    This small hotel has very friendly staff, great service, and is VERY clean. The rooms are nice, but we could have used a blanket. The beds are comfortable, but come with only a sheet, and a blanket would have been nice to have. However, having said that, we will still come back here because it is very well kept, and just far enough away that you dont hear the noise of the city, but close enough it is only a short cab ride in to all the city amenities .

    Fantastic little place to stay. The owner is friendly and helpful. For the price it is well worth it. Felt safe and its a nice quiet area close to most of the attractions and the mall. Very clean and tidy. Will be back when we visit the city again. Highly recommend it. Just be aware its not a 4 or 5 star hotel so be realistic in your expectations. That's not to say there's anything wrong with it. For the price its a bargain.

    I had a great stay here. It was easy to get an Uber. I loved the jungle vibe and morning birds. There is a binder at the front desk with ideas of things to do in the area. Breakfast is made to order. The room was lovely and clean. The shower was great and plenty of hot water. As a single female traveler— I really felt safe and I would stay again.

    A quiet place: nice, clean, and tidy. I stayed there 3 days. I slept like a baby. The onsite personnel was very attentive and responsive. Although it is not a five star facility, I will give it 5 star for the experience: it seems to be a family business, but it offers a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, that you may find at high end facilites.

    Balboa Inn, the place to be. It's in a very quiet and very beautiful neighborhood, close to the central bus terminal. The owner is extra nice and the staff is amazing! Whatever you need, they'll be there and able to help you. Thank you, I won't stay anywhere else in Panama City 🙏🏼

    Nice rooms and located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to everything. A good base to explore the city from.

    Good price for the value. Nice place to bring your pet. Nice patio with pool and green area. Staff is friendly and the hostel is 7min drive from the big albrook mall. Other fast food and pizza place at 5min drive. Walkable. The hostel is very quiet and clean. I would definitely book again to travel with family and pet.

    Great food for our household. Would be nice. If they stocked beyond burger for vegans though, as fritas and salad is getting boring. We would visit weekly if this was the case but now drive to another suburb for a vegan friendly option. One positive is that Friday night IS DJ night, so a nice mix of local, international and as far back as 80's music. All round entertainment 👌

    Amazing hotel staff. William was great

  • 4/5 Freyas E. 1 year ago on Google
    The room was good. The shower had warm water. The garden was really nice and had a pool.

  • 2/5 William F. 1 year ago on Google
    We were given a double room when we asked for a triple during a full house, there were conspicuous gummy fluid stains on the top of the sheet, the replacement sheet didn’t fit, and the second replacement sheet smelled of BO. This was our second stay here. Our first stay was acceptable but the AC had no adjustments— either on or off— and the beds and pillows were not great. The hotel is poorly marked and difficult to find from the outside. The pool is not chlorinated. There are no bird feeders as mentioned in other reviews. The breakfast is poor and the staff will not call a taxi for guests.

    This place is so cute and in a beautiful neighborhood. The room was perfect for what I needed and a $5 breakfast made it great for the price point.

  • 4/5 Stephanie K. 2 years ago on Google
    Private relaxing. Pool. A/c and laundry service. Simple breakfast not traditional. Comfortable.

  • 3/5 Craig J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great accomodation for the price with lovely communal pool and area to relax. Rooms basic but functional.

  • 3/5 Michael W. 1 year ago on Google
    I choose the location because it's outside the city and close to the Albrook transportation hub. Green with a nice garden. Friendly staff. Breakfast is not included even though it's listed as a B&B

  • 4/5 Judi Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice but no restaurant off the premises that was easy to walk to.

    Home away from home, recommended for quite comfy stay at affordable price . Short taxi ride to casco viago and albrook mall

  • 5/5 Chigusa P. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Affordable, comfortable, quiet bed and breakfast next to Ancon hill. Access to key tourist locations were a $5 uber ride away. The rooms and service and staff were excellent. I enjoyed my stay very much and will stay there again on my next trip.
