'Panjim Inn, Fontainhas, Panjim' - 08 Sep 2016Panjim Inn is a classic example of the architectural heritage the Portuguese left behind in Goa. Once a stately residence, the heritage hotel with its deep maroon walls and white trimmings is now a prominent landmark in the area. Curl up with a book on the antique wooden four-poster beds, or browse through the exhibitions at the in-house Gallery Gitanjali, an art gallery that hosts workshops, poetry readings and book launches. Panjim Inn is run by WelcomHeritage, a chain that has two other properties in the city: the adjacent Panjim Pousada, and Panjim Peoples, which was Goa’s first English school. |

'A slice of Panjim hospitality' - 17 Sep 2011Panjim Inn is a delightful hotel located within the chromatically and architecturally stunning Panjim city! It's the dramatic colour that envelopes a visitor to Panjim and creates the exuberant atmosphere. Nestled within this environment are other Goan villas that have been converted into small hotels and bed and breakfast inns. Yet the Panjim Inn stands out in the landscape of decaying heritage homes as a well preserved and comfortable hotel. Panjim Inn was among the earliest large homes of the Fontainhas and was built in the 1800's by Francis Assis D'Silveira. His descendant Jack Ajit Sukhija is the partner of the hotel and is a pleasant person who manages the Panjim Inn today. |

Panjim Inn amongst World's 50 best-budget-boutique-hotels - 22 Jan 2011Hidden among the narrow lanes of the Latin Quarter in Panaji, the capital of Goa, this grand colonial townhouse dates from the early 1800s and is still owned by the original Goan family. Each of its 24 rooms has a wonderful old-world charm, with period furniture, sepia family photos and (in some) carved four-poster beds. The same family runs the beautiful Panjim Pousada across the road, an old Hindu house with nine rooms. |

Rough Guides ReviewThe Rough Guides lists the Panjim Inn as a ”Must See“ Heritage House on a Goa visit for its Period Furniture & the Quality of the Restoration Rough Guides, 5th Edition, Goa Guide We list a lot of places, of course, but only a few qualify for a special recommendation of this kind, which highlights your establishment as one of the author's favouries. In order to draw attention to the fact, I'm enclosing a "Rough Guide recommends " sticker ..........Martin Dunsford, Publishing Director Grand 300-year - old townhouse, now managed as a homely heritage hotel, with period furniture, sepia family photos, balconies and a common veranda where meals and drinks are served to guests. The same family runs the even more beautiful Panjim Pousada, across the road, an old Hindu house which gives you the chance sample what Panjim must have. Panjim Peoples : The Panjims Inn's latest "heritage" venture, opposite the original house (see above) occupies a former high school. It's more upmarket than their other two wings, but no less appealing for that. The rooms are huge, fitted with antique rosewood furniture, gilded pelmets and lace curtains, and the bathrooms feature the Sukhija family's hallmark crazy-mosaic tiling. Tariffs mid-season start at around Rs5000 per night. |

Frommer's ReviewSituated in Panjim's historic Fontainhas district, these are the only authentically Goan guesthouses in Panjim. Retired engineer Ajit Sukhija and his son Jack provide warm Goan hospitality, regaling you with local history while proudly pointing out family photographs. The best option is the recently opened Panjim People's, a four-room heritage hotel (until recently a prominent local school) with spacious rooms and modern bathrooms; ask for the room in which Ajit's mother's lovely rosewood four-poster bed is the centerpiece. There's nothing particularly luxurious about the restored colonial-era Hindu Pousada, but it offers a taste of Panjim's 19th-century upper-class lifestyle (along with hot water). The simple rooms are furnished with antiques (including four-poster beds) arranged around an empty courtyard. Windows and balconies look onto the back streets and backyards of Panjim's old "Latin Quarter." The Pousada's older Catholic sister, Panjim Inn, is located on an old family property dating back to 1880; as with the Pousada, rooms vary in size and price, so it's best to look around before deciding. You can also browse the latest offering, Gallery Geetanjali, which showcases up-and-coming artists. |

Guide Du RoutardPanjim Inn: Dans une ancienne maison portugaise, absolument superbe, 12 chambres meublees a I’ancienne et vraiment a croquer (on s’y sent comme chez grand-mere). Toutes avec salle de bains et ventilo. Tres calme et proprete de riguer. Petite galerie d’art au ler etage : on aime ou n’ame pas ce qui est expose, mais I’idee est sympa. Pas de telephone ni de TV, une paix royale. Personnel aussi charmant que le lieu! Un autre batiment, appele, dans un style tres different, plus aere, entoure d’un patio resemble egalement a un veritable bijou. A vous de choisir votre style. C’est une de nos meilleures adresses car le rapport qualite-prix y est excellent, quoiqu’un peucher. |
