This is the third or fourth time in a matter of a few months and the guys at the front desk ( Luis Diego and Diego) were very helpful. I was upgraded as I requested . Love the location of the hotel .

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 .

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.
