WelcomHeritage Panjim Inn

Beautifully restored/maintained heritage building next to the river. An old family home the hotel has lovely antiques and quirky touches that will delight the people who want a genuine experience rather than a chain hotel. The staff were super helpful attending to all requests efficiently. The room was clean and well specified with everything working as it should. Each room has different period features and furniture with some overlooking the river. Breakfast buffet was small but delicious with items available to be cooked to order and super friendly staff. The location is perfect for exploring the lovely narrow streets of Fontainhas, the only Latin Quarter in India. The period properties range from beautifully maintained/renovated to atmospheric dilapidation. Historic old cafes and bakeries exist *****side hip new places. You shouldn't miss trying Goan Feni or Urrak in Panjims famous historic dive bar Joseph's which has great Western music and a bustling vibe especially in the evenings and weekends with authentic Goan snacks. Good Goan and Indian food abounds in the areas but you are also within easy walking distance are some diverse and quality places that are rare to find easiky. Tataki for Asian food, Route 66 for American diner and burgers, Saavaa for great cocktails in a sophisticated setting, DTR for great river views over the Old Patto Bridge and draft beer ***** with nightly live music, Bombay Coffee House Select for great coffee, smoothies and baked goods, Miski Bar, K-Bar etc etc. You are also not far from the cute parks ***** the river and for those interested - Panjims river cruises and ****** boats are all departing nearby. Don't skip Panjim whilst in Goa - it's a city Gem if you know where to look and this hotel is well placed to explore it all.

From the very appearance of the hotel from outside spread over 3 roads, visitors will have the feeling that they are seeing a famous Portuguese architecture, in the older part of Lisbon or Porto cities. The Reception desk decorated like the heritage homes of Goa and ***ned by unique personalities like Preeti D'Souza and others immediately give the guests a very homely feeling. Preeti took personal care in suggesting and selecting your room as per the category of your booking entitlement. She and others go out of the way to help the boarders with any need. The rooms with its unique doors and windows of the Victorian era and each of the furniture, the river and the balcony facing it need a special mention. All the attractions of Panjim or Panaji are only at a walking distance from the hotel. Given a chance I will come to this hotel again as its location is in a very good locality, views of the river are also excellent. The Food and the special milk tea are very tasty. The restaurant staffs are always ready to serve you the proper meal as per your choice and above all because of the helpful front desk staff spearheaded by Ms. D'Souza.

The Panjim Inn is located in the heart of Fontainhas. Built in the 19th Century, it has clearly been lovingly kept by its owners and retains all its charm and character Even the furniture is period, which is a nice touch. Our first hotel with a period four poster bed that's for sure! We loved staying here, and will hopefully return again some day.

Prime location in Latin quarter of Fountainhas and near market, top church& well known restaurants, rooms offering old world charm, sumptuous breakfast, courteous staff. Room tariff and food prices are a bit on higher side but justified.

The best thing about this Hotel is the Restaurant where you can get excellent food at reasonable prices. However, if you reserve a specific table, there is only a 50% chance that you will get it, according to our ecperience. The breakfast was to our entire satisfaction, too, whereas the room was not. Cleanliness and the antique furniture was certainly ok but the room itself was dark and noisy. The noise from the street lasted also during the night and the motorbikes of some reckless drivers were extremely noisy and disturbing. So for three nights we did not sleep well, mainly due to heavy traffic but also due to some strange noises stemming from other guests. So our experience with this place was rather mixed.
