Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Historic and old fashioned hotel in the old part of the town. Wonderful position, perfect service, thorough cleaning, good breakfast in the nice dining room in front of the sea. The improvable side of the story regards the rooms, where an update might help to add the fifth spot in the evaluation. A kettle with tea and infusion bags, a coffee machine, a (glass) bottle of water would render the nice old fashioned room more up-to-date

This is a 3 star hotel which could be a 4 if they ironed out some issues. The plus points are it’s location,overlooking the sea. We booked a double disabled room but got a twin, not that good for a wedding anniversary! However it had a walk in shower and raised toilet. Some issues with emptying the bathroom bin, and the maid removed a screwdriver I needed for my disabled scooter. They did find it the next day. The restaurant was unbookable until the last night which meant we had to find somewhere to eat that was disabled friendly. Parking is a nightmare! It’s on street or in an underground car park, albeit at a discounted rate, however if you can find a space you should pay at a pay & display, times are Monday-Saturday, 9-12, 2 -7 but there seems to be no enforcement, we saw a car with a ticket dated 3 days ago! The website said all rooms had tea & coffee making facilities, but no, we were given a kettle, but had to pay a 20€ deposit. It also says room service but no. If they sorted out the restaurant, tea and coffee facilities gave us a room we had booked (double not twin) and room service it might make a 4 star. The price is a bit high for a 3 star, but as they say location, location, location.

A fabulous location across the road from the beach and the rear door opens on to the pedestrian street. However, the rooms are very small with only sufficient room to have one case open. More attention to small details such as replacing used paper cups in the room would improve the experience. We had a sea facing room- nice view but impossible to look at it except when standing in front of the window ( where bags were stored). TV impossible to watch as had to sit on the side of the bed fir two to watch it! Breakfast is continental and fine. The outside area has potential to be a lovely space but looks neglected and a bit tatty.

Nice location but that’s where it ends! Very rude staff, lifts not working, dirty room, filthy carpet, extremely old and dated. This was possibly the noisiest room I’ve ever encountered, coupled with the fact that the curtains let in all of the hotels exterior lights and the sun, it was almost impossible to sleep. Breakfast was equally as bad! On check out, I definitely encountered a member of staff that clearly should look for another career far away from hospitality, she could only grunt and mutter “oui” Not at all impressive and a place that I would stay well clear of, probably on par with the worst that travelodge could offer, in fact have had far better experiences at a travelodge!

Beautiful hotel. comfortable bed and shower, Great views whether you face the street or the beach. Breakfast included and it’s a buffet with quite a bit of food, various juices, hot chocolate, etc. Hotel opens right up to the beach. The beach is a pebble beach so you might want to wear beach shoes or you can buy from any store nearby.

We had an amazing time in hotel Balmoral. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They gave us great sea view room and were very helpful with some direction advice by printing train & bus timetables to the nearby touristic places and towns. Also the food was great during breakfast, I especially liked the fresh fruits and the outside sitting area. Thank you very much for making our stay unforgettable at Menton!

I booked for 2 adults and 1 child (>2) and once there they expected us to sleep in a double bed room together with our child. Apparently, as suggested by the receptionist with her limited english, in france it's the way it is. Incredible!! We were then charged an extra 25€.

Terrible experience! It’s been 2 years so far and I still wait for a promised refund for a cancelled reservation!!! They avoid answering my emails as well as booking’s. Legal action is in progress. Definitely NOT a recommended place to stay 😖😖

A warm, friendly welcome by the reception staff. They were also so helpful and went out of their way to assist with any queries. Very clean and stylish hotel . The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and spacious for a couple (double comfort). It was a little noisy at night as we had a city room so we could hear people in the street outside however I would definitely not let this put me off returning! Buffet breakfast was great and plenty to choose from and good value we thought. I would recommend a stay!

Hotel Balmoral is a stunning hotel that still maintains its historical vibe. We had such a fantastic week here. The staff are very welcoming. A special shout out to Laura at front of house for the evening meals. Laura is such an asset to the hotel, she looked after us with 1st class customer care & she bought joy to our evenings. The hotel is well equipped & there is a facility to borrow beach paraphernalia ie. Sun umbrellas & chairs which is really useful. The quality of food at breakfast & evening dinner is really good & can’t be faulted. There is a small bar although it is tucked away by the Reception area & not clearly advertised. Great for an extra drink after a post dinner stroll. We were so spoilt with our balcony, it was huge & captured the sea view perfectly. There is literally only 1 thing that I feel could be improved & that was the carpet in our rooms. It was quite old & heavily stained. Apart from that, Hotel Balmoral is truly wonderful & I would love to go back someday! Thank you to all of the staff especially Laura!
