    Brilliant stay highly recommended

    Liked: Just like to leave I review for this place as it was lovely and such a peaceful stay! Very quick response and very friendly staff go that extra mile for guests I would definitely recommend! I even got a thank you email for keeping the room tidy which I thought was very lovely. Very clean and such a comfortable bed! I was very impressed that they had prime also as I got to watch my series:-)

    Avoid at all costs

    Liked: Avoid. Not near to anything. Hotel is locked until 3pm so we were left in the cold and rain. When we were let in and wanted to check in, the reception girl was too busy talking on her phone!!. Eventually got our key and got into small, but clean room. Awful old window that was drafty and not secure. Nowhere to hang coat. No complementary water as stated. Then went downstairs to wait for taxi to go to quayside and the receptionist was letting lots of very dodgy looking men in with hoods up and made me and my friend very uncomfortable. They obviously didn't work there as didn't know code to get in. Once in, looking through drawers to store cupboard. When we arrived back few hours later, they were all in reception with lots of crates of alcohol. All very strange and not at all welcoming or comfortable. Avoid at all costs.

    Pleasant stay

    Liked: Pleasant enough stay for 1 night with smooth booking process through booking.com. Close enough to West End restaurant belt and a short taxi drive frm Central train station. All rooms acessible with ramp for wheelchars to lift to all floors. Hotel was very clean and staff were accomodating and friendly. Had trouble getting hot water through bath tap so had to fill bath with shower. If we had contacted reception they would have explained the operation of the taps to us. The key was to ask about it. I suggested to them to have the information about the taps in each bathroom to make things easier for guests. Hotel has it's own Indian restaurant on site so food is readily available. God value at £35. Would recomend to others and stay again.

    Hotel Balmoral - Give it a miss

    Liked: Mediocre rooms, terrible service, management just don't care. Poor soundproofing - could hear someone having noisy sex at 2am and ruffians arguing in the corridor at 1am Music and noise from the restaurant below until midnight. Road noise til gone midnight Rooms poorly equipped, not even soap in the bathroom - not that it mattered as the tichy little basin was too small to wash in. Uncomfortable bed and pillows - 'King size' bed was infact 2 single beds pushed together, my feet were hanging out of the end of the bed (I'm 6'5") Pretty rough area. All in all a not very nice experience, glad it was only one night. Would not recommend

    A pleasant stay

    Liked: We had a "Best Western" special sale offer of buy one night, get one free in December 2023 which was excellent value. The male member of staff on reception gave us an underwhelming welcome and didn't look very smart so we were a bit apprehensive as we made our way to our room. However we were pleasantly surprised as the room was clean and pleasant. The parking was free. It was a 10-15 minute walk downhill into the city centre or you could hop on the bus outside. We did both. Both nights we were there we got an Uber back which was £5-£10 and worth every penny as the hill back is steep. Breakfast was included but it was continental only and consisted of toast, drinks and some unappealing prepacked bakery items. The ones we tried we didn't enjoy. We opted for some toast and tea and ate quickly as we were the only ones in the restaurant and there wasn't any music. As a consequence we felt like we had to whisper and didn't feel very comfortable. For these reasons we didn't bother with breakfast the next morning. There was an onsite indian restaurant (also where you ate breakfast) and it did feel like the business was an independent restaurant with rooms rather than a chain hotel with a restaurant attached. We did experience some noise presumably from customers leaving the restaurant and waiting for a taxi and for quite some time there was loud laughter and talking and this stopped us sleeping as our window was just above the reception. At one point I looked out and they were almost leaning on our car which alarmed me at first as I thought someone was trying to break in it. All in all a pleasant experience and a great price but unsure if we would return without a special offer. I'd say a rating of 3.5 but doesn't make a 4.
