Very VERY dated bathrooms. Spa area is just like past century. Toilet would not flash. Thin walls - you can hear a whisper. Breakfast was horrible. The staff is very nice though.

TV didn’t work in the room for the first two nights. Staff initially offered to move us to a new room but then retracted the offer and instead offered a key to a room with a tv until they could fix it the next day. Not a great solution.

I booked this stay for my parents so they can go on their dream trip. They said the hotel was gorgeous, clean, and the staff was amazing, specifically Andrew who recommended places and checked in with them frequently to make sure they were enjoying their trip. The location was perfect and there was so much to do within walking distance. Highly recommend and my parents want to go back soon!

We loved our stay at The Balmoral! Luxury at it's best. The staff was top-notch...always eager to assist with anything we might need. Loved the turn down service at night...we were definitely pampered during our stay here. Would highly recommend and look forward to our next stay here!

Wonderful Hotel and the Afternoon tea service was sublime. They accommodate my husband's dairy and egg allergies for our meals. The morning buffet breakfast was just right to start the day. Only note is hotel is right next to Waverly Station do it's a bit crowded in front of the hotel.

Staff were exceptional! Stayed for 2 nights and cannot fault any aspect of the hotel, the staff from the minute you greet the consierge staff to the housekeepers 10/10. Food & Drink choice is top class. We are already looking to re-book. Honestly, ask for anything and they will do their best to assist.
