities (mosquito net, aircon, fan) and a nice bathroom. It is an old building so sound did travel a little from other rooms, but we were very happy overall with our stay.

The serenity, the feeling of being in a private home. The bird life and the way staff gave one the feeling that nothing was too much trouble and quietly went about making you feel at home. This property is ideal for guests who are wanting seclusion and quiet. Meals are first class and cooked freshly at any time. Some of the best meals had in Goa.

A little haven in Candolim

Marbella Guest House is a little away from the hustle and bustle of the main street in Sinquerim so we had a very peaceful stay. The room was beautiful and we particularly enjoyed the fresh breakfast in the courtyard every morning.

Marbella is a beautiful, elegant haven above Candolim beach, not far from Fort Aguada. The guest house rambles over several floors of a delightful colonial-era building, within grounds nesting in the hill leading up to Fort Aguada.

The entire house is fitted out with delightful original furniture, & is centred around an inner room with tables and chairs and a courtyard for meals or relaxing.

I was travelling with my son and had originally booked one of the smaller rooms, and then Sajjan suggested via whatsapp that I take the penthouse instead. What a find that was! The penthouse consists of a large bedroom, an even larger sitting room (in which one of the sofas was converted to a bed for my son), a small dining area, a bathroom and an enormous terrace. All for about half the cost of one of the chain hotels we’d been looking at (which would have given us a single 25m2 room with twin beds).

Marbella has a kitchen which provides, at extra cost, breakfast, lunch and dinner, with plenty of choice for every palate. The staff make everything from scratch; the quality is high and the taste is exceptional.

Marbella is about a 500m walk to the Candolim beach. While the first beach huts are about 300m along, the best and most popular of them start about 1km along.

We stayed at Marbella for 6 nights, and I can’t and I can’t speak highly enough of it. Its quality of presentation and overall friendliness was just magnificent.

What a lovely colonial style guest house! We loved our stay at Marbella last month. Away from the hustle of Candolim, yet very accessible to it, this beautiful guest house is perfect if you like olden charm and homely hospitality. The staff is very accommodating, friendly, and efficient. The room we were given was big and had a beautiful view into their gorgeous garden. The food is made to order and retains Goan flavours wherever claimed.
All in all it’s a great place to stay if you’re visiting Candolim.

Awesome place

Being an English girl, working in Mumbai, quite often a getaway break to a local retreat without all the hustle and bustle in definitely on the cards. After extensive googling, I stumbled across the Marbella guest house which appeared to be a typical Goan retreat, close to a beach. All I can say is wow - this place does not disappoint.
Sajjan, the manager is one of the most attentive and efficient managers I’ve experienced in India
As for the guest house, it’s simply magical. I stayed in the penthouse (at a very reasonable cost). It’s quite simply, beautiful. The decor is stunning, the bed is comfy and it’s very clean. The location is sublime. Quite often, we only use hotels to sleep or to swim, but as this guest house was so charming, I decided to hang out for a while and enjoy copious cups of tea whilst sitting on the terrace and enjoying the tranquility of it all.
Eating at the guest house is a must. Their menu is spot on and their breakfasts are perfect. I took the opportunity to try their home made Goan curry (as recommended by a trip advisor traveller) and I can honestly say, it’s the best curry I’ve ever eaten. Having enquired into the Goan style of cooking, the chef offered to show me the curry was cooked including all the step by step preparation. This was such an awesome experience.
So.. in summary.... an 11/10 for me. 10/10 doesn’t do it justice. Service, location, food, room, ambience, attention to details... spot on. Thank you Marbella. You’ve nailed it.

Our stay at Marbella House left us with extremely mixed emotions. While the staff and food were exceptional, there were some fundamental flaws. Upon arrival, we were informed that the room we had booked had leaked during a rainy night. We were upgraded and found no issue at this point. It was not until that after 2 nights we were moved into the room we booked that our concerns started. Predictably it rained again, the room had not been repaired it had simply “dried out” and was not fit for purpose - so we were awoken at 1am with the rain leaking at multiple entry points, soaking our bed leaving us with cold and wet sheets, a slippery and dangerous tile floor and ruined technological products and personal possessions. Our wet bed caused a sleepless and distressed night, not only ruining our night but also the following days. The mumbled apology at the time, and being moved into the 3rd room of our stay did not meet expectations on how the situation could have been resolved. Upon check out, the only compensation we were offered was a removal of a 10% service charge - we werent made aware of - for paying on card. However we can not fault the front of house and kitchen staff and the incredible food they produced which was the saving grace of this potentially amazing yet extremely disappointing stay at Marbella.

Our Indian DREAM

Truly the perfect stay. 10/10.

Vibe: authentic Indian and so beautiful. An old renovated house with only 6 rooms. Dreamy and gorgeous.

Location: the best of both worlds. Super close to all the action in Candolim (bars, shops, restaurants) and you can WALK to the beach and Fort Aguate. The hotel itself is on a charming dead end street so the stat itself is quiet and private.

Staff: so friendly! Housekeeper was great, 24/7 staff, on-site chef who makes delicious, fresh food. Food is an extra cost but is extremely affordable.

Cost: so reasonable especially for how excellent it is. We had the “penthouse” that included a private terrace, bathroom, bedroom, dining room, and HUGE living room and it was about $40USD per night.

I would recommend this place to anyone and am already dying to go back!! Sheer perfection.

Indian beach holiday

We spent 5 nights here and after a variety of different accommodations in India this proved to be an oasis of calm! Well run by charming staff. Especially impressed by the guys cooking and serving our meals, which were delicious and all cooked to order. The coffee was good too! We had booked the garden room but on arrival the penthouse was available and we were offered that at a discount so took up the offer. It was absolutely worth the money. Amazing room with lovely balcony, it felt like you were sitting out in the jungle. The beach is an easy 5 -10 min walk and there are plenty of places to eat and drink close by. Would recommend without hesitation.

Surrounded by nature with peacocks in the backyard, old mango & jackfruit trees, the charming & cordial team of Sajjan, Moti, Ashuk & Nundu will do their best to treat you just like being home without being home. I trjly loved my stay of ten days there & give it 5*s!
