"Good property. Good location. Connected to beach. Lack of amenities , as during my stay pool was closed."

"A couple of days ago, we returned from a trip to Goa, to Arambol. We stayed at the Swati Hotel. I must say, my impressions were very mixed. This was my first time in India, or even Asia in general. Perhaps that's why I wasn't prepared for some of the nuances. The hotel is several four-story buildings forming a courtyard where the reception (a tent-like hut) is located. I have to give the guy at reception credit – he was always there, friendly, very pleasant, and checked if we had enough. You could always get a change of towels, water, soap, and toilet paper there. A special thank you to him and a 10 out of 10 rating. Next, the rooms… we got a room on the third floor overlooking the courtyard. The room has two beds (2 cm and one double), a wardrobe, two nightstands, an old refrigerator, and that's it! There are no chairs, no table, no kettle, and no hairdryer, even though it was mentioned in the description. The bathroom is a "shower," meaning the shower head is located near the toilet. When you shower, everything gets wet... the water was cold on our arrival, so we barely washed up. Later, it seemed okay. There's a small balcony with a table and two wicker chairs. You can only sit on one, and then sideways—you just can't reach the other. There's so little space. The biggest drawback for me is the very, very dark room. The windows are frosted glass, with dark blue curtains. The bedding is also dark blue, and there's a palm tree next to the balcony, blocking the sun. I didn't want to go back to the room; it felt like a cellar. But at least it wasn't damp. We had breakfast included. There's a separate menu for included breakfasts—four options. Although, if the breakfast listing says fruit salad, toast with butter and jam, or a fruit and milkshake, it might not include salad. They'll bring you two small pieces of bread with butter and a milkshake or juice (if you ask for juice instead). Juice might not be available either. And all of this takes at least 20 (!) minutes to prepare. For those who don't have breakfast included, there's a separate, extensive menu. So, if you're expecting to fill up on the included breakfast, don't get your hopes up. We constantly bought extras (fruit, yogurt, cookies), even though we ate very little. The location is good – close to the main shopping street, with lots of cafes and a juice center nearby. The road to the beach is a different story – it's not the beachfront, as many places advertise. It's a 5-7-minute walk, ***** a road that looks more like a trash can. And there are tons of beggars there. It's a real pleasure. What else... The room was never cleaned, and the bed linen was never changed during our 9 nights. Perhaps I should have asked, but I didn't. Oh, and there are no trash cans in the room. We collected trash in bags and carried it out to the stairs, where there was a trash can. And a huge, huge minus that's definitely worth considering: they burn trash in India! During our stay, there were two trash fires near the hotel at night—the stench and smoke were terrifying! There was nothing you could do—it was night, you couldn't leave, you had to breathe it in. In the morning, the entire balcony was covered in ash. And the noise was incredibly loud. It felt like everyone walking on the stairs and in the courtyard was in your room. Overall, the hotel wasn't the most pleasant experience. Perhaps this is specific to India, and for the price, you shouldn't have expected more... but all of this needs to be taken into account. I definitely wouldn't go there again."

"It was very excellent stay here. Staff was very courteous. Food was delicious. Nice peaceful stay."

"4th floor rooms are heavy generator sound & fan sound. Kræver ventilation, & balkon, fuldt lukket område. For 1 dag og 2 dage bliver ok længere ikke behageligt. Overordnet godt"

"This hotel is highly recommended. Very clean and the staff is very friendly. The breakfast buffet is extensive. Guests can take a free shuttle to the beach at the neighboring hotel and also use all the restaurants and cafes at the other Taj Mahal. The rooftop pool is very cool. The gym has everything you need."

"Smukt sted...personalet er meget nyttigt...de har en god sort af morgenmad"

"Smukt hotel.Personalet er alle høflige og professionelle.Værelset var enormt, og WiFi var hurtigt.Bedøvelsen var også god.Hvis faciliteterne var mere mord, kunne jeg ikke ønske mere.Men jeg kan ikke klage over dette hotel."

"For those like me who are looking for peace and quiet, this hotel is absolutely not suitable!!!!!!! There's loud music from morning until morning, and the noise and din of locals from the bar and pool area is unbearable, as all the rooms overlook the pool and bar. When I booked, I didn't see that there was a hostel here in addition to private rooms. When I commented on the music, the administrator replied that people come here to relax, and accordingly ignored me. He said if you don't like it, you can move out, but we won't refund you for unused days. I would have gladly changed hotels on the first day, but 41... it was a shame to lose. For anyone who comes to party from morning until morning, I think it will be fine. It's just far from the sea, right on the mountain. The room itself is large."

"Jeg kan virkelig godt lide hotellets atmosfære og mad var fantastiske de specielt forberedt mad med ingen løg og ingen hvidløg, da jeg er allergisk"
