For 2-3 days it is nice to be accommodated here.

The common kitchen is well equipped (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, cutlery, plates) and some coffee and clean water is always available for free. The area is very safe, the staff is very friendly.

The outdoor entertainment venue right next to the hotel blares music until dawn, and it is almost impossible to sleep even with the windows closed. There is no breakfast at the accommodation, they give you a coupon for the bar of the neighboring hotel, where you can choose from portioned menus (you STILL HAVE TO pay 5 usd). The breakfast is not very rich for this amount of money, it is better to look around the city (and highly recommended!)!

Centrally located and friendly staff

The property was located well and the staff was very friendly. Affordable laundry service. The lounge area is big and has lots of spaces to relax or do some work.

In the weekend the local disco plays music very loud and you will hear it in your room. We were prepared thanks to the reviews and brought earplugs. Our room was very hot, it would be great if they could provide extra standing fans for the rooms. The fridge in the lounge area wasn’t very clean. Would be good to include in the house rules to keep the fridge clean and have people who check out remove their items. WiFi was excellent the two days that it worked for us. The last day it didn’t work for us.

Central location close to ferry, eateries and shops

The property is a short walk from the ferry terminal and is very close to where you can do boat trips to the other islands. Restaurants and shops are close by. The room was small and older, but comfortable and clean. The shared living space and kitchen were clean and handy. Also very close to the airport. Drinking water provided in the kitchen and a discounted breakfast at an adjacent property.

As all places in Bocas, especially on this island, it is a bit smelly and noisy and you cannot drink the tap water. Not a complaint, but just to go in with realistic expectations.

City center with its best and worst

It was right on the main street, very close everywhere. The bed was comfortable. The room was tiny but we knew when we booked so it was all right. The place has wonderful balconies on both sides so you can chill there and enjoy. We watched the Christmas parade from on of them and it was awesome.

Bocas is a party city and one night out of three we could get any sleep due to super loud music outside till 4AM.

it was okay.

It had great views, great location and balconies were amazing!

The bathroom was extremely small and for some reason my room would have a weird “bathroom” smell even though it was not dirty, the bed sheets were too thin, I got cold at some point at night, room could use a bigger mirror.

nicely located (bring earplugs though), and friendly staff!

The ceiling fan wasn’t strong enough so it stayed very hot in the room all night.

Very good

You get a brochure from the hotel to go to a restaurant and it's a great place to eat.

Everything was well.

Expensive for being a hostel.

I was lucky because I had views to the sea, but that just happens with rooms 4 and 2. The rest of the bedrooms are really small and they don’t have any views.

Too expensive for being a hostel (around 55$/night) and it needs refurbishment.

Superb

The staff were great and the rooms and hotel were kept very clean. Location is convenient to everything. Free drinking water was a plus!

Not the hotel's fault, but the bar in front was playing loud music throughout the night. Ear plugs help though.

Loud and central

The terrace right over the ocean with hammocks was great! Great place to do your morning yoga looking over the water. It’s right in the city center! So great for going out. There’s a club right across the street. Which is great if you want to party yourself. Staff was nice and helpful too! Good shower with hot water. They cleaned the room every day.

The windows don’t close so all the sounds from the clubs and bars get right into your room. The room we slept in was also tiny for two people! I think she mixed up the booking and thought I was on my own. On the toilet you couldn’t sit normally because your legs would touch the wall in front of you.

Clean, well-kept hostel in central location.

Very well-located in the centre of Bocas Del Toro, so it was a quick walk to water taxis, restaurants, grocery stores, and bars. The room was spacious and well-kept. We loved sitting out on the front and back terraces.

There is no air conditioning and only a ceiling fan, so the room gets pretty warm at night. Because of central location, there is a lot of noise at night (particularly on weekends). While the property manager and cleaner were friendly, the woman working at reception told us outright she "did not have time" to help us.

Kind staff but facilities were very poor, the rooms extremely noisy and hot. Would not recommend it

the staff was rather friendly

It was extremely noisy all night long (trucks roaring and very loud music). We even moved to a different room, but no escaping the noise. Beds were uncomfortable, it was hard to reach the staff and reception, it was very hot in the room, location was not so good, no breakfast, room and bathroom was extremely basic, lots of things were broken. on the photos it looked like it had a front terrace at the seaside and a pool, but this part was not open to guests. In other words, I wont be going back there, ever.
