Disappointing
The lack of hot water for a shower in the morning is not acceptable in a hotel that is rated 4 star.The receptionists attitude when I complained was very poor.

Fantastic Destination Hotel in a great location .
The Balmoral Hotel is situated in the town square a few minutes walk from shops, cafes and pubs. There are numerous countryside walks and cute villages nearby. Fantastic destination overall.

Fantastic stay
Friends and I recently stayed at the Balmoral arms where we had a fantastic stay. The hotel is located in the heart of Ballater and has a great atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and the food was delicious. My personal favourite was the Chicken Balmoral. All staff were attentive and happy to pass on local knowledge. We soon built up a great rapport with Lesley, who also quickly and professionally… Friends and I recently stayed at the Balmoral arms where we had a fantastic stay.
