My stay at Hotel Balmoral was completely unacceptable. Ther service was poor and the rooms were shabby. Most importantly I was charged $100 from my account for no reason at all. I had already paid for the room and did not incur any expenses. I emailed them to ask why i had been charged without my knowledge and I have never heard back from them. DO NOT STAY HERE THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF AND STEAL YOUR MONEY
We stay 10 days in Balmoral hotel. We didn’t want to be far from the city but we wanted to have access to the market places, museums, restaurants, and to the Costa Rica´s National Theatre.The hotel is just in the middle of downtown, very central, safe area, towns of places around. You do not need a car, they have a garage with taxis ...
We stay a week in Balmoral hotel. We didn’t want to be far from the city but we wanted to have access to the market places, museums, restaurants, and to the Costa Rica´s National Theatre. My wife and I were really pleased with the hotel’s restaurant and also with the really kindly staff. We are a couple of seniors and the size of the ...

We stayed at Balmoral two weeks ago, its an hotel centrally located in the middle of the town. There's a new restaurant named "el patio del balmoral"...you never get tired of eating here, is just delicious.

Not Tica Friendly
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/26/08
What amazes me about this beautiful hotel is the straight up fee for a friend to come to your room. It has nice staff, good accomodations and is centrally located, but they need to realize that it is no different than the businessman bringing his secretary or mistress on a trip. Same final result, but they are not charged extra for their mistress or secretary. Is it my fault that I have very short term relationships, sometimes two or three a day.

Great Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/16/08
The hotel was centrally located and within walking distance to all resources,i.e., museums, stores, market places, good restaurants, ATM's, places of entertainment, etc. The hotel's reception personnel were courteous and always available when needed. The restaurant personell, bar attendants, as well as the room attendants (maids) were ...
The hotel is very beautiful. All staff is very helpful and polite. They were attentive and went out of their way to assist us. The service was superb! They also offer tourist excursions. Location is the best in the city in the middle of everything, next to all main attractions. Breakfast is very good and nutritious.

Nice hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/05/05
The hotel is in a great location, breakfast was great and rooms were clean and enjoyable. Prices are very reasonable, unless you plan bring a few of the local girls up to your room. They charge you about 20 bucks a "pop" no pun intended. If you are there with the Mrs. or strictly on business you can't beat the rates. If you plan to up ...

Hotel Hospitality...Tico Style!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/13/05
The Balmoral is old world style hotel located right in the center of everything. I booked my reservations through Yahoo! travel and had no problems upon arrival.
We arrived very late due to a mishap with our lugguage but were greeted with the utmost courtesy and attentiveness. A bellhop met us at the door and ushered us in.
