Pappi Chulo Hostel Goa: Status During Monsoons
Pappi Chulo hostel is not recommended during the monsoon season. The non-ac rooms are very packed with dorm beds making the atmosphere more humid and full of unpleasant odour. Also, the lounge area and the kitchen were dripping all the time when I visited. Goa as a travel destination should not be visited during the rains.
