    I am so sorry I could not name the two girls who are there at reception. Both of them are lovely. Help you a lot with local guidance, communicate with you about your stay. They make sure you feel at home.

    Fantastic hostel in the heart of Fontainhas. Stayed for a week here as it’s close to everything in Panjim. Has a true backpacker vibe, and the staff are amazing. Special thanks to them for sorting a taxi out for me. It also has nice common area...
