Pritams Cottages

This is bed & breakfast type hotel, located in main market opposite to Sun n Moon Travel agency near to Palolem beach, 5 min walking distance to beach. I booked through Red Bus website and got good rates for AC double room. Location : Very good location, near to beach, 300m from beach, 5 min walk. You can go on beach anytime, you can go early morning to see sun rise, also can stay and relax on beach till late night. Room : I stayed here for 2 nights in AC deluxe room. Room was very small with very little space to move around. Toilet was clean as well the bed sheets and mosquito net. Rooms flooring was clean however rooms wall look dusty. AC was good. Rooms are value for money. They have running cold/hot water. Free Wi-fi is also there but a bit slow at times. Food : They don't provide food but many restaurants are there within walking distance from this cottage. Owner was helpful. The cottages are safe also. Overall recommended to stay for families, couples and solo budget travellers. Pros : 1. Distance close to beach, approx 300 m from beach, 5 min walking distance. you can go to beach to have a walk any time early in the morning or in the night. 2. Wi-Fi network is rally good, though it was troubled some time during day. I watched couple of You Tube videos without buffering. 3. AC was powerful. Cons : 1. No Power Backup. 2. Rooms are small with basic amenities. They do not provide bath soap.

Firstly we went to the room and seen a mosquito net hung on above the bed. Which was as dirty as no one will even touch that.Secondly, Hot water is not available but in a portal shown Hot water is available 24*7.We were there in the winter season and were afraid of taking bath because of nonavailability of hot water.Third, the Room is not free of Outside insects. Insects are roaming here and there in a room.Forth, Blankets are available but of very poor quality.Fifth, In a room where my friends were staying, windows can be opened from outside of the room, which is not safe for couples or newly married couples.Sixth, only a single power plug is available. Which is hectic for a couple or family. only one device at a time we can charge.Seventh, lack of cleanliness.Eighth, Windows in a bathroom are fixed in a wall but visible from outside of the room that what is happening in a bathroom. A shadow or body visual can be seen from outside of the room.1. Electricity problem.2. Non safety. Windows can be open from outside.3. Pest control not done.4. Very poor quality blankets.5. No hot water available.6. Cleaning required.

We had a wonderful stay at Pritam's cottage in Nov 16. The location is close to the beach, about 5 mins walk. we had an AC room on the first floor. the room was nice and clean, perfect for a couple of days stay. it's a value for money place so don't expect too much service. They don't have a restaurant so no room service either, but a number of restaurants nearby to choose from. the room is basic but clean. AC was functioning properly throughout our stay, bedding was clean, bathroom was neat and clean with toilet soap and hot water running most of the time. nothing much to complain of... We got a deal for ***** a day from goibibo and it's well worth that money. Not many pictures have been shared by other travelers so I was a bit apprehensive before booking the place. but I'd definitely recommend this place to fellow travelers.

(Negative)- It is a village like environment and there was free flow of all kinds of insects to the room under the door. I had to tight pack the door holes with paper to prevent incoming of insects. I am not used to such environment and felt very uncomfortable with such creatures. I requested to give me a room in the first floor but they asked me 300 rs extra per day. (positive)- the hotel owner is very gentle and polite, best regards to him.
