Great location, helpful staff, nice quiet room
We felt very lucky to have found a clean, quiet room at Round Cube in the middle of busy Palolem. It's in the center of all the action and just a walk to the beach. The staff was willing to clean our room at any time. We were very happy there. The only reason I can't give it a full 5 stars is because there was a strong sewage smell in the bathroom that was pretty harsh at times. We would definitely stay here again.

Walk a few minutes to the beach, save a bunch
I originally booked for one night and ended up staying for five. The room (306) was clean, bright, airy, and had a high vaulted ceiling. The AC, fan, TV, lights, bar fridge and shower all worked and housekeeping was available daily. That's a rarity for Goa hotels at this price point. There was even a balcony with an amazing view of the street and the neighbour's junk strewn lot. The Ritz it is not but it was more than adequate and decent value for under 2000 Rs.

I thought the room with be on the beach by looking at the pictures uploaded by the owner but it was off the beach so i that was upsetting. Also while guiding me the owner told me to come on the beach so i went to the beach and later he told me that its not on the beach so i had to go back ...The owner must not create confusion about the location of the room,,i booked the room expecting that it would be on the beach and not off the beach. Also the room wi-fi was not working at all..

Hotel is very close to beach.
If you are looking for a hotel which is not so costly and close to the beach. This one is for sure on your list. There is parking problem. They have parking but in in hotel proximity. For that you can use beach parking and it 1 min walk from hotel.

It's a lodge. Not a hotel. Get your own water.
First thing first, It is not a hotel. Its a lodge or call it motel. The minute you enter the narrow entry for lodge room, you will realize that you have made a blunder by booking this lodge. There is no kitchen or room service. There is no dial phone. You will be provided only 1 liter of water per room which they told us is complimentary. If you ask for more water they will out right reject the request. We booked 4 rooms for total 8 people. Pictures shown on hotels.com website have an impression that hotel will have beach view balcony but there is no view. Take this lodge only if you just want to retire/get a sleep after exploring the beach which is around 500meters walk from the hotel.

Pleasant stay in bungalow
Originally we was put in the hotel which would of been ok for a couple of nights but we booked a stay for 2 weeks, as it was on the main road it was very noisy. We was moved to the bungalow which is what we origanlly wanted and staying there was plesant, right on the beach with attentive and friendly staff. Only thing we found bad was the shower as it was like a drip. A bug net for the bed was needed. Overall our stay in the bungalow was enjoyable for our relaxing holiday.

Terrible experience at roundcube palolem
Extremely bad experience. Terrible hotel, rude and unhelpful owner. Room conditions were extremely bad. Ac was not working, dirty linen, dirty room, extremely dirty and used stinky bathroom. Refrigerator was there but you can use it as table because it will not cool anything. There is no room service so you have to come down for every request which will anyway listened by anyone. There is no good restaurants nearby so for food you have to go to the beach everytime. They charged me 5000 per day showing alot of good things but actually it's not worth even for 500. They promised free parking but they have no parking.. Even private vehicles are not allowed in that area. I have to kept my suv a km away at an alien place. I went with my family for 4 days but couldn't spent a single day and returned back next day loosing 15000 of non refundable booking. Beware guys!!

Reserved room unavailable - rudely downgraded
I had booked two deluxe rooms. My friends reached first and they got a room, but when I reached I was told that there were no more deluxe rooms available since a current guest hadn't checked out. We were told to stay in the standard room instead, clearly due to no fault of ours, and on refusing to do so we were told rudely that we were welcome to cancel our booking. The manager was impolite and rude, and thought it was perfectly okay for us to downgrade to a room, without even accepting it was the hotel's fault that they didn't have our reserved room available.

Reasonable price during the peak season...
Booked for three persons but had only a double bed and third person had to adjust with a mattress. As per my experience its same with al the budget hotels.

Quite good for the price, you may be able to do better by checking prices at cabins on the beach though.

Good hotel.
Room was pretty good, but had some problems with bugs, mostly ants (seems common in Indian beach towns). Wi-fi was better than most Indian hotels we've been to. Staff was fairly helpful with booking a scooter and how to get to our next destination. For the price it was pretty good, but there may be better options closer to the beach.

Alright stay
We got a limited amount of information about cleaning, check out etc., and they had given away our room upon arrival. Luckily that meant we got upgraded to bungalows at Laughing Buddha which is closer to the beach.

Affordable Stay with Basic Amenities
We enjoyed our Stay at Roundcube. The Deluxe room provided by the hotel was good, but the non-provision of lift was a drawback considering walking 2 floors up and down daily. Other than that everything went fine with our stay. Hotel is at a walkable distance from Palolem Beach.

Not recommended
Poor standard room, even the socalled super deluxe room. Poor standard bathrom and bath fascilities. In the room only a bed not even a chair or table. Best thing I can say is that it had a functioning tv. I would not stay here again as there are so many other cheaper and better options much closer to the beach or on the beach

Close to Palolem Beach
Goa is tantamount to Bath in England. People from all over the world travel there to relax, eat and rejuvenate. Get over the less than 21st Century amenities and the bed making, clean up and you will find a quaint hotel for the cost. The Roundcube is the southernmost part of Goa without being as highfalutin as the 5 star resorts and geriatrics of North Goa. South Goa has cleaner beaches than North Goa and don't want to swim with bottles or other garbage. The shower & toilet are one unit which requires a squeege. You have to buy your own shampoo, soap and toilet paper. There are numerous stores within walking distance to obtain your toiletries. Roundcube is a LOT safer than the beach bungalows down the road. There is a huge armoire to lock your belongings. We saw numerous tourists toting their backpacks around with all their stuff because their bungalows had no security. Who wants to hang out at the beach with all their things? Our room had an open window to the bathroom to keep mold from growing in the shower/toilet so keep the door closed and the mosquitoes will not find you. Otherwise bring a mosquito net and some DEET. Make sure to pay for the AC because Goa is humid. The hotel has internet downstairs and exchanges money at the current rate without all the annoying fees. The staff can also help book train rides, plane tickets to other areas of India. If you must have someone who speaks English, they are quite fluent. There are rickshaws, Vespas and motorcycles for rent around the corner. The best bar, The Cuba, is directly in front of the hotel and offers cheap eats. There are also numerous restaurants on the beach that will barbeque your fish, crab or lobster right after you pick it up. When we return to Goa, we will definitely stay at Roundcube again!

Not the best option to stay in Palolem, Goa
This is place not owned by Round Cube, rather hired from other property. Though the huts are newly built and was clean, you cannot keep window open due to mosquitoes. Thankfully staff is supportive and provide with coils and water on request. The area near hut is well maintained but access road is poor and passes through alleys. There is no parking space close by and vehicle is parked on narrow main road. Good for group or bachelors, not suggested for families.

bonjour, nous avons passé 3 nuits dans une chambre de l'hôtel , une equipe de jeunes tiennent l'hôtel ils sont très sympathiques ainsi que la jeune fille qui lave le linge qui est très souriante , la chambre était propre grande avec un balcon, le lit confortable les matelas sont souvent très durs en Inde ,nous sommes in Inde ne l'oublions pas les hôtels sont differents des hôtels Français , nous avons eu presque tout le temps de l'eau chaude (assez rare en Inde) l'hôtel est placé dans une rue commerçante à environ 200 ms de la plage , nous n'avons pas vu les huttes nous ne ferons pas de commentaires la dessus , je suis contente de pouvoir donner mon avis car je trouvais leur note injustifiée

Her ville vi ikke bli!
Vi hadde betalt for fem netter på hyttene til roundcube men ble der kun en natt. Beskrivelsen som ble gitt på rommene da vi bestilte og på den e-post vi leste i Varanasi om hva som forventet oss på neste opphold stemt overhodet ikke med hva vi møtte; hyttene er SVÆRT enkle og badet ganske ekkelt! støyen fra Laughing Budda bar fulgt oss hele natten! Vi valgte på tross av allerde betalt hytte å flytte til et langt bedre sted "the dreamcatcher" som kostet mindre enn roundcube. Dreamcatcher kan anbefales!
