Village Royal Hotel, Calangute, India
Hotel Information
Hotel Description:
If you're looking for somewhere off the beaten track of tourism, peacefully rural and comfortably simple, this is for you. Probably best appreciated by couples and mature travellers, this new, clean and welcoming hotel makes a great value base for independent exploration. The hotel has its own bar, restaurant and swimming pool, hosts lively entertainment a couple of nights each week and offers courtesy transport to Calangute beach. The location makes it unsuitable for customers with walking difficulties. 1 km from local shops and eateries, 1.5 km from the resort centre and 2 km from the long sandy beach. loading...

Whilst the property is described as 2*, which would suggest a basic standard of accommodation, the property should be clean, well maintained and fit for its purpose. Unfortunately, on arrival, I found this not to be the case.
