Merces, Panaji hotel rooms at the Royal Orchid

"lovely hotel with the exception of the breakfast area which is untidy. the cost of the hotel is way too high. I have stayed in better hotels for half the cost"

"Absolutely unreal stay! From the minute we entered the property to leaving - we were looked after really well by Nilam on the front desk (she deserves a raise!!!). They also upgraded our room and celebrated my masters which was such a lovely surprise. The most luxurious stay in goa, peaceful and food was incredible. Rooms were outstanding - this is why I always pick Taj! Looking forward to being back. "

"Unorganised for breakfast, very noisy at night "

"Beach view was very nice and pristine. No obsturctiond or other public. Private beach made it more exclusive."

"Wow what a brilliant hotel exceptional wish I could give it a better review it’s worth more than 5 stars!!! We have come since it opened last year this is our second year staying at this beautiful hotel! Staff go up & beyond to ensure your stay is the best you can have nothing is too much trouble. All the staff are so friendly & helpful from front desk to restaurant/chefs to housekeeeping all brilliant do such a great job I can’t rate them highly enough! "

"Great Staff! Thank you Arsalan at the restaurant for your great service! Best reception at the front desk. Smooth airport transportation arrangement. Great Property! Beautiful rooms. "

"This is an exceptional hotel! Amazing staff and beautiful grounds, and the sea view rooms are really stunning. "

"Great hotel, friendly staff and good food. Prices are extremely affordable. The one downside is that the hotel does not have a dedicated taxi service that offers fair pricing, as Goan taxi drivers rip you off. "

"The staff were very efficient, friendly, and provided excellent service. The hotel itself felt very safe and secure. However, the surrounding area was not very clean or easy to walk around. Guests also need to arrange private taxis—either on their own or through the hotel—if they want to visit places like Old Goa or the beaches in South Goa. In my opinion, the hotel should have a concierge who can help organize group tours for guests."
