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.

This was a great property! Highly recommend getting an oceanfront room. You have your own balcony right over the water with comfy chairs and a table, but with enough space to do yoga. The staff is very friendly and happy. The bar restaurant downstairs is absolutely delicious! The location is right in the middle of everything, you can walk anywhere in town from here. The owner is also very friendly and constantly in and out if you have any questions or want recommendations. We loved our stay!

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.

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.

Can’t recommended this charming property enough. We stayed in a standard room for two nights. It was clean, comfy, perfect location but I regretted not booking one of the rooms with an ocean balcony. We made an inquiry and were in luck. We upgraded to room 11! It was a suite with an entire balcony. Worth every penny, it was so wonderful to sit in evenings watching the water taxis go by while having a beverage. This suite is so spacious (sleeps 5), clean, comfortable. Deck has a table, lounger and patio set. The reception staff here are AMAZING. They attended to every need. I can not say enough about them. I had a medical emergency when staying in Bocas (nothing to sue with hotel). They called a taxi, called ahead to clinic to ensure a doctor was there AND someone who spoke English. I can’t express my gratitude for their kindness. They’re laundry service was quick and professional. We met Carla,the owner, who was kind and personable. So happy we found this gem on Expedia.

The hotel is in a great location - walking distance to everything. I had a nice balcony, the service was great and the breakfast was very good (and included!). My only complaint is that this hotel is loud - I could hear the people above me walking constantly and being in the middle of town it’s never quiet. You cannot sleep here without ear plugs (which they provided).

Great hotel for our small family - 2 adults, 2 young children. The room was really comfortable, air conditioning great, check in was easy and staff were very friendly. The noise at night is loud but was drowned out to an extent by the air con, but not the hotels fault. Good location for water taxis and restaurants. Breakfast was ok - crepes were tasty. Overall a good hotel but a bit expensive for what it was. We ate dinner in the restaurant one evening and food was delicious, it just feels a bit basic with the plastic tables and chairs that wobble.
