Four of us stayed and had a lovely experience. Very attractive hotel. Good service and great breakfast. Bus just outside to get into Torquay centre. Five minutes on bus saved taking the car. Could not fault the staff. Friendly and attentive. Would come again.

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

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.

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

Lovely property and a lovely quiet setting very close to meadfoot beach and a 20 min walk to Torquay...lots of hills though. Was given room 20 and very creaky floorboards. Also window opens which must be on the back of the kitchens so very often got a fishy Smell in our room. Also bed wasnt the best comfort wise could feel the springs at times and two singles put together. Full size kettle and tea and coffee provided with one pack of biscuits, and full size mugs which was nice, although one mug did have a chip on it. Didn't eat dinner there as vegetarian choice was limited chilli one night..I don't do hot spicy food. Breakfast was lovely and cooked to order and they do offer a vegetarian option of a cooked breakfast. The pancakes are lovely. Maybe the staff could be a little friendlier at times. A coffee machine would be great. Lovely smoothies too and certainly worth the money for the breakfast provided. Had a drink in the bar one evening paid 7.50 for an eighteen gin and tonic which I thought was a reasonable price. Lovely lawn with tables and chairs and sunloungers too. Maybe some games could be placed in the lounge/packs of cards. Met some lovely people there. Do try the cafe at meadfoot beach also. Thank you for a lovely relaxing weekend.

Relaxing break
It was a very friendly, family run and peaceful hotel, close to the beach. Lovely to come back to in the evenings after visiting the Princess Theatre for a show. Breakfast great, efficient service. Room could have done with updating but it was a standard and had everything you needed. That was all that was available at the time but premium rooms are offered.
