Novotel Hotels in Calangute

I’ve stayed at too ***y Marriotts to count as a lifetime platinum member, and this is without question one of the best! From check-in to check-out, the facilities and staff exceeded all expectation — especially due to the grossly exaggerated negative reviews we had seen before arriving. The facilities are much more representative of a full-service Marriott than what one would experience in US-based Fairfield Marriotts. The staff were kind, gracious, and exceedingly helpful with all our needs. Vinaya checked us in and offered recommendations throughout our stay. Rohit kept our room in pristine condition. Jogender and Sree were the faces of the unbelievable chef and kitchen staff. Subhag, Kalpesh, Rasna and the entire serving team were top-notch. The security, pool, and cleaning staff were a joy to interact with throughout the day. I would highly recommend if you are looking to stay at a little piece of paradise within the paradise that is Goa!

Very nice Hotel in Calangute. Rooms are small but clean and Modern. The white and Yellow theme goes very well. Basic amenities pocket tea/coffee, soaps, and kettles are provided. Breakfast is very good and unlimited has options in both veg and nonveg. There is also a live counter where we can order egg dishes, sausages etc. The swimming pool and pool area are good and well clean. There is a multi-purpose room where indoor games and library books are placed. The hotel staff is friendly and polite particularly Azhar from the restaurant section who served our request was very polite and helpful. He was full of energy, and enthusiasm from Goa to serve all customers. I will highly recommend this hotel if staying near Calangute beach. The hotel is just behind MacD. The distance between the beach and the Hotel is approx 1km.

The room is not very big, but it is clean and warm, with a small balcony. I lived there on the New Year's Day, so it is too expensive. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the beach. The beach is beautiful, but there is a lot of rubbish. Many of the people staying there are the Europeans and Americans. The breakfast is not rich, but it is ok.

The hotel is very new, the hardware facilities are very good, the service is very good, there is a welcome juice when you go to check-in. But the location is a bit off, it takes ten minutes to walk to the beach, and the airport comes to the taxi for an hour and a half. Hotel catering is mainly for Indians, and there is basically no international taste. There are so many restaurants around, you can eat steaks in all tastes, the price is not expensive, and the taxes are few.

The check in was a little bit chaotic- but this was mainly down to other customers not respecting others and was being quiet rude and forceful with their de***ds to the staff. However, they were kinda and calm to everyone which was nice. Additionally, the staff in the restaurants were very helpful and friendly and the food was nice. The bedroom is basic but very clean and has everything you need in it.

CAUTION: Please do not fall for the rosy images posted at the Resort website. Type of Room Booked: Standard Per night charge: Rs. 5646/- (An they had mention this was 30% discount. Absolutely NOT WORTH IT!! A TOTAL RIP-OFF!!) 1) The misery begins with the delayed check-in. Completely un-organized. The booking was done a month in advance and yet there was an our and half delay in check-in. I was given a 15 min free foot message as co****sation which brings me to the next misery. 2) The message area is un-maintained and un-clean. How can you relax when there is dirt and stained cushions at the place that you are going for a message? 2) The entire resort it too much cluttered with all the rooms close by. There is no breathing space inside. It's like the ***agement just wanted to build as ***y rooms as possible and earn more money. No respect for privacy at all. 3) The room given to me was right in front of swimming pool. As soon as you step out there is water and completely wet floor. When you go in, the room entrance is covered with mud stains from your feet or footwear. 4) The room was like a prison with four walls and no windows. The only opening was the entrance to the room which was also weird. It was transparent glass doors and as soon as you are inside, you have to put the curtains. There is no sunlight coming in. No air coming in. It's like a dungeon where you rot until eternity. 5) The room entrance is a ”slap on the cheek” to the architect who designed it. Completely transparent glass entrance - No respect for privacy. You have to close the curtains once inside. When you are out of the room and lock the entrance you cannot close the curtains and your room is completely visible to the outside world. (You can check the pictures). 6) There is no privacy. You cannot keep the door or the curtain open as the swimming pool is right in front of the door. If you keep the curtain open or the door open, the people in the pool may think you are creep trying to peep on them AND even you are concerned about your privacy if someone from outside is trying to peep inside. The curtain is dirty and stinky with stains. You will think 10 times before touching the curtain. 7) The floor is completely dirty as it is very old. The tiles have turned yellowish. The furnitures are old and stinky. The mini fridge is again old and stinky and for namesake. The blue pillows on the bed that you see on the bed in the photos are very old and you may not want to sleep on them. 8) The AC is old and un-maintained with an OLD AC stink coming out of it when you switch it on. 9) The toilet is an architectural marvel (again a ”slap on the cheek” to the architect) with a pillar right at its center. If you want to access the wash basin you should go around the pillar. And you should be carefull as there is a glass partition. With so much less space they have put a glass partition so that the guest may acccidentally break it! 10) There is

I am glad I've changed my decision to stay at some random hotel and to stay at the ”Piggy Hostel”, i had a four night stay and was never bored of the environment there. Have to mention about the hospitality showcased by Neha, Sangam, Philip, Abheer and Chef Ankita. The staff over there are so friendly and have helped me throughout the stay to explore Goa. You also get to meet new people in dormitory which is cleanly maintained and sanitised before your stay. Even the private rooms are of affordable rates. But if travelling solo, the dormitory is the place to be. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Calangute! PS: the beaches are nearby!
