Our first night we stayed at another place in a cute beach hut but we didn't sleep at all due to the straw placed on top of wood "bed"! The next day the first thing we did was walk over to Cuba and ask to see a room. We sat on the bed and it was so soft and the... More

Stayed here in January with a group of five friends and everyone including myself thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were warm and welcoming on our arrival and saw to our every need during our 10 day stay. The rooms, although basic were in our case very comfortable and clean. There were a few power cuts while we were there but... More

I booked 7 rooms for 5 nights to celebrate my 50 birthday. The rooms were clean with mosqueto nets, 24/7 hot water, fan and some rooms with Air Con. Sukanti, Anil and their team were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. They arranged my birthday cake which was excellent. The food in the hotel was really good. We felt so... More

The rooms here are basic. There is a bed, maybe a wardrobe or table, an excellent wet room and that's it! It's cheap but comfortable and in the case of my visit, very clean. The staff are outstanding - very polite and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and even our washing was cleaned to a high... More

We prebooked a double room with air conditioning for six nights, but we ended up in something worse than a prison cell. This was room number 101 (and I guess rooms 201 and 301 are the same). The room was way too small and no space to leave our luggage. The air conditioning was terribly noisy. We were very disappointed... More

Going back to a hotel you stayed at several years ago is not always a good idea...but in this case it was a pleasant experience. Rooms are still very basic and the tiny wardrobe has vanished but the friendly staff and excellent food make up for the inconvenience. Minor problems are the fact that the place is full of Russian...

Great guest house, close to beach, Mandrem itself is quite and laid back, but you can walk along the beach to Arambol (about 30 mins) and taxi back about 200 ruppes, loads for hippes and bars etc.

The rooms were so-so and only cleaned when I asked. The food was crap. I liked the staff (who work long hours) but there's no one there who's really overseeing things, so it's poorly maintained. I'd recommend a place right on the beach instead -- the view would make up for any faults of the hotel.

I stayed her for 3 days in January 2012. The rooms are basic but clean, the A/C was efficient and the TV was small but OK for the size of the room. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the beach. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The best feature of this hotel was the restaurant, probably... More
