This place in Fontainhas, Goa's Latin Quarter, is the perfect pitstop to keep that energy alive. Spread across three floors, the hostel has 126 beds and 24 rooms.
Guests can choose between private rooms and mixed, or female-only, dorms, all tied together by a teeming community spirit that makes solo trips feel like squad goals.
Some key features of the hostel include a smart, paperless check-in process, pre-assigned bed allotments, a 24/7 cafe, an in-hostel chatroom, ticketing support and lively common areas, where guests can chat and engage with fellow travellers and backpackers.
A standout feature of goSTOPS Panjim is its unique split rooftop. One side houses an air-conditioned amphitheatre-style lounge with workstations, perfect for digital nomads and content creators.
The other offers an open-air space with a pool table and panoramic views of Rio de Ourem and Altinho Hill.
Whether you’re down for sunrise yoga with a view or spontaneous jam sessions under the stars, the vibe here never dips.
The hostel officially opened its doors to travellers who want the best of Goa — from heritage feels to happening hangouts — without having to pick just one vibe.
So, pack your bags and get ready to make your vacation more meaningful with goSTOPS in Panjim.
