The Balboa Inn is a small Bed & Breakfast at the foot of Panama's main landmark, Ancon Hill (Cerro Ancón) in Balboa.

Conveniently located between the downtown area, Amador Causeway and just minutes away from the domestic airport and the Panama Canal you are away from the city noise yet have access to all its services.

The Balboa Inn is the ideal base from which to explore Panama the place to stay during stopovers in Panama City. We welcome families who will find our inn, its gardens and the surrounding neighborhood especially child-friendly and safe.

Our Bed & Breakfast has seven rooms (9 by the end of June) all with private bathrooms. All rooms have WiFi Internet access, satellite TV, DVD player, air conditioning, ceiling fans and room safes.

A gorgeous garden, a real breakfast that keeps you going for the day, good value and dedicated customer service set this owner-managed inn apart.

Saskia Swartz, a former KLM flight attendant and her husband Thorwald Westmaas started the Balboa Inn to address the need for affordable yet quality accommodation in the Panama Canal area managed by friendly and helpful staff. Having worked for this fine Dutch airline for over 11 years, Mrs. Swartz knows what good service 'looks like' and is uniquely qualified to manage a hospitality business.
