Pappi Chulo Hostel

Amazing place, amazing vibe and amazing visions! The graffiti is trippy and the music trippier. In my 3 days of staying I had exactly what I came for; me time with just the right time of socializing. Bilal and his way with mixing drinks is astounding. If you're in vagator and don't stay at Pappi Chulo, my friends you're missing out on a lot of good memories 🌀👁️👽

Worst place to stay. Nothing special — unless you enjoy being ignored and bribed for reviews. Booked a hostel, but what I actually got was a masterclass in how not to run one. 1. The toilet lock was broken — privacy is apparently optional here. 2. On Dec 24, the food counter conveniently shut down after 10:30 PM because the owner had special guests. Regular paying guests? Not important. Had to step out for food. 3. Loud music after 2 PM — sleep clearly isn’t part of the experience. 4. Staff were cold and unwelcoming, as if guests were an inconvenience. 5. Next morning, I woke up at 8 AM hoping for at least a coffee. Cafeteria was closed. Opening time? 10:30 AM. Because mornings are overrated. 6. To top it off, there was a poster inside the toilet asking guests to give a 5-star review in exchange for a free shot. So now I understand where the ratings come from. That’s when I realized staying one more day would completely ruin my Christmas as well. I checked out immediately, even though I had already paid for another day. Best decision of the trip. Left Pappi Chulo and moved to another hostel where guests are treated equally, not based on favoritism or fake reviews. Would not recommend — unless disappointment and manipulated ratings are part of your travel plan.

My first ever hostel stay and I must say it was too good an experience. For the price charged the place is very well done up & maintained. Rooms are cleaned, washrooms deep cleaned everyday. The location is super centrally placed, walkable from the best places on vagator beach. They have a cute bar to chill at, some outdoor games and a lot of sit out space. The management is great company to be around, more like friends that you can end up chilling with. I walked out with some real good friends at the end of my stay and hope you all will too. Cheers.

A amazing stay for the good vibes, great ambience and some kick ass Graffiti. Must visit by the beach, met some kool people. But seriously this is the craziest party hostel in Goaaa, no cap. They play such amazing music, techno usually but yess hip hop vibes everywhere! Not just a party hostel, but a really welcoming atmosphere that grows in you, you become part of the people who run this amazing hostel. Specially KARAN 😎 Pappi Chulo has history and being part of that feels like being part of your own vibe circle and dare you once you come here, you can’t leave, it won’t let you go!

The only real reason to stay here is if you’re a group of girl friends who want to party late at places like Noah, Hammerz, or Raeeth without having to drunk drive back and forth to your stay because they’re all in walking distance. The beds are fine but no individual safe space to keep your belongings. There was no hot water to shower even during the day. Don’t expect a typical hostel experience beyond passcodes to enter the dorms. There are mostly solo travellers, though they’re social enough — so in that sense, it’s a good place to make new friends and explore together, I guess. Was not a bad first time experience but wouldn’t go again.

First of all, the hostel was not even aware of our arrival or our booking. We had to wait for almost an hour to get our dorms. We had booked a 6-bed dorm, but were later told that they don’t have any 6-bed dorms in their facility only 10-bed dorms. Despite this downgrade, we were asked to pay again. The dorms looked empty, yet we were informed that due to “overbooking", we had to pay extra. After travelling for more than 10 hours and then waiting for an hour, I had no energy left to argue, so I ended up paying the extra amount—even though I had already paid in full at the time of booking. It was honestly a terrible experience. The rest of the stay was okay, nothing too bad, but the check-in experience really ruined it.
