ALTR NATIV Morjim, Goa

It isn’t in the Main Street and that’s the best part. Where it is located is quaint and almost a bit difficult to find but so worth it. The surroundings are really nice for a stroll. The place is built sustainably with a lot of greenery and loved how considerate the house rules are. We got their signature room and the natural bath tub with the open view is beautiful in the early mornings. You HAVE to try their breakfast shakshuka. The chef was kind enough to share the recipe, it was mindblowing yet homely at the same time. The place looks very thoughtfully and intentionally designed and has so many cats. I’m very glad to have stumbled upon this place and despite my initial apprehension I might be going back to this place more now that I’ve had a taste of it

Really like this place

I initially planned to stay for 3 days but ended up spending over 14 nights in the dorm. Honestly, this has been one of my best stays ever. Beyond the rooms or the property, it's the people and the atmosphere that make this place unique. Vishwa and Urja from management are fantastic to interact with—always present, very approachable, and they somehow make the hostel feel more like a home you stumble upon while traveling. I reconnected with old friends, made many new ones, and nearly every night found myself around the cafe table chatting about life, travel, work, relationships, and random topics well past the intended time. Those conversations are probably what I'll cherish most. The place has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. You can spend your day doing your own thing, but by evening, everyone somehow gathers together. Even after two weeks, I never really wanted to leave. I came looking for a bed for 3 nights and left with memories, stories, and people I expect to keep in touch with for a long time. Bonus: the property has cats, games, an excellent cafe, the best coffee, and all the essentials like irons, laundry, bike rentals, and more.

Altr Nativ offered a truly peaceful stay. It exudes a quiet luxury that is warm, cozy, and authentic. As an artist, I appreciate encountering places where every detail seems deliberate and carefully crafted, and I understand they are just beginning! I'm also eager to see what additions they make to their design store. The food was excellent, and I particularly enjoyed exploring some unique tea flavors from their selection. The cats roaming the grounds add a delightful touch, making it feel like only kind people are around. It's a beautiful, thoughtful spot that I look forward to visiting again.

I initially intended to stay only 2 days but ended up staying a full week, which probably says a lot about this place! The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff are very kind and welcoming, and the overall environment is calm and cozy. It's one of those spots where you immediately feel at home and don't want to leave. I had an excellent time here and would certainly suggest it to anyone seeking a relaxed, friendly, and tranquil hostel experience.
