On behalf of the six of us ladies we were all satisfied with the hotel the staff and the location
Pros:

Breakfast was very good lovely choice very relaxed

Cons:

Our allocated room which had a see view was very small for a seven day stay so we went back to reception and our concerns were addressed at a little extra cost and our stay was lovely and I am saying that on behalf of the six of us that stayed there. The young lady that assisted us with our room change was very professional and helpful and we were most grateful

This hotel is a gem
Pros:

My son and I stayed here for 6 nights while attending the Monaco Grand Prix. We also stayed here for the race in 2025. This hotel is a gem. The location is terrific, situated on a pedestrian mall and overlooking the Mediterranean on the other side. It is a 20 minute walk to the train station and a 12 minute train ride to Monaco. The room and beds were comfortable. We had a balcony overlooking the sea. Even though there are nice restaurants nearby, we chose to bring our dinner back and eat on the balcony. The breakfast buffet was enjoyable. Everytime we come to the Monaco Grand Prix, we will stay at the Balmoral.

Gerne wieder!
Pros:

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Hôtel Balmoral sehr genossen und waren für ein 3-Sterne-Hotel rundum zufrieden.

Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den ausgezeichneten Service. Bereits bei Anreise gab es ein Buchungsthema, das vom Hotel, kundenorientiert und mit viel Kulanz gelöst wurde. Dafür nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön.

Die Lage direkt an der Promenade und nur wenige Schritte von der Altstadt entfernt ist hervorragend. Das Hotel bietet eine angenehme Atmosphäre, die Zimmer sind gepflegt und das Personal war während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Das Frühstück war gut und entsprach den landesüblichen Gewohnheiten. Als Österreicher vermisst man vielleicht ein wenig frisches Gemüse wie Gurken oder Tomaten sowie einen Streichkäse. Gleichzeitig gehört es aber auch zum Reisen dazu, sich auf die regionalen Frühstücksgewohnheiten einzulassen :)

Insgesamt ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Ich würden das Hotel jederzeit wieder wählen und können es für einen Aufenthalt in Menton gerne weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Hinweis für Gäste mit Zimmern zur Stadtseite: Bei geöffnetem Fenster kann es ab etwa 5 Uhr morgens etwas lauter werden. Die Anlieferung bzw. Abholung der Hotelwäsche sowie teilweise die Müllabfuhr sind dann hörbar. Bei geschlossenem Fenster hat uns das jedoch nicht weiter gestört.

Wonderful! Location is superb.
Pros:

The location
The staff
The rooms and especially the interior design and spacious rooms. Good layout.
The view

I particularly loved the breakfast dining hall.

Cons:

The outer areas where one aught to relax. Van improve, they have enough space to get somebody to design outer ladscape to make it a place where we can relax between beach times and spending the day out. They have such a beautiful facility.

Pros:

Personale gentile, posizione centrale e comoda, struttura carina.

Cons:

Hotel carino ma con gravi problemi. Nonostante il personale sia molto gentile, appena arrivati dopo ore di macchina abbiamo chiesto di usare il bagno dell'hotel in attesa dell'orario del check-in, ma non ci è stato concesso. Lo scarico del bagno non funzionava e gentilmente ci hanno cambiato la stanza nella quale nuovamente lo scarico non funzionava. Pulizia delle camere da migliorare (doccia e lavabo con macchie e ruggine). Posizione comoda ma il centro di notte è rumoroso e l'insonorizzazione è inesistente. Colazione basic, non manca nulla, ma niente di speciale.

Pros:

The hotel’s location is excellent, within walking distance of the old city and its main attractions. The area is convenient for exploring on foot, and the sea views from the hotel add to the overall experience. The combination of historic surroundings and beautiful coastal scenery makes the location one of the hotel’s strongest features.

Cons:

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly, but the breakfast was disappointing. The selection was very limited and lacked any fresh vegetables, which made it feel unbalanced and less appealing. Adding vegetables and offering a wider variety of options would significantly improve the breakfast experience.
