Guest Reviews
La Casa de Doña Cata boasts an enviable location right in the heart of Boquete, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. Situated directly in the city center, this hotel provides easy access to everything – from shops, restaurants and markets to bus stops and the main square. Guests often highlight how the hotel's central position places them just minutes away from key attractions and activities, perfect for those eager to explore the area's offerings.
Being right next to the central park and key transportation points, such as bus stops, ensures hassle-free navigation around town. The strategic positioning in Bajo Boquete means guests can enjoy all village activities and departures without needing extensive travel.

Breakfast at La Casa de Doña Cata offers a unique experience centered around DIY pancakes. Guests can enjoy the novelty of making their own pancakes each morning using the provided batter, which some find delightful. Coffee is available all day, complementing the pancake breakfast well. Many appreciate the "all you can eat" aspect, allowing them to prepare as many pancakes as they desire.
However, some guests feel misled by the term "breakfast included," expecting a more traditional breakfast service. The hotel's approach of providing pancake batter and leaving the cooking to guests is seen as economical but should be more clearly communicated on their website and ads to manage expectations better. Despite this, the deliciousness of the pancakes and the availability of coffee add a positive touch to the experience.
La Casa de Doña Cata offers a mix of comfort and simplicity in its room accommodations. Guests have appreciated that the rooms are clean and fairly comfortable with some rooms being spacious or matching their descriptions from booking platforms. Those who stayed in private rooms with showers found these amenities adequate and reflective of good standards for the price.
However, the accommodation does have its drawbacks. Many guests mention the small size of the rooms with dormitory spaces being particularly tight, sometimes feeling crowded and musty. Noise is a frequent issue with some rooms being situated close to bars or nightclubs and having thin walls. The limited number of power outlets in the rooms has also been pointed out, making it inconvenient for guests with multiple devices.
Common areas such as shared bathrooms are another area of concern. There are only two bathrooms available for a relatively large number of guests, which can lead to waits and general dissatisfaction. Moreover, these facilities are sometimes located inconveniently far from the rooms, especially those upstairs.
Despite these issues, those who managed to secure quieter and larger rooms seemed to have a better experience, enjoying the value and cleanliness of their accommodations. La Casa de Doña Cata thus presents a mixed bag, offering reasonable comfort at a fair price but with several areas that could benefit from improvement.
