A basic but clean and friendly hotel, set back from the bustle of the main road, helpful and accommodating staff, rooms a little dated but perfectly adequate, nice pool, good food, smiley people.

Terrible experience in Osbourn Resorts
Rooms shown in the net are different from the originals ,there is no room service available ..foods very terrible ,room are shabby dark and claustophobic ..even the complimentry breakfast ...no one even come and checked for feedbacks ....will not recommend anyone to stay in Osbourn. Expedia should check the rooms themselves before suggesting it to their guests.

You can get a much better price/quality ratioinGoa
Reception staff extremely unfriendly. They looked annoyed be me trying to check in. Bar and restaurant staff friendly. Food ok. Rooms just terrible. Musty, smelly, stains and holes on sheets. Dirty towels.Fire detector beeping every 5 minutes, keeping me awake. Pool decent. I understand this is not Ritz but still - you can get much better deals in Goa. At least if they were friendly. ...

Pathetic service
We stayed there for 4 days and night. Booked online based on their rating. Hotel location is not good as it is inside the main road. Room was big but the condition was very bad. All the fittings were very old and broken. There was no room service. Finally, not recommended.

Pathetic service
I went to Goa with my family for vacation. We stayed there for 4 nights. We booked the hotel based on their rating but I don't think it deserves that much rating. Room was big but condition was bad. We paid for extra bed but only bedding was provided (without cot). Electrical fittings were old and broken with wires out. There was no room service. Finally no value for money.

Very Poor Quality Hotel
This hotel is of a very very poor standard. Rooms are dirty, unsafe and in need of some repair/upgrade. We arrived and were shown a room which wasn't fit to stay in. We asked to see a better roomn and were told there were no other rooms. When we said we were leaving and wouldn't take the booking we were shown another room that was just as bad. The lady on reception had a bad attitude.

away from traffic noise
This is an excellent Resort. You have a choice of staying in one of the 3 buildings. Large rooms- one TV room and one bedroom with AC. Also a large bathroom with 24hr hotwater. Also available are 3 swim pools. Nightly entertainment is provided but could be better. Not much for children to do except swim. Taxi available outside the resort hotel. 10 mins walk from the beach and 5 mins to local shops. 30 mins walk from Calangute Centre.

I had lovely time in goa, but the hotel itself was very basic. The room was damp and moldy. The staff is too loud by the rooms no chance to sleep in the mornings from 6.30.am. Quite dissapointed as i experienced very low quality for the money I paid.

Just an Ok hotel...
Rooms are clean but basic... Don't have TV, or Room Service... You need to walk down to the restaurant to get anything you need including water to drink.... The so called attached bar is always shut, not sure when they open it... Basically a decent stay with just the basics!

Long weekend in Goa
I have picked out hotels from websites but this was by far the worst experience ever!!!! The hotel has nothing that it claims to offer. the pool that is shown in the picture is out of service. The staff is not at all bothered, could not speak to the manager for the 2 days I stayed there.... there was no TV only in our room and staff claimed that there was supposed to be non. No back up for electricity either - worst hey don't even provide the mosquito coil. The website would be better off de-listing this hotel to hold to their reputation.

No To Osborne
We had booked 3 rooms in theresort. We did not enjoy our stay in osborne at all. I was told that there was room service when i made the booking, but when i went there it was not available. The first night we spent there, we were not given any blankets. My children were literally shiverring. Morning after putting up a fight we were given blankets that were torn and literrally had huge holes in them. The swimming pool was closed for maintainance and the pool that they said we could use was very small. One of the receptionists was very rude. I seriously wish i had chosen a better place than this resort.

Will enjoy only if with friends within a budget
If you are looking for a budget hotel to just spend the nites, then you might go for this hotel. The hotel has very basic amenities and nothing great in particular. Again, you get what you pay for. If this is your budget and you are looking to spend time with friends, then the hotel shouldn't disappoint you. The best thing I liked about the rooms was that they are interconnected. Again, that might be a negative point if you want greater privacy. Overall, good value for money but nothing close to exotic.

No frills hotel
Overall it was a decent hotel when compared to tariff. If you are one of those who like to explore places instead of just staying indoors then you will enjoy...not that u can't stay too long within this property.. We went in off season(june '12) so the mood was quite relaxed in whole of Goa & understandably in Hotel also. Pool table was never open..guess they remain closed in off season..decent size Swimming pool was what made our stay interesting. Food was okay..we had planned not to eat at one restaurant anyways. Guys just make sure u carry enough cash coz not many shops/resto-bars accept Cards including some lavish looking ones too..For the price we paid, wouldn't mind coming back to same hotel....(planning for this December itself!!)

Strictly Budget and Very Average
Not much of a resort/hotel Just an average room to stay. No room service and getting even water to drink is tough. Housekeeping is average too. Breakfast is an insult to buffet breakfasts. Just Omlette and Poori/Sabji.

Clean room and helpful staff
I booked bed and breakfast at the Osborne Hotel for a week. On arrival, I was allocated a large double room in basic condition, bed appeared old, fan too high to feel any breeze, dirty bathroom. I immediately complained and the next day was allocated a room next door on the same floor which was literally five star, beautiful clean floor tiles, clean bathroom with hot water anytime, a small balcony overlooking the pool. The air-conditioning and fan working perfectly, lovely clean twin beds. I enjoyed my stay, very helpful staff.money exchange nearby and good clean eating places, will definitely be visiting and staying at the Osborne

A Budget Hotel To Lookout For.
A very good budget hotel, conveniently located, and with a good overall service. Breakfast was a bit miserly though in terms of the items on offer in the Buffet, but can't crib about it much considering the overall package price we paid for the room. A must for all people who wish to stay in a clean and nice environment without having to shell out those extra bucks on other fancy hotels in the neighbourhood.

OK
For the price, it is hard to complain and the staff I am sure would do all they could for you. However as we stayed only for two nights we did not have much interaction with them and could not be sure we necessarily got the greatest rooms available due to the short nature of the stay. The rooms are a good size, however basic. This is OK, however the bed mattress were not fantastic and the sheets stained by aged old marks. The bathroom was a little disappointing too, living it to a two star rating. OK for a fly by visit if not too fussy or looking to keep things cheap.

Nice and relaxing atmosphere!
Great hotel, nice and clean rooms, good faciliteres and excellent service, a perfect place for relaxing! But I went with my friend, and we are both 24 years old, and all the other guests where over 40 and couples, so if you are looking fore some "fun with younger people", dont choose this hotel. But VERY good in total...

Osborne Holiday Resorts - Close to beaches.
It's a right choice to choose my stay at Osborne Holiday Resorts through www.hotels.com. Actually i booked the room for 3 days after seeing the ambience and location of the resorts i extended for another 3 more days. It's very close to all the most happening beaches in GOA.

Osbourne Hotel-Great place in middle of everywhere
We arrived a couple of hours early to the hotel and were allowed to checkin as the rooms were already ready Everything was in place, it was clean, spacious with running water A functional swimming pool, breakfast in the morning, water filter at reception to fill up empty bottles Reception helped us hire bikes for a decent price It is a 5 minute ride away from calungute beach and within 20 mins of other main beaches like baga and anjuna The far north or south beaches were equally accessible like vagator, arambol, panolim Locals are friendly and can direct you where you need to go

Great 1st time experience
There are bars, shops, restaurants & taxi's in abundance although some where closed as we were there out of tourist season. We did experience a few power cuts which did not last for too long so it may be a good idea to have a torch handy although they do supply candles in your room. Overall we had a great 1st experience of Osborne and Goa and look forward to planning our next visit (maybe not in May when it is hotter than any other month in the year)
