“Quiet gem outside the noisy centre.”
We liked this so much that we booked extra nights here. The fact it's not in the centre of Bocas town makes it quiet. The coffee-maker was a lovely thought and much-used, and everything was great. Handy supermarket literally less than a minute round to the right; easy to catch a taxi from town ($2) and equally easy to walk if you don't have heavy packs. Check-in time is clearly communicated, but you can dump bags if need to. Else just stay in the centre and have lunch or cold drinks in a cafe before heading out. The rooms are peaceful, air-con works, the kitchen area has everything you need (more than most other similar kitchenettes we experienced) and the people are absolutely lovely whether by email or in person.

“Lovely quiet comfortable place to stay - highly recommend it :)”
Quiet, clean, comfortable with plenty of nice little touches like a three-tiered bathroom caddy for toiletries, and a kitchen cloth. Coffee maker was well used, especially given the quality of the Chiriqui coffee. There's a supermarket literally just on the corner to the right when you come out the building. It is larger than most and stocks fresh fruit, veg, meat, breads and the usual tins and packets etc. Also has 1 gallon bottles of water for $2. Leave the rubbish bin outside the door to be emptied each day; towels and bedding were changed during our stay. Everything was clean and worked. We liked it so much we extended our stay for another 4 nights.

“smelly accommodation in a good location”
The location is pretty good, not far from the town centrum, next to a shop. Lady, looking after the place is really nice and can speak english. The room itself has a kitchen with coffee maker and fridge, which was really good. Bed is comfortable.

“More than expected”
The hostel has a family atmosphere, perfect to rest. The room was clean and had more than expected for a hostel (minibar, microwave, private bathroom).
