Happy Panda Hostel Arambol Goa

A group of friends were in Goa and on tour to North Goa beaches happened to go to this awesome Youth Hostel especially for Back Packers. The owners were extremely friendly, the three dormotories were spci & spqan and well maintained. There was lot of rules for guests probably to enforce discipline & harmony. Reasonable priced good food & ambience. People travelling on budget do take a look for value for money

Kartik and Saurabh are what make happy Panda the de facto choice for staying in Goa. There are countless reasons for this, I'll share the ones that are top of mind for now. - Of all the hostels I've stayed at Happy Panda takes health, hygiene and cleanliness very seriously. It's usually an after thought, here it's a priority. - The beds are made and the sheets are changed every day, it's important for me to come back to a well made bed and after a day/evening of adventure in Goa a clean well made bed makes all the difference in the world. - Food! The food is nourishing and fresh. Saurabh brings the groceries himself. My personal favourite is the egg curry. -Location and convenience, you'll have everything you could possibly need within a stone's throw. Think pharmacy, scooty rental, laundry, etc. -The people who stay there - they want to mingle, talk and engage. You will rarely find hostels where people are expected to interact by design. It takes real effort to build a community built on individualism. -WiFi and co working space. The WiFi is brilliant! Even at peak hours I didn't feel any drop in bandwidth. There's a dedicated desk area to work from. -Safety and feeling at ease. I never had to worry about leaving my articles unattended. Most of the other places I've stayed at I have had to worry constantly about my belongings. Closing note -- if you're looking for a place where you'll feel taken care of, seen and heard. Choose Happy Panda if you want the best experience in North Goa.

Very bad experience

It is the cleanest hostel i have visited, they take their cleanliness very seriously. Very nice, chill place to stay & socialise. Very close to everything in arambol. The hosts Kartik & Sourabh are super fun & friendly..had an amazing time..

If you are looking to book a hostel in Arambol, then look no further. From the moment you enter through the gates of the hostel to the day you leave, your hosts: Kartik and Sourabh would guide you. For solo travellers like me, Happy Panda Hostel is a one stop vibe shop. The hostel is very neat and tidy, the hosts wholesome, and the community diverse and vibrant. Come here with an open mind, and a friendly heart, and you'd have an experience of a lifetime!
