Why us?

Pacific entrance of Panama Canal and Balboa area

Location - location - location. In a quiet residential neighborhood, yet close to everything you might need with public transport or a simply walk. Visit the Metropolitan park in the morning, go to Amador just before lunch and after lunch visit the Miraflores visitor center. You can do 2-3 things a day easily while staying at the Balboa Inn.

Another day you can spend the morning in the Casco Viejo - a 5-minute taxi ride away - or walk up to the top of Ancon Hill, located right behind the Balboa Inn. Quite an enjoyable hike which will reward you with beautiful views of the city's skyline and the Panama Cana.

Helpful & friendly staff
The Balboa Inn is an (Dutch-)owner-operated B&B where guest satisfaction comes first. Together with our excellent multi-national staff from Panama, the US and Colombia, our team is there to assist you in making the most out of your time in Panama.

Peace and quietness versus....
And another great reason to stay with us is to avoid this:

If you want to avoid scenes like this on your way to or from your hotel, stay at the Balboa Inn

This kind of madness simply doesn't occur in Balboa. Why be surrouinded by street noise and traffic when you can hear the birds sing around the Balboa Inn?

Great facility
Our 7 rooms (9, starting June) are nicely finished, its bathrooms have fine European faucets (and great water pressure !), tiles to the ceiling and very quiet split air conditioning unit. The rooms are uniquely decorated by a Panamanian artist giving the Balboa Inn a very special tropical touch.

another triple room

And when you look outside through the big windows, you see trees and hear birds instead of seeing concrete and hearing street noise. And to check the news or watch a movie, all rooms have satellite TV and a DVD player.

Add the big covered terrace, the garden, superfast Internet and WiFi... The Balboa Inn, simply a great place to stay.

Convenience
Need to catch an early flight to Bocas del Toro or Kuna Yala (San Blas)? We're just 5 minutes from the domestic airport so you'll never be late and don't have to wake up even earlier to take take the morning rush hour into account.
We also offer secure and free parking of your rental care right in front of our inn.

Breakfast
We want you to start the day the right way. Like one client wrote us " the only problem is that we started our vacation to Panama at the Balboa Inn and we never had a breakfast like you guys serve ever since
."

breakfast is served on our garden-surrounded terrace

Value
And last but not least, bang for the buck. We rank #3 or # 4 of the B&B's listed on Tripadvisor.com and two or three B&B's above us either charge double to triple our rates or have less ideal locations and half the reviews of the Balboa Inn.


No place in Panama offers a combination of customer service, value and location like The Balboa Inn.
