We have been to the Goa three times now and always stayed at the Osbourne.
The staff there are fantastic the rooms are basic but spotlessly clean and my family and I will be going back for many years to come.

We stayed in phase 2 I think it was!! The staff were very friendly and were always there when you needed them. The room was very basic as I had a ground floor room.
I was on my own right at the end of the block which didnt bother me just that the room was tiny and that i didnt have much room for all my stuff. Always had a good night sleep. But one thing that did worry me was that the bathroom window led onto the pool and as it was dark by the time we had a shower everyone that was eating there dinner could see into my bathroom. Another point would be that the boiler for the hot water was right next to the shower.
The food was nice what we had from the hotel but the entertainment was not really my thing.

Great hotel we stayed for three weeks in January. From checking in to cheking out the staff could not do enough for you.
The rooms are basic, we were in phase 2 if you look in the First Choice Tropical the second floor balcony on the left was our room.
tThe room was cleaned every day with fresh towels and bedding. I dont know if all the rooms are the same in this block but in our room the was 2 arm-chairs a table, as you walked in then 2 beds dressing table (with draws)and bed side cabenets. There was another room off this that seemed to be a kitchen with just a sink and fridge in it.
The fridge was stocked with soft drinks, beer and water which you could buy for not much more than super market prices. This to was stocked daily as you used it. Off this room was the bathroom again basic but always clean with constant hot water.
The hotel food was fine, we really only had snack food in the hotel but both the Indian and English snacks were good and not costly. The beer was aso cold and cheep. The location was also good plenty of taxis outside to take you to either calangute or candolim.
A couple of bars near reception or just a short walk to the main road plenty of small bars and good eating places. Again plenty of taxis around here to. The beach was about 10 ~15 mins away depending on what part you wanted to go.
We walked down holiday road to the beach so you can always stop for a drink on the way down.
Not a lot to say about the entertainment had pub singers on most nights also barbacue evenings that are'nt to bad if you don't fancy going out.
Would def go back to this hotel great value for money we paid less than

My husband and I stayed at the Osbourne 6.01.06 for 3 weeks. What can I say about this hotel, except that its great. Rooms basic but does that matter you only sleep and change there. Cleanliness (A Star) Facilities excellent.
Staff well they made our holiday, Our room boy (sandeep) was lovely, friendly and nothing too much trouble for him.
Security Staff were excellent especially Chotu (I don't think that was his real name).
WILL DEFINATLEY BE BOOKING FOR NEXT YEAR.
PS had all the laundry done at the hotel 2 days before we came home,(to save me a job when i got back)
It was washed, ironed and folded to an excellent standard. Would definitely recommend this as so cheap.
If any one goes to the Osbourne before we go again say hello to sandeep and chotu for us.

As it was my first time to Goa I didnt know what to expect,the hotel was very clean clean towels and bedsheets daily, the bed and breakfast is a bit of a con as its only tea, coffee and toast but you can order different things for breakfast at a cost but as its that cheap it didnt really matter.
The staff at the hotel is excellent and very very friendly the entertainment was ok but as we rarely stopped in the hotel at night I can hardly comment.

Was in Goa the year before and stayed in a hotel very close to the Osborne resort and that was a 3 star but
the Osborne was so much better.
Nice and clean excellent staff. I love the place so much I have just sold my home and I am off to Goa in November to buy a property.
This hotel has a lot to offer try it and you will not be disapointed.
P.s i am a travel agent working for First Choice and the amount of people I have sent who have re booked is
amazing.

Staff were very friendly and helpful.
James and Eric were stars. Had a nice but basic room on the ground floor and every morning the waiters brought our breakfast to us on our balcony. So cool.
Went out at night to the bistro on Baga beach mainly, which is owned by our very good friend Cagey. Would recommend his bbq on a Thursday night.
Hotel was very clean as was the pool. Will definitely be staying there again.

The hotel was great and it was all really clean.The room boys come in every day and made beautiful patterns with our towels.
The food was ok but very basic but that made no difference because we ate out nearley every night. Our hotel was in a great location with taxis outside and there was a few really great taxi drivers and they were Andu,Peter,and Preshan.
The staff in the hotel were great and were always willing to help you.there were two inparticular and they were raj and hillary.there was always something happening at the hotel in the night like live music and barbecues but as I said me and my family ate out most of the time.
I would love to go there to live but I am only young, but my sister has gone out to live with her son and he's at school picking up the language.
I have been out there twice and booked to go back out in november 05 but overall I loved the Psborne and cant wait to go back.
