I recently stayed at the Bridge and Tunnel Hotel in Palolem Beach, Goa, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory.
Pros: The only redeeming feature of this hotel is the location. The view is absolutely fabulous, and the beach is right in front of you, just 50 meters away. If you’re looking for a place to stay right on the beach, the proximity is unbeatable. The price of ₹2700 per night is somewhat reasonable considering the beachfront location.
Cons: Room Quality: While the room was clean upon arrival, it was extremely small and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, I encountered big rats in the room at night, which turned the stay into a nightmare. Lack of Amenities: No TV, no room service, and no food service were available. Hot water was not consistently available—you had to call reception every time to request it. While they did turn it on promptly, this was inconvenient. Housekeeping was non-existent, and they didn’t clean the room during my stay. Restaurant: No hotel’s restaurant is there, and nearby restaurants are overpriced. Eating out felt like a struggle due to the inflated food costs in the area. Customer Service: There was hardly anyone around to assist or attend to guests. The lack of staff and their indifferent attitude made the stay less pleasant. Safety Concerns: Strange scary sounds during the night added to the discomfort.
Conclusion: If you’re traveling with family, I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel due to the lack of cleanliness, basic amenities, and poor customer service. However, if you’re traveling with friends and just want a cheap stay for the sake of the location and the view, it might be manageable. Personally, I wouldn’t stay here again with my...

Read moreAmazing scenery, beautiful beach, fabulous food, superb staff, what more could you ask. Oh, and Perfect sunset past your front door, amazing. If you are looking for a week of complete relaxation this is the place,great value too.||We stayed at Bridge N Tunnel for 4 days and loved every minute. It exceeded our expectations - we were looking for a beach experience that was not busy or noisy or crowded with beautiful scenery and a sense of remoteness and that is what we got. ||||The beach hut we had was great with a lovely Balcony where we spent many a happy hour reading and chatting. The bathroom facilities are basic but clean If you are looking for a luxury accommodation experience then do not come here - go to a five star hotel. But if you want to go to bed at night listening to the waves crash onto the beach and wake up looking at the sea in utter peace and quiet then you will enjoy Bridge N Tunnel. ||Food was excellent and the service was efficient, cheerful and always prompt. The staff could not have been more helpful. Specially Dum Biryani and cocktails are out of the world.I also loved the massage facilities in palolem beach(Guru Ayurvedic Clinic).||We hired a scooter and used to go on trips to near by beaches like agonda and cola.Over all Bridge N Tunnel is a perfect place if u would like to enjoy the waves and beautiful sunset. I highly...
