We stayed a week, everyone here is fantastic, the place is very clean and quiet. It is in a residential area and is really really comfortable to walk around... more

My husband and I stayed at the Balboa Inn one night while in Panama City getting our passports renewed. We had a very positive experience. The service is far beyond what we expected, the premises clean, the water hot, and the breakfast great. Thorwald and his wife have put together an exceptional staff. The rooms are basic but comfortable, and... more

Recently, I had to travel to Panama City with my two cats that have never traveled anywhere. My anxiety level was over the top, but seeing Thorwald's wonderful face at the airport helped put my anxiety to rest. After a 5 minute drive from Albrook, we arrived at the Balboa Inn. I was pleasantly surprised by the immaculately clean rooms.... more

What a pleasant surprise to find such a well run, reasonably priced bed and breakfast in an excellent location. My husband and I travel frequently between Panama City and the States and have been looking for lodging like this. The staff were personable, spoke excellent english and gave us great suggestions where to go for dinner. In fact, there are... more

The Balboa is a gem! They had a driver pick us up at the airport, which was good because we got in after dark. The airport pick up is worth it. Room was clean, with a queen bed, and a nice hot water shower. They serve breakfast in the morning out on the patio, where you can see birds and... more

My husband and I and 2 friends were arriving in Panama City and then leaving the next day for Bocas del Toro. We needed something for just the one night that wasn't extravagantly priced. The Balboa was perfect. Upon first arriving we were rather skeptical but after stepping into the foyer and being greeted so warmly we knew we were... more

Balboa Inn was interesting. By interesting, I don't mean to use a generic adjective. I really mean "interesting"! We have never stayed in a place like it. They provided wi-fi, a fridge for guests to put their drinks, 24 hour staff availability, help with transportation and directions if needed, a neighborhood location, and good breakfast. You really can't go wrong... more

My wife and son stayed for nine days. They should improve the bath rooms with towel rakes that will hold towels and shelves to hold personal items. The safe is a joke because it is not secured to anything. There aren't any place to hang ones clothes so must live out of your suit case. They need suit casse racks.... more
