Lovely hotel with great food.

Lovely hotel with great food and free parking. Excellent sunny outside area to relax in if the weather is good. Only a 10 minute walk into Torquay or there is a bus stop right outside the hotel. All in all had a great time.

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at The Hotel Balmoral. The bedroom was a nice size with very comfortable bed and a good sized shower room. The staff were very friendly and the breakasts were excellent. We had dinner there one evening, which was also excellent with a great selection of wines. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

This hotel is really good place to stay. The rooms are very clean and fresh and the beds are very comfortable. The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. We reLly enjoyed are 2 night stay and will be definitely returning in the near future. My only criticism is that the bar was not open at 9.45 on the evening on our second night. They close it if there is no one drinking, but this is no good to people returning to the hotel at night expecting to have a nice drink before bed. The hotel should ensure it is definitely open until 11pm to facilitate this. Other guests expressed the same feelings and disappointment.

Lovely weekend for two @ The Hotel Balmoral

Friendly, helpful staff, rooms comfortable and clean. Breakfast delicious, cooked breakfast and coffee was hot and plentiful. Plus the choice of juices and additional breakfast goodies were very tempting. Only slight criticism was the shower head was fixed at quite a low level so made it quite tricky to have a shower.......However, would most certianly stay again

There is a lovely garden with a view to the sea and there was just a short walk to the beach. The choice of breakfast was good as was the service. The only downside is there isn't a lift and no porter service to the rooms which were all upstairs. This was my own fault as I should have checked when I booked. Just be aware when booking if you have any sort of disability.

Hotel Balmoral - 3 nights stay

Charming hotel in pleasant location close to nice beach with delightful garden area. Room 19 on first floor was clean and adequate for 3 night stay. Ensuite was 'bijoux' but could do with a bit more shelving/storage. Would probably chose a different room if staying longer. Public rooms excellent as was food, Good bar with reasonable prices and staff efficient and helpful. Bus into town from just outside entrance was useful. Would recommend.

We have just returned from 5 days at the Balmoral Hotel in Torquay and we had a wonderful time The hotel was spotless, our room was described as cosy but there was plenty of room and the beds were very comfortable. The hotels garden was so pretty with plenty of recliners and tables and chairs. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious We are hoping to return for another holiday in the near future. We would highly recommend the Balmoral
