We stayed at The Osborne over Easter this year. Found the rooms to be basic, but clean and spacious, we were in phase 2. The sheets were changed daily and the beds were rock hard, as they usually are in Goa. We didn't stay around the hotel a lot as when in Goa we like to go out a lot,... more

My husband and I stayed in the Osborne Hotel in April this year. We asked about air conditioning when we arrived at the hotel, and were told it would cost £150 for two weeks. We refused.

The hotel was very good we stayed in the phase two section everything was clean but basic B+B is a bit deceptive though because all thing other than toast cost extra. The hotel is in a good position in calangute although near by baga has a bit more to offer. Also there is taxis outside of the hotel and they... more

We have just come back from Goa, after having 14 days of none stop laughter!...I travelled with my husband, brother and sister-in-law. We opted to get a taxi from the airport, which was a great start to the holiday. The driver took us through typical Goan villages, where pigs and cows roam free! The driving is pretty hairy....so beware! The... more
