This is a great place to base yourself for a stay in the city. Very clean, very friendly service and a comfortable place to spend time and rest in between excursions to the city.

My wife and I stayed here throughout the 2 weeks of our travels around Panama. It was great to have such a lovely place to come back to and regroup before heading out to another part of the country. We stayed on 3 separate occasions and every time we came back it felt like coming home. Gina was a wealth... more

Balboa Inn was a lovely start to our holiday, being picked up promptly from the airport after a long journey via New York from the UK to being greeted by friendly staff in a lovely quiet residential location in the City.

In 2007, my daughter volunteered at a small town 2 1/2 hours away from Panama City and we had been making plans to visit the country since then. Because she experienced the "real" Panama, we did not want to stay at a chain hotel and wanted to live at a bed and breakfast for the 4 days that we were... more

The best thing about this place was the mornings. The breakfast was good, fresh fruit, bread, juice, eggs etc. It was served on a patio in a beautiful garden that attracted wildlife. Hummingbirds, mannikins, tanagers, parakeets, agoutis, geckos and with some searching, frogs. I could have spent hours just enjoying that. The owner and manager are extremely helpful and friendly... more

The room was lovely and had everything you needed. The low bed (which, for some strange reason, was criticized by another reviewer!!) was... more

First, let me say that I am a resident of Panama City. I booked the room at the Balboa Inn for my visiting brother who I had not seen in many years. When considering options for his visit, I had to rule out my house as other family members had come to visit and there was no room in my... more

My fiancee and myself stayed at the Balboa Inn as part of our overall trip to Panama from December 13-16, and the 19th. Very nice staff and owner who helped us out with any questions we might have had. Gina (manager) was super helpful for any of our needs, and Julian who drove us around including over to Colon was... more
