Guest Reviews

• John (8/5): A comfortable hotel, good value, only a short walk from the harbour area. - Breakfast was good, and dinner was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient. There was a good-sized lounge for guests , and a large garden We had a "cosy double". It had adequate space, but next time I might pay more for a standard double.
• Ingham (10/5): -
• Katja (10/5): - Das sehr nette Personal, gutes Essen, top Frühstück Da gab es nichts
• christine (10/5): Very friendly, very helpful staff,very clean, we enjoyed our stay. - The breakfast was very good. You had plenty of choice No view
• Camilla (9/5): -
• Anne (8/5): The staff were friendly - All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, the food was excellent but a bit too much if you had the cheese and biscuits! Lovely walk in shower, that's coming from someone who hates showers! The duvet! I hate them! We wanted a room on the ground floor which we had. I was disappointed that we had to pay for an upgrade. When I booked it I had an ordinary room upstairs but when we checked out there was an addition for the room change that we had not been notified about. As the room was very dark,felt cold and the window was draughty it shoild have been a down grade!
• Edward (9/5): I enjoyed my stay with the main highlight being the excellent cuisine. - The meals were superb. The hotel grounds are very attractive. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall the hotel is comfortable and relaxing. No lift, so may be an issue for guests for some guests. The hotel is in an elevated location from the town centre, so something of a climb for guests on foot.
• Richard (10/5): -
• Roy (8/5): -
• Eric uit Wijchen (9/5): - Geweldig ontbijt, zeer vriendelijk personeel en schoon. Een echt British hotel. Kamer ietwat aan de kleine kant maar wel volledig.
• Swantje (8/5): Gute, praktische Unterkunft für eine Nacht - Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis, Dinner und Frühstück waren gut und günstig. Zimmer sehr klein und sehr hellhörig, man hört jedes Knarren aus den Nachbarzimmern und von oben.
• Emma (10/5): - Staff very friendly
• Karin (7/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück war aussergewöhnlich und die Lage des Hauses gut. Das Zimmer war sehr klein und hatte nur ein schmales Fenster. Das Bad war winzig und es gab keine Ablagemöglichkeiten. Unter unserem Zimmerfenster (Zimmer-Nr. 25) war die Küche und der Geruch von gekochtem Essen war sehr störend.
• Sabina (10/5): -
• hall (7/5): - The food was excellent. Staff friendly and efficient Hotel very clean and well looked after The room was tiny. The bed very uncomfortable The shower and bathroom very small
• Antony (8/5): - 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.
• Bergin (10/5): -
• geoffrey (7/5): All good except for the points raised above - It’s old world charm The cosy room was very cramped the toilet / bathroom door hit the bed so did not open fully .we were sat outside near the restaurant one afternoon from the middle window above the restaurant came a torrent of foul words from a women in the room she was swearing at her husband / partner she came to the window looked at me and said what are you F- -king looking at we then left the area as had other guest in the garden not what you would expect ?? Also the restricted parking was a pain and although guest were asked to park within the mark lines some did not do this so what would have been a parking space was not available These points spoilt our stay to a degree
• Deborah (8/5): Just what I needed for one night stay - Lovely grounds. Nice and peaceful. Great breakfast . Nothing
• John (10/5): -
• carl evans (8/5): - Good breakfast.
• Michael (10/5): Relaxed vacation within easy reach of the beach. - Quiet location a lovely garden with plenty of seating non-smoking areas (though someone didn’t think it applied to vaping) signs stating No Smoking Here should be updated to include Vaping also. Apart from that incident the three days relaxing at the Hotel Balmoral were idyllic. There is a bus stop outside the hotel driveway with regular service to Torquay Harbour. Across the road the Hotel Osborne is located above Meadfoot Sea Road Beach and is welcoming to non-residents lovely terraces with cafe bar a more lively situation with beautiful views. Along the beach is a flat footpath approximately 1 kilometre which makes a nice promenade after breakfast. Garden is above the road and some noise but not too intrusive the surrounding trees and birds more than make up for the traffic noise which is not continuous.
• József (10/5): -
• Susan (9/5): We loved it so much we stayed on an extra couple of days. - Beautiful, quiet, peaceful. Lovely gardens. Amazing food and very friendly staff. Bedroom was a bit small with a view of a wall and a flat roof. The shower space was tiny and the water hard to regulate. Not enough to detract from the overall experience though.
• Nadia (9/5): -
• RICHARD (10/5): Excellent stay, great location, great food, I will be staying there again… - Location was excellent, 3min to the beach and cafe to the right when you walk out the hotel and 10min walk to Torquay town centre turning left from the hotel, with a bus stop just out side if you wanted to save yourself on the walk to town centre. Host was wonderful and very friendly, staff was impeccable, food was excellent and a different menu every evening, if you wanted a bit of peace and quiet then the gardens around the back were the perfect place to relax. I can’t fault the hotel excellent and would urge anyone wanting to spend a few days in Torquay to stay there… My room was a little too small for myself but I was travelling solo and I’m used to a larger room.
• dean (10/5): - Fantastic location, friendly staff, great food. We will be back.
• Sarah (10/5): Food was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful - Good location, clean everywhere and good value First room I was shown didn’t have a window looking out (was patterned glass), but changed room easily.
• Beverley (7/5): - The location was excellent I wasn't offered help to take my luggage to my room (2nd floor). I felt the staff were quite disinterested, were there to do a job but not to make your time special.
• Jason (8/5): -
• Lynne (8/5): Can we come again !!!! - We really enjoyed our stay, the garden is very attractive and the communal areas provide comfort .The tea is served in pristine white china and is beautifully presented. The Dining room, the same attention to detail , freshly cooked breakfast awaits you with plentiful tea and coffee. Our cosy room was a little small probably would help to have a stool which could go under the table , perhaps a mirror there too however, very clean and comfortable with nice view over the garden.
• Susan (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to going again , very friendly hotel - Really nice food and choice .cooked breakfast very good I was reassured very well the food was all nut free as I have an allergy No negative things, maybe tissues in room would be nice and a bit more milk?
• Stefan (10/5): - Ausstattung, Qualität, Atmosphäre
• John (10/5): - Excellent break. We will return
• Ken (4/5): Stayed for weekend in August, I’m not a moaner, but there were a few little things, there was no air conditioning or fan - Very short bus ride to town No air conditioning or fan, room was too warm, no mini fridge, no sockets near the bed to charge phones, stain in the shower tray, no cup or glass to rinse mouth in the bathroom, tv didn’t work properly, doors were ill fitted had to slam to close.
• Mark (10/5): Blinding - Excellent All good
• James (10/5): Peaceful - It was a marvellous place to stay close to the sea as well as the town but very peaceful when you need to relax. Great breakfast.
• Gwynne (8/5): - The room we had was extremely Small and no shelves in the bathroom ,we asked to move to a bigger room but the hotel was full. The food was excellent and all the staff were helpful and friendly. We would return but look to have a larger room.
• Ian Barry (8/5): - Adults only.Supurb location. Not enough vegetarian options on the dinner menu.

• Michèle (8/5): Das Hotel entsprach nicht ganz unserer Vorstellung, obwohl es, bis auf das kleine Zimmer, nichts auszusetzen gab. Es sch - Das Hotel befindet sich in einem schönen Gebäude mit einem gepflegten Garten. Unser Zimmer, obwohl sehr sauber, befand sich unter dem Dach und war sehr, sehr klein. Im Zimmer war es ziemlich stickig,so dass das Fenster die ganze Zeit geöffnet war. Das Fenster war zum Innenhof gerichtet und befand sich über der Küche. Während der Essenszeiten strömte daher der Geruch von Suppe, Speck und gebratenen Eiern durch unser Zimmer.

• ADRIAN (8/5): -

• Philip (8/5): 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.
• William (10/5): Traditional style hotel with traditional high standards - excellent. - Food excellent, hotel very well kept, staff excellent, no dogs seen! V nice bar and lounge, lovely garden area. For the price - nothing.

• Craig (9/5): Relaxed, clean and Friendly - Friendly Staff and great Breakfast. Parking was a little of an issue, but I do have a big car. Limited parking
• Sandro Schweiz (8/5): - Parkplatz vorhanden. Super Frühstück. Sehr ruhige Lage und dennoch in 15' zu Fuss ins Zentrum. Schöner gemütlicher Garten. Sie haben uns ohne zögern ein etwas größeres Zimmer gegeben Die kleinen Zimmer sind wirklich sehr klein. Etwas veraltet aber mit Stil.

• trackmanAndy (10/5): Fantastic location, wonderful staff, great food, near quiet beach -worth repeat visits. - Very comfortable room, fan available if in a heatwave! A good selection of items for Breakfast, both as self serve and as ordered. Dinner menus, changing each evening were wonderful - difficult to choose which to order if only there for two nights. Service exemplary and chef is always to make little changes if you require. Beautiful garden with a good choice of seats/tables/recliners etc. 4 way power extension block in room - difficult to reach.
• David (9/5): Very relaxing. Friendly, attentive staff. - Location was quiet. Garden great to sit out in. Could hear music from breakfast and dining room at 7.30am and after 10.00 in the evening It was hot so all the windows were open so would recomend it is played at a lower volume then, as I would expect you do not hear it when the double glazing is shut.
