Incredibly hot room even with two fans, made it very difficult to sleep. Repetitive breakfast. I was there for a week and it was always pancakes with a few bits of banana and papaya. They could change it a bit. Also, they never changed the bedsheets the entire time I was there. Pretty sure there were bedbugs because I always woke up with biting marks on my feet.

Haben wirklich schon viel erlebt, aber eine derartige Baracke ohne warmes Wasser und unzähligen Bettwanzen war menschenunwürdig. Natürlich ist das ein Hostel und die Ansprüche sind erwartungsgemäß im unterschwelligen Bereich. Denken jedoch, dass Freundlichkeit und Wertschätzung hier indiskutabel sind. Wir verzichten lieber darauf weiteres an dieser Stelle hinzuzufügen, einfach nur eine schreckliche Erfahrung!

I think the bed had bedbugs, cause I had inching and bites on my back. La cama me toco privada en pleno sábado de carnaval y fue muy buena, excepto que me dió picazón y amanecí con picadas o mordidas rojas en mi espalda.

Vibe Analysis
Spanish by the Sea - Bocas is a quiet hostel in a central spot in Bocas Town, close to supermarkets, the center, and the docks, while staying away from party noise. It has a large kitchen, roomy dorms, and shared spaces with hammocks and places to relax. There is a calm, social feel here, and the hostel also offers Spanish classes plus help with tours and taxis. Breakfast is usually a pancake with fruit, and there is a water dispenser for cheap refills. Rooms are basic and use fans instead of air conditioning, so heat can be a problem at night. Bathrooms and showers are often clean and there are usually enough of them, but comfort can vary by room.
