Stopped here for two weeks Feb 08. Initial impression wasn't good. On arrival allocated a ground floor room which had no natural light and an appalling view of a drain, some rubbish and a wall. Complained and got moved to a room above with a lot more natural light (balcony)and where we could at least see over the wall. This room however had a basic thin door connecting it to the room next door. And you could hear a pin drop next door. Not ideal. But in fairness, room allocation seemed a bit 'pot luck'. Other people we spoke to got better views and rooms with no ajoining rooms seperated by a rickety old thin door.

We went B&B and the breakfast was terrible. On a morning you would usually have to clear your own table wait for cups to arrive so as to make a drink. The toast was like rubber and you had to chase down a waiter just to get your order in. Choice was EGGS. Much all else accept toast, canned juice and cereals yoiu could get but had to pay for it. A pitty really. It seemed as though no thought went into organising breakfast. When all it would of taken was some better organising on the part of the staff. For instance either providing facility to of been able to make your own toast!

The location of the hotel is niether good nor bad seeiong as taxis are so cheap. But if you want a room with a sea view then look else where. If you want a room in the heart of Calangute then look else where, but if you want a room within easy reach by Taxi of Calangute, Candolim and Baga then this might be an option if you are on a budget.

The rooms boys where a class of their own. The room was cleaned everyday with clean towels and everything you'd expect from a 4 star but knowing Somy is only a 2 star. No problems here.

Staff in general are friendly and helpful, accept at breafast time! When Chaos ensues.

Entertainment was infrequent, and repetative. A singer and an Indian theme band every week each week during our stay.

I would not stay here again personally. I would prefer to pay that little bit extra an get that little bit more such as a better view, nearer the beach, better orgainisation of breakfast, and varied more frequent entertainment. But if you are assertive enough (don't be affraid to complain on allocation of room)then maybe you'll get lucky, unlike us.

Plus, right next to the Somy is a lovable little Chinese restraunt where service is very friendly and whose staff appear to have no hidden motive other than to sit and talk and offer up good friendly and informative advice information and general chit chat to those that want it. I would highly recommend visiting it.

beware this hotel gets confused with one of a simular name !! great if you like veiws of children as young as 4 groveling about in a driandoing a spot of recycling at 6am then setting fire to it about 4pm so your room stinks. + side room large shower clean towels staff ok. minus side small pool, miles away from sea +dangerous road.(yes did ask to move rooms manager said no rooms available decorating )in summery i think my dog had a better deal in kennels

Just returned from Somy, location was excellent.

Staff were very friendly. Our room was cleaned daily but not very well. It was very basic as expected.

Our flight was delayed by a day and we were allowed free meals in the hotel but we chose to go elsewhere and pay for our meals as the food in the hotel was not brilliant.

Would not stay there again but definitely going back to Goa.

Only one night out of nine did we see any entertainment advertised.

We have just returned from this "little 2* gem" of a hotel. We stayed on B & B basis and other than having a few snacks which were fine, cannot comment about the quality of the food although what we saw being served looked fine and we heard of no compaints. Breakfast was the usual, juice, coffee and toast although you could pay for extras. The location was ideal for us and had everything you needed nearby - easy to access Candolim,Calangute and Baga from here. The staff were all friendly and polite although some could be a little slow (still waiting for a limca we ordered!!!!)especially if we all arrived en-masse for breakfast. There wasn't a lot of entertainment booked maybe due to being very early in the season and hotel not full but they did have an Indian classical music night which we thoroughly enjoyed - excellent. Also a couple of young lads serenading guests one evening - not our thing but was pleasant enough and they tried there best. The cleanliness of this hotel cannot be praised enough. Of any hotel we have stayed in Goa, the rooms here were the cleanest. Our room had just been re-painted and some were in the process of being done. A good clean pool too but no childrens pool which would possibly put those with very small children off coming here. For a 2 star hotel, this was a little gem and we would have no hesitation in staying again. Any complaints - none at all.

Nice big rooms and very clean.

Staff is very polite and helpful. Not too much noise at night.

We would certainly stay here again.

Nice big rooms and very clean, the usual continental breakfast free with optional extra items, eggs, beans and sausages etc. at a small cost.

Just off the main Calangute to Candolim road almost opposite the Lacoste shop, plenty of shops and restaurants close to hand.

The staff are priceless here, all very helpful and polite, nothing too much trouble for this lot, room cleaned every day to a good standard.

Entertainment didn`t really happen and the bar closed around 11 pm which was fine as we encountered no rowdy late night bangs in the night.

We would definitely stay here again

Stayed for cheap quick one week getaway. Hotel was easy to find and great location approx 10 mins to beach.

Rooms are large with separate kitchen area. Basic but clean with air conditioning and ceiling fan.

We didn't eat in hotel as we have been to Goa before and have other places we regularly visit, but what we heard and saw food looked good.

All staff are lovely and very helpful.

The hotel laid on some entertainment which again seemed ok.

Would definitely vist this hotel again. Lots of shops and bars around hotel.
