Home away from home. From the minute you enter the gate you feel comfort as you're greeted with warm owners and beautiful cats and dogs! I moved into the hostel 2 months back. The rooms are clean and there's different rooms for different budgets. You can share with someone or get an independent room with or without a washroom as per your budget and comfort. There's a shared pantry equipped with a fridge and induction, it has enough space to make your own meals. The hostel also provides breakfast and dinner which saves a lot of time and effort everyday. The dinner always consists of a very balanced diet including chapatis, rice, dal, 2 vegetables, pickle, curd and there's always either chicken, fish or boiled eggs. Breakfast has chapatis, a vegetable, toast, pav, butter, jam and tea. Everyone's birthday is celebrated with cake, ice cream and songs which really makes you feel at home. The garden in the back also has a washing machine and an area to dry clothes. The owner's are very kind and always there to speak to if you have any problems, they remind me of my grandparents and as I'm diabetic, they're always making sure I'm eating right and they're also very respectful. The location is great too as it's a 10 minute walk from Mapusa Bus Stand and there's also buses outside the main gate of the hostel every 15 minutes that go to the bus stand if you don't feel like walking, plus there's parking if you have your own transport. There's grocery shops, vegetable/fruit vendors and a pharmacy right outside the hostel. All in all, Sevilha Sousa Girls Hostel is the perfect place if you're new to Goa and looking for an all girls stay.

Daughter stays there. Says she loves it. People are friendly and the hosts are extremely helpful.
