Mauvais

L'emplacement central

Nous sommes arrivés à 21h15 et avons attendu 20 mn car même s'il est annoncé que les chiens sont acceptés, l'hôtel nous a changé de chambre quand ils ont vu qu'on avait un chien et pour une réservation chambre supérieure nous nous sommes retrouvés dans 1 lit de 140 avec une literie qui n'en était pas une😱 ! Bien sur avec un coût supplémentaire 😱 Pas de possibilité de manger sur place à 21h tout est fermé dans l'hôtel / restaurant.. De qui se moque t'on ? Pour ce qui est du petit dej il est à l'image de la chambre... Un conseil pour 20 euros de plus vous avez bien d'autres hôtels de meilleurs qualités.

Voor kort verblijf wel goed te doen.

de locatie, midden in centrum

Het ontbijt. Was erg magertjes. Keuze tussen bakje yoghurt met fruit of paar pannenkoekjes.

Great for a short stay!

In the heart of San Jose, Balmoral Hotel is close to everything. If you're looking for a clean and comfortable stay in San Jose, I highly recommend Balmoral Hotel -- a simple yet delicious breakfast was all my friend and I needed for our one night and one day stay in San Jose.

Mala mala experiencia

Su cercanía centríca.

La habitación sin ninguna vista y eso que pagué por habitación superior. La habitación en mal estado de mantenimiento. El gimnasio mugrientos. El dasayuno regular. Siempre lo mismo. Un día tuve que pedir que me cambiaran los cubiertos porque tenía lechuga pegada y seca en el tenedor. Un asco.

I was so tired when I arrived and didn’t get the best of rooms,but too tired to ask for a change. I stayed twice during

I have been staying in Hotel Balmoral since the 1980’s, and since have stayed on several occasions since over the years. It’s in a great location downtown San Jose and the staff are welcoming and friendly.

All the rooms need upgrading for these prices.

Great location!

It’s was close to bars, restaurants and other nice neighborhoods. Great location, great staff.

No visitors to your room even for a moment or you have to pay $34.00 per day.

average but good . stress free .

breakfast included ...nice !!!

one elevator doesnt stop in the reception level and i walk with a cane . at one point the said elevator would be the only one available i had to drag my luggage from one floor to another . Very difficult and unacceptable - needs more orientation to handicap needs .

Everything was comfortable and service was great, just the elevator floor buttons….

Great location, comfortable and staff very friendly and helpful.

The elevator floor buttons , some don’t work and had to send elevator away to get the other one to get to our floor.

2 Days in San Jose.

The room was very spacious, clean and good hot water. We also enjoyed the patio looking out to the street. It was like having another separate room. Friendly and helpful staff.

Nothing all 👍

Great treatment and central location

Great staff and treatment, nicely furbished, very central, parking, patio downstairs with a restaurant and bar, overall a nice stay to wrap up our trip. Thete was some confusion over ordering an airport taxi but it got sorted in the end.

All good really, located on busy main street if that’s not your thing maybe, but indoors was really quiet. I for one appreciated being within a short walk of everything.

Enjoyed our stay.

The room was adequate in size. Location was great.

Since we arrived in the late evening with a rental car, it was a bit challenging to know where the entrance was since you had to go into the driveway/parking area to get to the entrance/lobby desk.

Disappointed

The location of the hotel is on the city centre

Everything else. The hotel does not match with the pictures offered. We were not explained by the staff about any of the facilities included. The hotel is extremely old, the bath didn’t work properly, the wifi is really poor and the bed very uncontrollable. Definitely not worth to stay here again.

Perfect hotel to stay in San José!

Early check-in was available as soon as we told them that I was sick, that was amazing! Perfect location, great price for value

Wifi was pretty bad

Overall a big disappointment! We will not be back to stay here! The restaurant was staffed with people who did not know

The location was ideal for wanting to explore the museums, theatres and churches.

The service was a big disappointment. The staff did not care much about tending to your needs. Even when we shared our concerns, their responses were very dismissive and aloof. Showers did not drain well, no safety box in the room, room service took forever.

bit dreary

Not much really. it had a bath which was nice.

it needs an upgrade, and breakfast is very limited for a large hotel

Jan 2023

it was a bed for the night , wouldn’t stay here again

not much

it’s old fashioned, decor is out of date, bathrooms need a modern up date and room just smelt old and damp, the view out if my window was blocked (no view, no natural light - would be classed as 2/3 stars in the UK. also access to reception is a bit annoying and not easy to find if you arrive in the dark. Area is also very dodgy after 9pm and nothing is open.

Breakfast was a very limited menu. Nothing wrong with it, but would have been nice to have a few more choices

Exceptional staff at this hotel!

Lamp broken, safe broken, terrible shower head, no washcloths. Too much money for these all to be lacking.

Convenient to all places with reasonably good facilities and price.

It is centrally located, walk to many shops, restaurants bakeries and museums. it is also one of the main hotels for day tour pick ups. It has its own restaurant to serve breakfast and dinner but the service is not great. The breakfast has 5-6 fixed choices and very basic. But the pros are far more than the cons. Worth it.

service at the restaurant is slow and less than friendly

Acceptable but not good value for money

The hotel is conveniently located in the historic center but it is very outdated and not very clean. The room was large but the bathroom was not clean and the smell of damp was very strong. The breakfast is basic

The bathroom was not clean
