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.

Great experience! The place is magic, I ended up extending my stay and changing my plans because I felt at home! I loved the beautiful garden and how quiet the place is! Close to the centre but far enough to enjoy peace and nature. The host and the staff are cheerful and welcoming, always available to help and give you tips to discover the islands. I would definitely come back and recommend to stay here!

Quiet, clean, comfortable with plenty of nice little touches like a three-tiered bathroom caddy for toiletries, and a kitchen cloth. Coffee maker was well used, especially given the quality of the Chiriqui coffee. There's a supermarket literally just on the corner to the right when you come out the building. It is larger than most and stocks fresh fruit, veg, meat, breads and the usual tins and packets etc. Also has 1 gallon bottles of water for $2. Leave the rubbish bin outside the door to be emptied each day; towels and bedding were changed during our stay. Everything was clean and worked. We liked it so much we extended our stay for another 4 nights.

Extremely caring hosts! Great restaurant with scenic setting and great service. You should not search for a better restaurant as this is the best you will get. If you like tranquility and nature this is the place to book. Located out the center of Bocas town, close to Bluff beach. We had the pleasure to find 3 sloths in the garden and different strawberry poison frogs. Clean rooms, specious terrace more you can dream for this price. They even offer laundry service while you are away for the day.
