Reviews of The White Balcao Hostel

Jane
The rooms at The White Balcao are amazing! They have a balcony where you can enjoy the beautiful view while sipping your morning coffee. The bed linen is so cozy and comfortable, making it hard to get out of bed in the morning. As a guest who values relaxation and comfort, I absolutely loved it!
If I had to pick a downside, I would say that I personally found the lighting in the room a little dim. But hey, that's just my preference.

I recently stayed at The White Balcao for 12 hours and it was a great experience. The location is hidden in a quiet alley, perfect for a peaceful stay. The check-in counter doubles as a cozy cafe, making it a lovely spot to enjoy a book and coffee. The shared bathroom was clean and beautifully decorated. The hotel's Portuguese influences are evident in its tasteful decor. The prime location in the old Portuguese quarter is ideal for photography enthusiasts. Many delicious Goan food joints are nearby. Attractions are easily accessible by foot or a short bus ride. The highlight was the delicious breakfast with generous portions. The manager, Fahad, went above and beyond to help me and even offered me dinner from his kebab shop. If you're visiting Panaji, The White Balcao is the best choice for value and location.
Would recommend this hotel.

Loved the vegetarian breakfast, it was so filling that I didn't need to eat for the rest of the day. Also, the location was great, I could practically roll out of bed and be at all the famous attractions.
Oh, and let's not forget the nightly surprise visits from the guard, it was like having my own personal alarm clock! How delightful.

The rooms at The White Balcao are absolutely charming! They give off a cozy vibe that made me feel right at home. The beds were so comfy and the bed linen was top-notch. I slept like a baby every night!
Personally, I found the balcony a bit small for my liking. But hey, others might still enjoy the fresh air and view.

I had a wonderful stay at a hidden gem in Panaji. The place was tucked away in a small alley, making it a quiet and peaceful haven. The check-in counter also served as a cozy café where I could relax with a book and enjoy a delicious breakfast. The dormitory I stayed in had a spacious and beautifully decorated shared bathroom. The Portuguese influences in the décor added a charming touch. The location in the old Portuguese quarter was perfect for photography enthusiasts like me, with plenty of nearby food joints to sample Goan cuisine. All the attractions were within walking distance, and the manager, Fahad, went above and beyond to ensure my stay was exceptional. He even gave me a lift to old Goa and treated me to dinner at his kebab shop. The White Balcao is definitely the best choice for a value-packed and conveniently located stay in Panaji.
