Lovely hotel on the water, lots of polished wood, and nicely styled rooms. Could get very noisy though, depending on the day/night, due to central location.

Great hotel, location and staff

A most enjoyable 9-day stay in this historic hotel right in the centre of Bocas Town. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good and varied, and the restaurant very good too. Given the historic nature of the building, the rooms don't have much drawer storage, but we did have a refrigerator and a good sized ocean-facing balcony. Highly recommended.

Fun stop

Great property, right next to boat dock for Caribe Shuttle and Hello travel Panama. Right in middle of downtown. Very convient to tours, water taxis and mercados. Suprisingly quiet with the AC on, music from next door stopped around 10 pm. They do a quick laundry service for $10. Bed had a slight dip on one side so we used the twin for the second person. Good safe and AC in room. Room was up 2 floors, the staff help with bringing luggage up and down. Good breakfast.

la chambre possède une fenêtre qui donne sur le mur du bâtiment d'à côté. On ne voit même pas le ciel. Autant dire une chambre noire. Il n'y a pas de transat à disposition contrairement à la photo et aucun coin extérieur n'est réservé à l'hôtel pour se poser .Il y a une salle de restaurant mais elle est ouverte à tout le monde. La chambre est donc trop chère par rapport à ces inconvénients

Great little boutique hotel in the heart of Bocas Town. The area around it was a little noisy, but it was interesting watching the boats come and go on the docks. Really great restaurant, Coco. Friendly staff, clean rooms, cold air conditioning and hot showers— we were happy we stayed here and would stay here again.
