Hotel is very clean, maid service daily, restaurant is good too, range of different meals, spanish and english. Hotel is literally across from the beach. This area is very hilly therefore people with walking difficulties may find it difficullt to get around. Boat rides to Fuegirola, day trips to Gibralter and a short bus ride into Torremolinos. Overall fab holiday... More

Stayed here with my friend and her 4 year old son last year for a week. When we arrived we waited 20 minutes in a queue - which didn't bother us but they then served a spanish person who was stood at the back of us first! We were then told we had to wait for our room as it... More

Sorry to say but this hotel really was not worth the price my friend and I paid. I was there for 11 days half bored. Although location wise it was perfect the actual state of the room me an my friend had was horrible. There were holes in the curtains and sheets and when you stay in a hot country... More

Just stayed for 1 week in this hotel. Great location as its very near toshops, restaurants and the beach which is great. Room was very clean, as well as the hotel. Service was good however staff were not the friendliest, they weren't rude, but just did their own thing and got on with it, which is great but its nice... More

We have just returned from a weeks holiday in the Hotel Balmoral and had a wonderful time. We have stayed in this hotel before and would certainly stay in it again. There are a lot of elderly Spanish people staying in this hotel which ensures that you have a quiet evening. The food is basic and not a huge amount... More

We stayed at the balmoral for a week half board, the hotel provides excellent value for money and is ideally located just accross the road from the beach and a short walk from the marina. The hotel had a large number of elderly spannish guests, which in some ways was good as it was very peaceful and quiet at night... More
