The hotel is well situated and the reception friendly and helpful, included breakfast is pretty good - nice Indian breakfast with British style also available. The room I had was tired and so felt grimy because of the stains etc. For the price I think there are nicer places to stay.
The Vivanta Goa Panaji is an excellent hotel. My wife and I travelled from the US to visit in Goa. The hotel has an excellent location near the Campal Gardens and is a very walkable location. We walked to Fontainhas and into the city area several times. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. The hotel provided plenty of bottled water, more than we could use. The pool area on the rooftop is a great place to cool off and relax after touring, and the food/drink selections and service were very good. Our booking included the breakfast buffet, which I HIGHLY recommend. There was a very large selection of food, including western /continental, Chinese and Indian. There must be over 30 things to choose from, including whatever type of eggs you could think of, waffles, pancakes, dosas, etc. The quality was excellent, the hot food was hot and cold food was cold. We also ate at the hotel at least one evening for the buffet. It was also extremely extensive and high quality and a very reasonable price. The staff was amazing and the servers truly took an interest in making sure we were happy. They made suggestions for what to try, and if you let them know you are an adventurous eater, they will help you to experience something new and exciting to taste.
The hotel is part of the Taj group, and their attention to quality and service is apparent. We will definitely stay at the Vivanta the next time we are in Goa.
All in all it was nice. We first got to know the place by having breakfast at the café and really enjoyed the food there, so that why we decided to book two nights at the hotel. Food is really good and the pool was nice, although it was closed one out of the two days we stayed there. The room was spacious and clean enough. The minus points were the lack of AC (there is a fan on the ceiling but no proper AC) and also the way we got almost thrown out of the room. On trip.com it says the check out is supposed to be between 10:30 and 11:30, and at 09:45 somebody from the hotel already came knocking at our door! We were just packing our last items and told them we thought we still had some time, to what he answered the check out is at 10:00… he then stayed in front of the room until we were ready to leave! That did not feel good. Also the internet was very weak in our cottage in the back garden. Two problems that are easily solvable though. The hotel could make sure to change the check out time on trip. Com and get an extra router for the rooms in the back.
Отель нам понравился! Все супер. Есть конечно к чему придраться:)( для меня это не хрустящее пастельное бельё) а так все норм завтраки а-ля шведский стол (а-ля это перекус на пару часов вам хватит, если вы мужик) не далеко от пляжа чистенько!
Но вот омрачили поездку создатели этого приложения из за войны с Ираном у нас отменили вылеты из Шарджи и нам пришлось купить другие билеты. Просили их поменять даты они да поменяем и свяжемся с отелем. Потом пришел отказ но в процессе переговоров я связывался с отелем они говорили, что с ними из трип кома ни кто не связывался, так что имейте ввиду при бронировании вам на встречу триповцы не пойдут! А отель клёвый!
Lovely place to stay as a solo traveller. Hotel room was cosy and staff were fantastic and friendly food also good in the restaurant. A few minutes to the beach with friendly crowd. Will definitely return. Thank you for having me and welcoming me!
