Hotel Lua Nova

The hotel is very neat,and very close to the Baga beach. I enjoyed my stay. The staff are very friendly. And the restaurant serves great food. Loved the breakfast toasts and omlette. Tuna salad is to die for.

Loved this hotel, it was clean and had AC which was needed. The staff are lovely and friendly, they even out a little birthday party together for me in one of the guys by the pool. They also did a traditional Indian thing with the cake!! We ate at the hotel restaurant almost every night as the food was amazing. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed for 11 nights from 15th January. The staff are an absolute credit to the hotel; they all work very hard and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel was clean, tidy and welcoming. It has a lovely bar and breakfast is served every morning for those that have the bed and breakfast package. We also ate of an evening and the setting is lovely. This year there were very few English due to Thomas Cook but there was still a friendly atmosphere. Once again, the staff are extremely friendly and kind. The hotel is in an ideal position - approximately 7 minute walk to Baga beach but it is off the main road and so it is quiet. We walked everywhere but transport options are plentiful (and cheap). The rooms are basic but then we only slept in it and got ready - we were in India for the experience and we didn't want a 4 or 5 star hotel, but then again we didn't pay for one either! It was cleaned on request and we had clean sheets, towels etc. It was clean and tidy and nothing is too much trouble if you need anything at any time. There is a fridge and TV in the room and plenty of sockets. We had a pool view room with air conditioning and a fan - just what we needed. It was our wedding anniversary celebration and Anthony arranged for a bottle of bubbles - very kind. Hope to visit again soon. Kim and Simon

Been coming to this hotel on and off for 20 years. Is now focused on low budget Russian tourists. The local area no longer has lots of restaurants and bars. The rooms are uncomfortable and the hotel is very dirty. The only amazing thing about the hotel is the bar and restaurant in the garden beside the hotel which are leased to an amazing guy called Surya. The food is stunning and the drinks selection is great. Try the cocktails and whatever is the food special they are offering that day. If you want a base in North Goa and you can get this as part of a cheap package then fine, but there are much nicer places to be found - and one would be better heading further north or much further south just for the atmosphere in general.

I went to Goa in India and stayed at the poorest hotel I have ever come across it and I have been around the world it was a 4-star rating of the hotel it was moor like a 2-star. The apartment they put me in wasn't fit for the human environment. The room had a shower that was dirty mold on the cistern of the toilet. When I put the shower on there was no water and when I got it on in the morning the water came out brown rusty waster. I tried to come home on the first night but love holidays ignored my 5 emails to them. So I sore the holiday from hell out the Hygiene of this hotel is poor in 2 weeks my room was cleaned 3 times only because I complained.I had gone to celebrate Christmas and I paid for bed and breakfasts and the breakfast consists of a coffee and an omelet with cold toast. So I walk every morning on a 2-hour journey to get breakfast every morning. When I got back you have to walk down a dusty track to get to the hotel. I was having 3 showers a day to keep clean the dust off from walking down the track to the hotel. The hotel was full of Russian families there were no English people staying at this hotel.
