Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho

This hotel is an absolute labour of love. The owners, Roy and Sharon are so warm and friendly, they will guide you with lot of information about Goa. A lovely homemade breakfast is provided with each room. Every bit of antique furniture is blended into this magnificent piece of history with modern luxuries like air conditioning and television in every room. Would recommend this place for everyone ❤️

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is charming, well maintained, and comes with all the facilities you’d need. The breakfast is absolutely delicious. we’ve tried many bakeries, but nothing matched the breakfast served here. The owners are a truly sweet couple who personally meet guests during breakfast and make sure you start your morning perfectly. They also guide you about the surroundings, which made our stay even more special. Highly recommended!

We spent 2 nights at this small hotel and really enjoyed our stay. It’s a 200 year old traditional Portuguese style building with beautiful rooms. The owners are really friendly and extremely informative about the surrounding area, where to go, where to eat, etc. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Panjim, you will not be disappointed.

My stay at Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho was truly unforgettable! This charming hotel is both centrally located and incredibly peaceful, offering spotless rooms, a serene atmosphere, and a delightful breakfast in the inner garden. But what truly made my experience special was the exceptional hospitality of the owners, Mr. Roy and his wife. They took care of every detail with such warmth and kindness that I felt completely at home. Leaving was bittersweet, and their thoughtful gesture of walking me to my taxi speaks volumes about their genuine care for their guests. If you’re looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and charming stay in Goa, this is the perfect choice!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is superb, with many attractions within walking distance, making it easy to explore the area without hassle. The owners were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We were also impressed by the food—delicious and plentiful, truly deserving of a 5-star rating. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. From the wonderful hosts to the excellent location, everything was perfect. We highly recommend Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho to anyone looking for a top-notch experience.

After doing extensive research on where to stay in Panjim, I decided on Hospedaria Abrigo De Bothello. Mr Roy and Ms Sharon were amazing hosts, who made me feel warm and welcomed. Roy gave me suggestions on places which I should visit in Goa. He had a map which he shared with me, painstakingly explaining the various different attractions and the best routes. The breakfast spread was wholesome, and they take the effort to explain what is being served to every guess who shows up for breakfast. Since I love old buildings, I loved the vibe here and I must say that the whole place is being maintained well. I enjoyed my room, which had an extensive balcony to sit and relax. Not forgetting the other staff who were also attentive and helpful. The send off was amazing, with Roy and Sharon waving away while I boarded my ride to the airport. (The things you only get at home, hence this is home away from home) Hope to return someday!

My wife, I, and 2 of our friends had a very memorable stay at the Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho mid-December 2022.||* Property: is a well-maintained beautiful heritage building with Goan-Portuguese architecture, with tastefully curated & decorated interiors. Loved the wooden staircase, the decorated ceiling, rustic lamps, vintage furniture, double-height ceilings, large doors & windows, thick walls, and beautifully tiled floors.||* Rooms: we were accommodated in 1 premium room and 1 executive room on the upper floor. Both rooms were fresh, clean and spacious. The premium room was even larger. Both rooms had beautiful furniture and fixtures, as well as modern creature comforts. The executive room had a small balcony. Bathrooms were clean, loved the bathroom-vanities, loved the brown-marbled floors in the bathroom.||* Location: Nestled within the beautifully picturesque Fountainhas / Latin Quarters on a peaceful and quiet inner lane. Very short walking distance from the famous local bakeries and eateries.||* Host, service and breakfast: A wonderful and smooth experience right from enquiry till check-out. Roy, the proprietor and our host, was an absolute pleasure to converse with! Roy and our group got to know each other a bit more over breakfast, and conversed about various topics while we enjoyed a wide variety of Indian and Continental food and beverages from the fresh, delicious and plentiful breakfast spread at the in-house cafeteria. I got to try the delicious Goan Banana buns (sweet puris) that had eluded me for all my previous meals at Panjim, and loved the fresh Goan Poee (bread) too. The service team too was very attentive and helpful – spotted us and approached to help find a car parking spot when we arrived, helped carrying our luggage up and down between the rooms and the car, as well as during breakfast service.||* Parking: is available alongside the foot-paths right outside the hotel building. We always found parking quickly for our car even in the peak December season.||Though we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, but I feel like we didn’t do justice by staying there just one night – will surely love to visit again if Roy’s able to accommodate us!|

Excellent heritage property in Fontainhas. One should must visit. Roy is a great host. He would give you a list of items that you must try surrounding that area, starting from eateries, places to visit etc. Location of the property is excellent, at the heart of the heritage colony. It has ample, non reserved, safe parking space. We stayed there for a few days during the Christmas time and the entire area was decorated beautifully. It was a great stay. Will surely visit again.
