We stayed there for 3 nights in January, 2012, and it was by far the very best place we have ever stayed-anywhere! Bill and Mieke were the best hosts! The rooms are great, the breakfast is too. And the yard and birds are fantastic. The location is also wonderful as it is so safe to walk around the area. Wish... More

We only stayed one night at the Balboa Inn, as we went on to the San Blas islands the following day. But Mieke and Bill went out of their way to help us with everything we needed and offered that we could store our luggage a week later when we had one day to spend in Panama City. The Inn... More

We recently spent five nights at the Balboa Inn, and we can’t imagine having chosen a better place to stay in Panama City. First of all, the canal zone is a tranquil, laid-back, relaxing part of the city—in our view, so much more desirable than other downtown areas, such as El Cangrejo or Bella Vista, for example. It really felt... More

After an arduous journey to Panama City on Christmas eve, I felt instantly at home when I walked in the door at the Balboa. Mieke and Bill took me in with great warmth, found me a way to get to a fabulous restaurant for supper, and managed to find a driver to deliver me to the airport early the following... More

No problems here at the Balboa Inn Panama City Panama. Inn keeper Bill and his wife Heike are helpful and attentive. Clean rooms, great breakfast and nice location. Birds in the garden here are wonderful - some of the best in Panama City More

We were looking for a quiet, convenient place to stay with easy access to the surrounding areas and found it. The staff is wonderful. The B & B hosts were informative and helpful. Our only negative is the Innkeepers both smoke. We had a room above the smoking area on the patio and the smoke would come thru our open... More

The Balboa Inn was interesting. It was not the right place for us since it was in a very suburban area. It is a converted house on a very quiet street. You can walk 2 blocks and hail a cab and you are then about 5 minutes from everything. The cab driver got lost getting there-but we expected that and... More

The Balboa Inn met and served all our needs! My wife and I were really pleased with our choice of staying in the Balboa area. The morning walks were a highlight. Alcon hill is in your backyard! The B&B hosts were wonderful and aimed to please. Each day we planned out day excursions or just relaxed and enjoyed the property.... More

Bill and Mieke started as great hosts but ended as great friends. They were knowledgeable about all of Panama and our trip was so much better because of it. The inn is perfectly located for Barrow Colorado Island, the locks at Miraflores, Cosco Viejo, and the Miradore. Breakfasts were super and bird watching was awesome. Can't wait to return. More
