We stayed here mid June. The owner and his staff were very friendly, the room was huge and very clean it was beautiful. The breakfast was great getting to try all local food and being told what they are! The owner also helped us with motorbike rental and information on the local area. If near everything and felt safe. if I came back to Panjim I would stay here :)
4 of us stayed here for 4 days - we really had very nice time.
the owner couple is very friendly and pampered us with personal attention.
This is an old house - portuguese architecture - converted to a small guest house - charming wooden furniture, very very high ceiling rooms - hardly see those now any where - rooms were very clean - nice big clean toilets - rooms are Air con. Our room had a big balcony which was very nice - specially in rains -
Location is great too - very close to every thing in centre of Panjim
the property is in a small lane - there is no separate parking for the property - and though there is no parking issues in the lane - guests have to park in the lane at any available place. But not an issue - always found parking lot - safe too .
the staff is friendly with local Goan friendly attitude.
breakfast is served and is basic but good local taste.
very informal atmosphere - nice - will stay here again - nice experience of staying in a charming portuguese house.
Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho a hotel with character. Owners Roy and Sharon are perfect hosts. A Couple with an eye for detail. Their staff are friendly and always accommodating. The room we had was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included and the food catered was for both the vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The hotel is centrally located in Panjim. I would recommend anyone who travels to Panjim-Goa to stay in Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho. Cheers to Roy and team.
We really enjoyed our stay at Hopederia Abrigo de Botelho. The staff and owner were nice and friendly and help us around. We loved the building, the furniture and features of the place and our room was superb. We had the most comfy bed that allowed us the best sleep and the room had a nice balcony with a couple of beautiful old rocking chairs. Unfortunately, we stayed there while the Monsoon was pretty intense so we didn't get to enjoy Goa so much but we will definitely be back if ever in Panjim!
Awesome place to stay.. Roy, the owner is a wonderful person. He attends to every guest personally.. The rooms are great and the service is very good. You will have nothing to complaint if you are looking for a comfortable room with a nice breakfast.. Other meals you can have outside or they can arrange for you.. There are no frills like swimming pool but there is so much else to do in the vicinity that you will not miss the swimming pool.. Everything else is taken care very well.
