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.

All rooms are private, some have a terrace, TV, air conditioning and hot water.

A shared kitchen and free Wi-Fi are available. Some accommodation units have a patio with city views.

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.

    Positive vibes from locals in general - mostly hardworking and pleasant people. Unfortunately and in contrast to the general vibe of the islands, our host was extremely rude. We would suggest that you go give your positive energy, enthusiasm to travel and money to other professionals in the region who better deserve that.

    Excelent choice in Bocas Town. Very good location. Close (by walk) to main boat docks and restaurant and bars. In pool area is very good chilli vibe. Staff is really nice and helpful, especially on recepcion. They organized everything for us, even the tours and boat took us on the hotel pier (so you dont need to negotiate with locals on street).

    Brilliant stay here, Thomas is a great host, available with lots of information and tips of how to get to places and where to go. Kitchen was clean and two fridges were available so you never fought for space. Free coffee everyday and hot showers. Laundry was done at a good price for a full basket. Daily cleaning of the room was a lovely surprise too!

    Very beautiful, safe and calm location, design, arrangement, atmosphere, nature (you can observe parrots and hummingbirds while relaxing at the pool), outstanding food (even with good vegetarian options), amazing hosts (Benoit and Fabienne were so friendly, approachable and helpful - we felt as if we were staying with a host family), possibility of renting a kayak for free. We also liked the concept of a slower lifestyle in harmony with nature.
