“Dreadful”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

I have to agree with rosycoates. This was a dreadful experience. Rooms clean, but tired and dreary. Furniture stained and chipped. Carpet starting to fray. Climbing the stairs smelt of toilet cleaner. The heating was on all night. We were on the second floor. I was woken up from raised voices which I eventually realised we're coming from the bar,...

“Hope the planned changes come to fruition...”

We regularly stay at places that call themselves boutique and until now have been very lucky to enjoy the best of what boutique can be. Sadly the Balmoral doesn't deliver on its claims to be boutique and the photographs and descriptions on the website are from a long time ago... If you are planning to stay at the Balmoral you...

“Worst hotel I have ever stayed in!”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 via mobile

I have to say that this was the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel. I feel extremely misled by the claims on the website (I feel the pictures were very misleading) that it is a recently refurbished boutique hotel. Whilst it is slightly cheaper then the good hotels such as Hotel du Vin, the price difference was... More
