We only stayed for 2 days but the staff made us feel at home. The staff went out of their way in every way possible which made a long journey from Australia very enjoyable. I would recommend The Balmoral to anyone.

Great location with excellent staff

Pros: Great location, the bar is great with excellent light meals/snacks. Customer service was great. Fantastic views from our 6th floor room.
Cons: The blinds in our room were old and tatty and there was a sour smell when we first arrived. Airing the room removed the odour.
Location: The location is perfect on the border between the old and new town.
Our stay was made enjoyable by the staff who were diligent in their concern for the Hotel's customers.
