The private room at this hostel was very comfortable and big. It even included a private terrace which was a nice surprise. The place has a very good coffee area, as this is part of the business. The hostel is very well located in a beautiful neighborhood and you can easily reach most interesting points by walking.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, nearby a bunch of cafes and other fun places. John and his family were very kind and helpful, helped sort us a taxi from the airport and allowed us to check in quite late.

    I stopped here for one night whilst travelling from south to north Goa. It was the perfect layover. You have the whole apartment which is clean and functional (with a washing machine and kitchen!) so for me it was great location as it was close to the highway. The owner let me check in early and was very attentive. There isn’t much to do in the area which didn’t bother me as I was there to rest, but if you want to go out, it’s more of a residential place.

    This is a lovely homestay in a quiet residential neighbourhood (so Serene indeed) but also convenient for central Panaji. The room is comfortable and spacious. Having a full size fridge/freezer and kettle is great. What really makes it is the host family who are so welcoming and helpful. Full of advice and happy to help organise things. There's a very regular and cheap bus from the stop nearby straight into town and the bus station or you can take cheap taxis.

    Classy revamp carefully and tastefully executed. Staff always on hand but not intrusive. I extended my stay simply to enjoy the room and the great location. Felt safe and valued as a guest. Certainly a stand out and well worth checking in.

    The property is neatly maintained. It's definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed at. Food was great too. Loved it. Interiors are beautiful. Location is close to the bus stand is an added advantage.
