We enjoyed staying at the Balmoral Hotel. It was in an excellent location. Room was quiet, clean, and nicely decorated. Toiletries were excellent (for the women out there!) We had afternoon tea downstairs. It was excellent except for people parading through with their luggage. For the price we paid, we expected not to see people using the room as a thoroughfare. Maybe the hotel could put signs out to direct people to another route. Overall, I would recommend The Balmoral Hotel. Really enjoyed it and would stay there again.

Excellent hotel, staff is very helpful. Very central to everything and having the train station literally next door is very convenient. Definitely a five-star facility.
