This guest house is spotlessly clean and very good value for money. Breakfast is basic, served in a lovely little garden at the side of the hotel. The staff are friendly and very obliging.

Only down side is the music bar/restaurant two blocks away, which can be noisy at night especially at the weekend or a locals party. We had room 204, top floor, at the back with a great view of the tree tops from our balcony. No AC, a fan and new hot water cistern. The noise wasn't as bad in this room as being in one at the front.

Nice family run hotel. Basic, but kept clean and if like me all you need is a bed, shower and balcony then its ideal. The family Agostin and his wife along with sons Edwin and Hamilton are very welcoming and helpful. Two young lads Richard and Malcolm serve breakfast and keep the rooms ect clean. Became good friends during our stay. First time in India. Bit of a culture shock and for the couple of days. But soon got over that. Beaches are lovely. Food and drink very cheap. Some of the restaurants we would,nt dream of going to here in the UK but dont judge a book by the cover as they say. The Freedola nearby is a good example. The food there is the best Indian food i,ve had and the staff are great.

As we expected, the hotel was very basic and the room was small with a little balcony overlooking the garden. There was a ceiling fan and the temperature was perfect. The management and staff were very pleasant and helpful and responded quickly to any requests e.g. when our shower head needed fixing. The place was spotless so it was a tad embarassing when we left little trails of sand on the polished tiles! The pillows were unfortunately extremely hard and unyielding and the shower never ran hot but that wasn't a major problem. Breakfast is served in the garden amongst the coconut palms and flowers. Breakfast, (juice, tea and toast) is accompanied by the sound of bird song and the determined efforts of the manager to clear the phlegm from his throat.

As the previous reviewer says the hotel is lovely the staff are really friendly and the place is spotlessly clean but in the evening when the club which is very near starts up the noise reverbalates right through the hotel. it is very difficult to have a quiet evening drink on the balcony it is not the quiet family location described by Jewel in the crown it is more suited for younger people who want to boogie all night - and there is entertainment every night there sometimes until 3 to 4 am or even later. before you book check out the website for the noisy club http://www.fiplees.com/ we to had to move out after five nights of disturbed sleep.
