Wenn man keine großen Ansprüche hat und hier nur schlafen und duschen möchte, dann ist diese Unterkunft völlig in Ordnung und ausreichend. Die Damen an der Rezeption sind wirklich sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die die das Frühstück zu bereiten können leider kein Wort englisch und sind nicht sehr Kompromiss bereit. Beim Frühstück gibt es leider keine sehr große Auswahl für 1 Woche Aufenthalt ist das aber nicht schlimm. Die Lage des Hostels ist super man hat alles was man benötigt in nähster Nähe.

Liked: Staff & service

Poco costosa

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo ma prenotando direttamente presso la struttura si risparmiano circa 15 $ al giorno. Dalle ricerche fatte resta comunque la più economica di bocas del toro city. Questa struttura si trova in ottima posizione: sulla via centrale, vicino al parco cittadino e poco distante dal traghetto. La stanza è spoglia, poco curata e vecchiotta ... ma questa è la media de che ho incontrato negli hotel di media categoria a panama. Colazione compresa nel prezzo. Ottima veranda panoramica

Hay mejores opciones por el mismo precio

El Hotel. Tiene buena ubicación. Pero es un edificio viejo sin mantenimiento, y en no muy buenas condiciones. Desayuno. Se ofrece desayuno, pero el mismo es de mala calidad; el area donde se sirve el desayuno posee buena vista pero el mobiliario es de muy mala calidad. La habitación. El ruido de la calle se escucha dentro de la habitación. Las cortinas en mal estado. El colchón ya está muy deteriorado, las toallas deben renovarlas. Wifi. Hay buena cobertura, pero debe mejorar la velocidad. El personal. Muy atento y servicial, deberían hacerles un uniforme para que se vean mejor. Siempre atentos a colaborar en todo. Resumen Hay mejores hoteles por el mismo precio en la misma zona.

Awful hotel

First of all I'd like to say that the hotel rooms do not look like the did in the pics on expedia. No little table with a flower, no plain white or blue sheets with decorative pillows. The sheets were child themed mismatched and you only get one flat PILLOW. The mattresses were uncomfortable also. The noise level was horrendous because carnival was going on right in front of the hotel tho any time the noise from the streets was loud. Only positive thing I can say as that the front desk lady was very nice and the hotel is convenient to other places in town. Small breakfast cooked by unfriendly ladies also. One towel with one bar of soap. No hand towel or washcloth.

Central to everything and good value for money

The hotel is obviously not a 5 star hotel rather than an economic hotel with excellent value for the money and includes free breakfast. There are no elevators but accesible by stairs, The room was clean and had well functioning AC and bathroom with hot water. Fresh towels and cleaning every day.

Cómo es el Hotel Reef

Cuando llegas el recibidor deja muchas dudas, las áreas comunes básicamente son pasillos y escaleras, tiene una cocina bien equipada para uso de los huéspedes, algo muy importante en bocas, si quieres ahorrar porque la comida es lo mas caro, la habitación muy limpia y cómoda, estuvimos en la Delux que es muy amplia, el A/C enfría muy bien, el desayuno muy bueno, la relación precio- beneficio muy bien, de volver a bocas me vuelvo a hospedar ahí, no tenían cobijas y mi novia paso un poco de frío, pero termine perdiendo el debate y fui yo quien paso calor.

Great inexpensive hotel

The rooms and bathrooms are small and old. However, the staff keeps them clean. (Besides, I didn't come to Bocas to hangout in my hotel room!) The terrace is fantastic, with views of water in every direction. And the complimentary full breakfast is great. The cook didn't speak much English nor I much Spanish, but I got my breakfast cooked the way I wanted it anyway.
