I love the style and architecture of the Hotel and the cleanliness The staff were more than helpful and the traditional atmosphere was very impressive. The Bed was very comfortable. Room Service was excellent The spa facilities were good, but prices for the treatments were too expensive to justify us using them. I thought that the prices were very expensive. We paid £675 for 3 nights including one continental breakfast costing £34 This would certainly put us off re-visiting as we felt that other hotels offer very similar rooms at far less. This was for an executive room, which I expected would have been a larger, more impressive room for this money. Rather than on the fifth floor looking accross at rooftop offices. I feel that continental breakfasts should have been included in the price of the room, even if we had to pay a supplement for a full english breakfast.

location and reputation The fact that my room was very basic and facing the courtyard. quite dfisappointing indeed. The fact that the hotel charges for Internet connection was not expected at all for a 5* hotel. if i chose a 5* hotel, it is also because I expect some services to be included. Instead, I think that this is a cheap behaviour and therefore will think twice about chosing a Rocco Forte hotel again.

Everything about The Balmoral is superb, except for one thing ~ the way in which our 5 year old son was not only accommodated but welcomed was truly EXCEPTIONAL. We stay in five star hotels all over the world, and this was by far they best experience we've ever had ~ right down to child sized slippers, bath robe and cutlery. Often high end hotels discourage children, so it was such a revelation to find this level of service for the whole family. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Keep up the excellent work Balmoral ~ we'll be back!

The location is perfect, just in the very center, the room is spacious and clean, and the hotel itself is a beautiful building. Staff is very friendly and happy to help, and there is a Michelin-starred restaurant if you fancy for good food. I would only say that complimentary wifi internet would be very appreciated, as this is a high-standard hotel.

Lovely traditionel old hotel, Entrance has impressive marble tiling. We enjoyed afternoon tea in the Bollinger bar, although was rather exprensive. Room was pleasant but not oustandingly luxurious which I would have expected. Although the bedding was. Bathroom was all marble had 2 sinks and a separate mirrored dressing table with a wired in hairdryer, which would have been excellent, except the hairdryer kept cutting out. Room was badly thought out re mirrors plugs. you couldn't open the wardrobe door which had the full mirror on it. They should have placed it on the other door which did open fully. Meals and drinks very expensive. but to be expected I guess.

The stay in this hotel was very pleasant and the hotel was very very luxurious. The bars were both very nice and the facilities and staff of the highest standard. A few minor issues with the tv in room not working and having to pay for the internet. And finally the building work outside going on was very noisy and I would of expected to be made aware of this prior to arrival.

The staff were great and we upgraded to a beautiful room with castle view and old town view with a sitting room where we were able to have a small cocktail function for some friends who were also staying at the hotel. The facilities were beautiful and staff very accomodating.

Excellent staff,friendly and very helpful and professional. Superb restaurant at No 1 never disappoints. Lovely rooms and the palm court is perfect for cocktails or just a coffee. Always feel pampered and valued whenever we stay. Will be back. Valet parking very expensive. Supplements for kippers on breakfast menu!?
