Review by hotel critic
During my first solo trip to Goa, I booked an AC dorm at 12 Monks, and it turned out to be a smart choice, especially for those weighing luxury against value. Nestled right on the beach, the location is unmatched-nothing beats waking up to the sound of waves. the outdoor lounge area, with its garden furniture, provides a perfect spot to unwind and meet fellow travelers or even catch some work in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff, including Ayush and Sachin, are genuinely welcoming, which adds to the hostel's charm. They offer helpful services like laundry and tours/ticket assistance, making your stay more convenient and enjoyable. You also have the option to enjoy some live entertainment, creating a lively vibe. While 12 Monks may not have the lavish offerings of a five-star resort, it delivers on essentials-air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and pet-friendly amenities make it a value-driven choice. For those looking for authentic experiences without breaking the bank, this hostel comes highly recommended. It's an excellent option for both solo travelers and groups.
