OLD QUARTER by thehostelcrowd

I had a wonderful stay at the Old Quarter Hostel. I stayed in the private room with balcony on the 2nd floor and couldn't have been happier. The AC worked very well, the balcony and view were amazing, and the shower was top-notch (rainshower with amazing water pressure). The king-sized bed was very comfortable and I slept very well every night. I ordered the Goan breakfast every morning during my stay, which was delicious. The staff was helpful and was able to arrange my transportation days. The hostel is located on a quiet lane in the middle of the picturesque Fontainhas area of Panji.||||I highly recommend this hostel!

I wanted to provide feedback regarding our recent stay. Firstly, thank you for the coffee; however, we would have preferred a complimentary coffee instead of a Bru sachet. Regarding our room, we were disappointed to find it flooded with rainwater, and the toilet was wet. We hope this can be improved. The check-in process was also a concern. Despite arriving before 3 pm and paying an advance for two days, our room was allotted at 2:48 pm. We were asked for the balance payment before checking in, which was inconvenient. Staffs are Brilliant for Quarreling..Owner is ready for Fight if we stand for our Rights

I was told about the hot shower, and it was quite warm.Other than that I am very satisfied. Thank you

The place is a mess. Highly disappointed. I wasn't provided with the very basic things one should provide if they're running a hostel. Not even a BLANKET! I was given a bed sheet instead and when i asked him for one more since it was cold, he refused. The room was dirty, bedsheet too had stains. The lock on the door doesn't work. There's no lock provided for the storage. I dont even want to mention the state if the washroom and the toilet seat which was also broken and is unusable. I fail to understand what services i have even paid for because there were none! And still despite all this you refuse to provide even a partial refund. Unacceptable.

The location was the only positive aspect of stay. Unfortunately, everything else was a severe disappointment. Staff behavior was pathetic and unprofessional, making us feel unwelcome. The room's cleanliness was worst, and the space was even full of standing water at one point. Furthermore, essential amenities were not provided as promised, yet the homestay was quick to charge us for services and items we never received. I strongly recommend against staying here based on this experience..

The facilities were bare minimum. For complementary breakfast they gave literally bread and cheese. Thats it. The staff was not willing to be of assistance and were always distracted and clueless. The only good point is the location and everything is accessible. The vibe of the hostel was dead because there was no option to mingle in the hostel living room. There was no proper sofa which you can sit and read / work. The chairs were wooden and uncomfortable. The dorm rooms had one chair and one table except the beds. It was just to exist and not be comfortable.

The customer service was extremely poor — no one seemed willing to help when we asked for basic things. The room was in bad condition, with no towels or essential items provided. There was also water leakage in the bathroom, which made the stay very uncomfortable. Definitely not worth the money. Needs serious improvement in maintenance and service.

I had been here few years back & it used to be really good and had reviewed this place. Recently was passing by thought of having a coffee, ambience seemed totally changed some cranky lady was in the cafe, sink area was messed up & dirty seems they are no longer interested in running this place.
