Ticlo resort is good basic accommodation, the rooms cleaned daily, towels changed every 2 days.

Breakfast the standard tea n toast, you can have a full breakfast at extra charge.

The hotels location is very central to Calangute, and on the Baga road. The beach a 5- 10 walk away.

We had a room at the back of the hotel and had no road/ traffic noise.

The staff were friendly and efficient, had some nice meals at the hotel.

I would stay there again, depending if Calangute changes too much.

First time in Hotel Ticlo and found it to be a great base, standard 2 star Goan hotel with friendly staff.

Rooms are large with a separate lounge area with tv (although I believe not all rooms have tv) and balcony. Although on the main road our room was quiet. Our room had no A/C but had a ceiling fan in the bedroom and the lounge. It was probably just our room, but I found the fan to be not that effective so to cool down we just left all doors and windows open as well. Rooms were cleaned every day and contrary to previous review we had clean sheets and towels every day. The only complaint was I don't think the floors were cleaned too well, but when you see the broom things they have to use it's not that surprising. Rooms also have a cheap mini bar which is restocked every day. The bathroom is of the type where there is no bath or shower cubicle so the bathroom floor gets soaked when you have a shower. I found this slightly annoying as when you then go into the bathroom with shoes on the floor gets filthy. I believe this is normal though although on my 2 previous visits the hotels I have stayed in have had baths or cubicles.

I never ate in the hotel but every night there was some kind of entertainment and meal/BBQ which was always busy so it must have been good. The Infantaria bakery is right across the road for those who don't make it up in time for breakfast. They do everything from cakes, pastries to beans on toast and tetley tea. Just the thing for a hangover. Although saying that, the hotel breakfast has tetley tea too.

Location is great, on Baga Rd just off Calangute main street at the roundabout. It's probably about 15mins walk into Baga if you can ever be bothered. I'd rather pay the rps 50 in a taxi!

For anyone who likes the pool, the pool here is quite shady so not ideal for sunbathing, but then you should be at the beach anyway!

Overall a good cheap base which I would have no problem going back to, although I think next time I will try and stay in Baga.
