We had afternoon tea booked in Palm Court. We arrived a bit early, but this wasn't a problem. Seated upstairs with a lively view of reception and the tree. Offered tea, coffee, soft drinks till it was time for afternoon tea. I cannot praise the staff enough, they were helpful and friendly and I felt looked after the whole time I was there.

Had the best stay here. Beautiful building. The concierge team, especially Jose, truly looked out for me— even helping me with my bags to the train! The front desk and restaurant staff, like Kasia, went out of their way to make me feel welcome and remembered my breakfast orders. This is truly a 5-star experience— book now!

We had an amazing stay here for my partner's 30th birthday. The staff were incredible throughout the whole stay, always helpful and friendly. They arranged some additional amenities at the last minute (which was my own fault!). The food on offer was excellent, rooms tidy and the room preparation throughout the day made it even more special. A perfect location for a special occasion. Thank you to all of the staff at The Balmoral for making my partner's 30th so amazing.
