CRAIG

Not great. ☹️

1st time in North Goa but have been coming to the south for many years. Hotel on 1st View looks nice but some small things let it down. We weren’t told by the hotel that you needed to leave you key at reception if you want your room cleaned and giving fresh towels. We only found this out on our 2nd day even although we left the please freshen room sign on the door. Also there was a trail of ants running outside on the veranda and with my son sleeping on a mattress on the floor (although we requested a bed) I wanted rid of them. I bought some hit spray and got rid of them this way. Whilst spraying the room I found some more ants around the light switches at the head of our bed.

Awful Place

This is the dirtiest Hotel have ever stayed in. Couldn't open the windows because of the view, or lack of it. Mold all over the bathroom door and ceiling, it was like being in a cell for 3 days. If you pay more than £10 a night you are being ripped off, just like me.

Well placed hotel for town and beach

Stayed for three weeks on room only basis. The hotel is a five minute walk to the central area and ten minutes from a quieter area of the beach. My room was on the side with a small balcony only suitable for drying clothes. I might have paid extra for a front room with the full balcony as seen in the photo, but the it faced over the noisier road. The small pool area to the rear had a few loungers but couldn't compete with the beach.
The room was a decent size, with seating area within the bedroom. Both the bedroom and connected wetroom were kept immaculately clean on a daily basis. Hot water was always available. All too frequently the floors of these are lethal when wet but this was designed with non slip tiles. Tea/coffee making facilities and minibar were provided. Air conditioning was more difficult to control. The free wifi worked slowly but efficiently allowing me to keep in touch whereas the tv had many channels but none of the news channels were in English.
Staff were polite friendly and helpful from cleaners, security, reception or management.
I only used the restaurant twice - going into town to find vegetarian food and occupy the evenings. On each occasion service was efficient, food freshly cooked and quite spicy!
I enjoyed my stay and would happily return if i go back to Calangute.

What you see is not what you get

Guys you need to ensure what you show online and what you give to customers are same. When looking at pictures and reviews it was supposed to be an excellent room, but what was given was small that the room would finish before it would start. We had to fight with management to fix up the issue and they ended up upgrading the room after paying extra on top of already expensive booked room that to in off season.

I would think twice before booking this hotel again as even a late checkout by 2 hours was charged for more that 2 days stay. This is just ridiculous as the room was going to stay empty till evening. There was not point in arguing to anyone as no one was ready to listen or go out of way to help you.

The only 2 people we have appreciated during the stay were the person who used to take our lunch order and come to room to drop and pick up and door man outside the hotel. Rest the accommodation looks dated and serious uplift.

If I calculate the amount I spent on this accommodation including all the extras charged, it would have been cheaper to stay in Novotel and get excellent service with memorable stay. Holiday is time to come and relax not go through issues.

Long weekend holiday

Went for some lone time over long weekend. Even though the place is comparatively slightly overpriced (wrt the room size, ambience & balcony) the service was very good. Especially the kitchen& room service departments. Ratul from kitchen was exceptionally great. The food was absolutely yummm!!!!
We don't prefer hotel room service dinners as we spend our time on shacks at night but Ratul and his men from the kitchen brought us back to hotel for dinner, breakfast and cocktails each and every day.
Well done!!!

Totally disappointing..

Pathetic service even after charging 4.5 k for each room.. first they deny complimentary breakfast even after showing them the hotels.com mail which had clearly written the same. later on we had to call hotels.com and then they agreed. no bottled water supplied to room. I have never seen such a service whether in India or abroad. it seemed like asking for anything made the hotel staff too arrogant.. one of my friends got sick.. so we asked if the breakfast could be delivered to the room. but the staff bluntly refused to do so and directed me to take the food upstairs. it was written on your site that it had WiFi. but no such service was accessible even after informing the authorities . AC was not working in one of the rooms. Overall the hotel gave us a feeling that they are doing pity on us that too for free. I want this hotel to be removed from your website so that other people doesn't get duped like this in future.

However I was disappointed with the new menu, no real structure. Also they need to remove from the website about WiFi in rooms as this does not exist and many a traveller are reliant on this and is false advertising.

Room which we stayed was very neat and my wife liked it a lot. Neatly maintained and staff also was very helpful. They helped in arranging the cab to/fro to Airport.

Walkable distance to calangunte beach and also to Baga. Good area to stay.

Fort is 8km from the hotel. Hotel we stayed falls under North goa. We can cover North Goa in half a day. Better to hire a bike and cover off North goa. South goa is large compared North goa and it take one full day to cover. Coach tour or Tourist vehicle will help.

Cab driver charged us 1000 from Airport to hotel. We found food is a bit expensive. Panjim Shopping, Old Goa(only Church) and Fort , cab driver charged us 1800.

Great Stay

We stayed at this hotel recently on our honeymoon. Best part? This hotel is placed at a comfortable distance from the main attractions of Goa, like beaches (Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Coco etc), Fort Aguada, main market areas and eating joints. Anywhere you wanna go in North Goa, you can reach within 20-30 min. Hotel service is fine too. The accomodation we took (Deluxe Suite) was very spacious and had two rooms with balconies (just to stand) and a big bathroom with bathtub. Both the rooms had TV and AC. Bedroom has a well lit closet space. Hot and cold water is available 24*7. Everything was clean and well arranged when we reached and the staff was courteous and polite. This hotel also provides in-room food service from their in-house restraunt. The biryani was their best preperation. Please avoid the full English Breakfast. Also, the restraunt opens at around 9, so if you are an early breakfast person, keep something handy in fridge like a cold sandwitch or something. You won't get anything from the restraunt before 9. The hotel is also fine from safety point of view. Overall, our experience was nice.

We did book Calangute Grande through Expedia. Upon arrival, My friend and I thought it was kind of small and did not appear to be as good as the reviews as read. However, we quickly changed our perception - the hotel staffs, I mean everybody - were nice and warm in their approach. We really did not have anything to complain about. Would definitely tell and refer friends to this hotel.

Plus, Calangute Grande is few meters away from Calangute, Baga and Anjuna beaches. So it is quiet and serene from all the crowds and hubbubs of the shops and thus enjoyed our walks to and from the beaches.

There is noting found much negative for this hotel (Except bathroom needs to be made bit well neat and tidy).

The hotel looked very compact inside constructed over a small patch of land with absolutely no ventilation in the corridors. The swimming pool was not that good, should have maintained properly.

The rooms were clean, AC works nicely, there is not balcony in the Deluxe rooms (it is only in the executive rooms), bathroom is small but ok (watch our for the towel storage space).

Very nice place to stay, close to major beaches.

I had an awesome experience in Goa. the hotel is close to almost every place i wanted to visit. the staff at the hotel is very helpful. they called a nearby bike rental guy when i told them that i needed one. the hotel has all the facilities that i could think of, like wifi, swimming pool, etc. rooms were squeaky clean with fresh clean bedsheets and pillows when i checked in. the bed is very very comfortable, and you will need it to be just that after spending the entire day at the beautiful beaches of north goa. overall, I highly recommend this place.
