goSTOPS has launched its first hostel in Panjim, making it the first hostel chain to set up in Goa’s capital. This new property adds to goSTOPS’ existing hostels in Vagator, Baga, and Calangute, marking the brand’s fourth destination in Goa. Located in the vibrant Fontainhas area, goSTOPS Panjim blends the city’s colonial charm with modern amenities, creating a perfect spot for young travelers to explore Goa’s unique mix of culture, history, and nightlife.
The hostel offers 126 beds across 24 rooms, including private options and dorms for mixed or female-only guests. Designed for today’s digital-savvy travelers, it features smart check-ins, a 24/7 café, lively common areas, and a rooftop split into a workspace lounge and an open-air social space with panoramic views of Rio de Ourem and Altinho Hill.
Pallavi Agarwal, CEO of goSTOPS, called the launch a milestone in redefining youth travel in India, aligning with the brand’s goal to quadruple its capacity to 10,000 beds in two years.
