Located in Bocas del Toro, 2.6 km from Y Griega Beach, Castillo Inspiracion Hostel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, free shuttle service and a shared kitchen, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The guest house has private entrance.

I can highly recommend this place for anyone coming to Bocas Del Toro! The hosts are fantastic and so so helpful. The castle is really cool, they have lovely double rooms with private en-suites or you can stay in the dorms. There is a big kitchen which is very clean and has everything you need to cook. The pool is the star of the show, it is fantastic to spend a day by it and there is a bar that you can swim up to- we even got a welcome drink! The slide is so much fun, even for adults, it is fast and high up! It is easy to get a taxi into town and the hosts will give you lifts too. Andrea is buying a mini bus to transport guests very shortly so that will make it even easier!

Hostal Hansi is in Bocas del Toro, 17 minutes' walk from El Istmito Beach. It is 50 meters from the docks.

Rooms are equipped with a safe, some offer a balcony. At the hostel or guest house, rooms include bed linen and towels.

Hostal Hansi is very well situated in Bocas' center, 30 m to water taxis, a lot of restaurants and supermarkets around, 100 m to buses to the beaches. Very practical. There's a new owner since 8 months who strives to improve all the equipments. I had a double deluxe room, good size with new ventilator on the ceiling and air condition, a small terrace with table and 2 chairs, some coat hangers, nightstand. The large double bed is comfortable, also the pillows. The bathroom has a good size with hot shower and shelves. The common kitchen has 2 sinks and 2 gas stoves, so we can be cooking all together at the same time. The fridge is very clean. There is inside a place with a number corresponding to your room. There are 2 tables and chairs near the reception and some tables and chairs outside on a large terrace facing the street. Good vibe. All tourists and owner very friendly. My favourite beach on Bocas del Toro: Bluff beach. To go to Boquete I recommend the trip boat and shuttle via Chiriqui grande better than Almirante. Buy the ticket at Pana Bocas officina next to the police station 50 m from Hansi.

    The price is very cheap, especially for a private room. Hostel was pretty quiet and chill. Kitchen was well equipped and there’s plenty of refrigeration space. Staff were helpful. Located very close to restaurants, bars, clubs and boat taxi harbours.

    It was just lovely and Gabriel was the most fantastic host. He couldn't do enough to help and was utterly charming. The room was a good size and clean. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and a very tasty omlette.

    Very nice accomodation with great hosts, good cocktails, great pool, big garden and great food. The host built the whole thing by themselves, which is very impressing. We stayed at the big bungalow and it was simply perfect. If you want to relax and calm down this is the place to be. Food is not cheap but very good! I can totally recommend this place and would love to stay there again pretty soon!

    Sandrine was a great host, she made amazing breakfast in the morning with crepes and fresh fruit. Having breakfast with a beautiful view was the highlight of our stay :) The rooms were clean and spacious, with all amenities. There was always fresh drinking water available. There are bicycles that you can borrow that makes it very easy to get to restaurants/groceries/etc. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend Villa Amaya 10/10.

    Sally and Mike are great hosts! Very friendly, very helpful, it was an amazing stay overall. The whole place is very cosy, comfortable, rooms and bathrooms are very spacious, clean and cute and with AC! You can also borrow snorkle and kayak and rent bikes and they give you great tips on places to visit nad eat. The best place for a 'honeymoon' stay in Bocas if you look for a quiet place where you can jump in the water right after breakfast :)

    One of the best all round apartments I’ve ever stayed in, particularly on an island. Extremely well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches around the place to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Great location, quiet but near everything. Brilliant host! Very friendly and helpful person who will go out of her way to make everything perfect for your stay and give advice on what to do/where to go. The bikes included with the apartment were also a big bonus for getting around the island.

    We had a perfect stay at Saigon Bay B&B. Comfortable and clean rooms, amazing breakfasts, great location over the water with lovely outdoor space, we could use bikes, a kayak and snorkelling gear to explore the island. Angie and Nicolas are great hosts. Always ready to help and super friendly and attentive. We’re definitely coming back here when visiting Bocas again. Thanks for everything!
