Poor service and filthy!

The property is tired and in poor condition. The rooms were filthy, stained towels and used pillows. There was no WiFi available. As a property belonging to TATA group it is a shame and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Fake hotel

Booked for 6 days but couldn't even stay for 2 days. No wi fi at all, misquotes in the room. Room was dirty. So me and my wife were staying, I had booked this hotel through orbitz and while check in they charged us about 20$ per night (extra person Charge) for staying 2 person, however the room was based on two person. Sounds like joke to me. However, some hotels staffs behaved nice tho. Ok customer service-Pros

Too far away from touristy spots

Hotel is modern, small but cosy swimming pool, delicious food served, room was spacious and high-tech. The neighborhood has nothing at all to offer. It is a quiet area far away from everything in Goa.

Ok

As we reached the hotel by 2:30 after 10 hrs drive ... We got to know that the rooms r not when even after 2 hrs of the check out time ... And one of their manager's said so rudely give us 15 mins at least as if we were before time ... The staff behaviour was pathetic We had booked 3 rooms which have terrace but we're told that the rooms r full so u will not get those rooms... The breakfast time was 7:30 to 10:30 but when we reached at 8 the person said it will take 15 mins more .., no time management ... The breakfast was also just ok

Great hotel - distant location

We had a great two night stay at this hotel. Staff were welcoming and polite and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and generally clean. Location is a little out of the way. You can get cabs but its not close to the main tourist attraction. We didn't try the closest beach so can't comment but there didnt seem to be much life outside... Again we didn't really venture out so can't really say. The restaurant at the hotel is good. Overall good stay.

Sad Hospitality, Great Rooms but bad location.

Booked it on basis of past experience (as were one of the earliest guests to hotel last year) but sadly disappointed as room promised was not available rather charged extra to give room with tub, inspite of fact that we needed it for mere 1 night stay only. No toiletries were available, had to ask for each thing separately. Even warm water was made available on request (However our valet-guy was extremely courteous). Manager was rude on phone, while giving feedback. In morning, warm water was not made available inspite of request. It was my wife's Birthday, which got ruined as she got upset with the attitude of senior staff. Location of hotel isn't good, with no good spot nearby, we went knowing same as our past experience was good, however were badly disappointed.
