This place is so pretty! Thank you for having me. The rooms are just what is needed and comfortable, really nice hot shower. Friendly hospitality and breakfast and it’s in such a peaceful location! I didn’t feel like I was in the city!

i loved the pool area with lots of green bushes & trees. William ( the care taker ) was extremely attentive and did his absolute best to accommodate me. Thank you William.

Achiaz United States of America

It was a last minute stay before an early morning flight- great value, comfy firm bed, AC worked well. Great residential neighborhood with lots of mature trees and a ton of birds in the morning. Watched two hummingbirds catch flies in the yard while I ate breakfast.

Elizabeth United States of America

I liked the quietness of the location. I liked the greenness of the location, I liked the birdiness of the location. For me it was the perfect spot.

John United States of America

The staff was very friendly and cooperative. Breakfast is available as well as drinks on site. The pool is in a good location and if it rains all seating areas are covered.

Newcomb United States of America

We needed a place to stay reasonably close to the ferry to Contadora Island that we were taking the next morning. As we were not going to be in the hotel very long we just wanted a quiet place to sleep at a reasonable price. Didn't need to be fancy. Balboa Inn met all those requirements. It's in a lovely residential area. Although we didn't get to use it it looked liked they had a very nice outdoor area in the back.

Mark United States of America

Quiet location. Lots of local birds. We stay here when we can on our trips to Panama.

Albert United States of America

Nice lovation. Native birds everywhere, and a little Agouti roams the neighborhood. My wife and daughter love staying here. I have stayed here several times over the last several years.

Albert United States of America

Friendly and very accommodating staff, clean bright room with great air flow, beautiful outdoor common area with gardens & pool. Located in a quiet and lush residential area with lots of birds, short cab / even walking distance to some lovely hikes as well as Casco Viejo.

Neighborhood info

Our property is situated in the "canal zone" although we are close to the city we our in a quiet safe residential area with a lovely tropical feel. We are very close to Cerro Ancon where you can enjoy a walk directly from the hotel and see sloths, monkeys variety of birds species like Tucans and a fabulous view of the city from the top of the hill. Also close by Casco Viejo the "colonial quarters"of Panama you can see old churches, beautiful buildings and lots of nice restaurants, Amador cause way, Bio museo which tells the story of panama and the Miraflores visitors center where you can see the large vessels begin or end their transit and see the lock gates open and close. You can also enjoy a walk at the metropolitan national park. If you fancy a beach day take the fast ferry to Taboga where you can get a close up of the large vessels waiting in the canal to pass thru the locks .The ferry is a five min taxi ride from the hotel.
