Reviews for Silva Hotel Spa-Balmoral
Review 1:I did not like: the poor isolation of the room's walls, and of the window-doors, although they were double.....The horrible old carpets of the corridors, that have a look of 60s and are filled with allergic elements...And the fact , that the clients are obliged to ....pay extra money (!!) for the special swimming-pool robes and sandals!! Which , normally, had to be offered/found in each room for free...
Review 2:I liked the location, and the large room with the huge window-doors and the excellent view !!The fresh and clean air surrounding this place..The fact that pets are allowed(although much extra paid..).I liked the excellent staff!! The large dining rooms , and the great musicians -- NOT their singer, who needs a lot to learn about her annoying voice....
Review 3:A lot of price supplements (+7 Euros for a suit, +5 Euros for slippers, +20 Euros Access to Spa) -->Kills the "charm" . No surprise...
Review 4:Incredible view on landscape
Review 5:Nothing to dislike - all excellent.
Review 6:Excellent hotel, friendly staff, good food and facilities. Large room with great views across the valley. Disabled facilities very good with loads of room to manoeuvre a wheelchair. Very clean and comfortable
Review 7:We had a meal in the hotel in the evening.staff were very poor and slow. When we had finished our main course they didnt clear for a long time then said we couldent have a sweet as the chef had finished.!!
Review 8:ROMAIN, THE MANAGER, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE ACCOMMODATING AND THE STAFF WERE VERY PLEASANT. RESTAURANT FOOD WAS TO A GOOD STANDARD AND VALUE FOR MONEY. NO HESITATION IN RECOMMENDING THE HOTEL TO EVERYONE. WE WILL CERTAINLY RETURN AGAIN FOR FUTURE EVENTS AT SPA
Review 9:We couldnt get a massage appointment which was the reason for us to go to SPA in particular. They were fully booked during the weekend we stayed there. That was an unpleasant surprise.
Review 10:Facilities need to be updated. Our room was cold and noisy with car sounds. Less choice of dinner we stayed in the bar. We ordered panini and toasti which were burned. Photos can be misled. I expected a modern hotel but very outdated. Staffs speak little English.
Review 11:Breakfast and the fact that allowed dog which not many hotels offer
Review 12:The hotel asked extra charge of 13 eur per day per person to use the Wellness Centre, which contained one room of sauna and one room of hammam and some exercising devised. The facilities in the Wellness centre were in a poor condition. and paying 13 eur extra in this was a rip off. One day we ordered food in the room. The food was cold and not so tasty, potatoes were undercooked. The buffet in the hotel cost 75 eur per person, drinks excluded. The price for room service was more reasonable but still quality of food was rather poor. in just 2 km from the hotel, in the city centre of Spa you can dine with a very good price in various restaurants. We visited Domino Stake House and had a great dinner for 2, with drinks included for 50 eur. The other day we went La Belle Epoque, were we had an amazing french cuisine with a very nice service and staff and we paid total 55 eur for 2 with drinks included.
Review 13:Room was good size, with big windows on the forest. We requested 2 baby beds which were provided and which had good mattresses. Room was clean, however during all days of our stay we had to request cleaning lady to come to clean the room. Having two babies with you one can imagine that garbage bins need to be cleaned every morning. Pool was good size, and water was warm in the pool however the room temperature in the pool room was not sufficiently warm given that it was - 5-7 degrees outside.
Review 14:Nothing, everything was nice.
Review 15:The view to the lake, the spacious room, comfortable beds and all the necessary facilities. Breakfast was not very original but still good. The pool was of average size, not suitable for a long swim if there are more than two people in it.The walk around the lake and the many restaurants in the area.
Review 16:The fridge in the room was not working. The room was not cleaned up on time the first day. We returned around 4pm and we had to wait more for the people to clean our room.
Review 17:Very nice and big room, quite comfortable bed. The location is only 3 minutes away from the thermes. Staff was very friendly.
Review 18:I don't normally bother giving reviews but this place is so badly run I have made an exception. The staff are friendly and polite but poorly trained. They managed to mess up my booking telling me I hadn't booked enough rooms and forcing one of us to move rooms on our second night while simultaneously charging my card a full cancellation rate for the room I apprantly didn't book. The restaurant is poor, the bar almost twice the price of those in town and its a taxi ride into the town. Bizarrely Spa only has one taxi company with only two cabs, my advice is find a better hotel (not difficult) in town.
Review 19:Only minor downsides.The room didn't have obvious air conditioning settings and was warm in the evenings. The cooked part of the breakfast offerings wasn't to inviting. No English menu options on the specials menu.
Review 20:Easy to find on the way into Spa, situated in quiet, pleasant surroundings a mile or so from the town with good off road parking. Friendly staff and very good dining in the evenings although the cost can rack up if eating there often.
Review 21:One of our group was initially placed in one of the non-premium rooms to the front aspect of the building. He described it as "like a hotel room, only smaller". Upon complaint he was upgraded to the better sized room and all was well.
Review 22:Having been allocated a room to the rear, the room was spacious, the view from the balcony lovely and all aspects within expectations for a hotel of this type, location and price.
Review 23:The hotel's location was a little far from Spa's city centre. Most restaurants in town were closed on Monday, so we ate at the hotel. Food was excellent, dining room a bit empty.
Review 24:The beautifully, large, renovated room with a spectacular view on the surrounding valley.
Review 25:nice location
Review 26:very long wait for food and drinks and not very polite restaurant staff.
Review 27:hotel room was fantastic and a great meal.
Review 28:It didn't said that isn't a family hotel.

Review 55:The poorness of the menu in the restaurant
Review 56:The crew
Review 57:Bit out of town to walk
Review 58:Comfortable beds
Review 59:Front desk lady didn't speak French very well and no English. I felt that for a 4 star hotel, there would have been coffee/tea tray in room. It felt like a two star hotel. I was very disappointed. Hallways were not vacuumed the three days we were there. Late service in cleaning our room.
Review 60:I liked the breakfast, and the restaurant.
Review 61:The hotel atmosphere was very relaxed a great plus for our party. The Staff were very helpful and informative. The breakfast to start the day was plentiful and a varied choice for all pallets. The rooms were bright and roomy, the view was lovely and to be able to sit on the balcony was a plus. Would I stay again....... Yes no question.
Review 62:Tragic reception. Only man is a great woman incompetent. The worst thing is the lady who can not speak out loud or really knows the program on the PC-tragedy. Stop calling your hotel "spa" because it is not possible for two days it was not possible to be a massage! On Sunday in Belgium apparently does not do the spa and on Monday morning I beg lady at the pool, a massage? Additionally, the pool itself and is responsible for massage? Thus sparing managers!
Review 63:Excellent location, nice view for a small surcharge
Review 64:Beautiful, big room with a fantastic view of the forest. Breakfast was very good quality, very plentiful and varied. Lovely swimming pool.The experience was very relaxing and we would like to have stayed longer.
Review 65:Price of the drinks in the bar, and meals in the restaurant too high. Price of extra services (massage, etc) also too high
Review 66:Good hotel. Good location. Nice rooms. Nice staff and nice facilities. Free wifi.
Review 67:We had a wonderful overnight stay at Hotel Spa-Balmoral to celebrate my husband's birthday.Everything was just perfect: a warm welcome at reception, a room with a fantastic view of the surrounding countryside and an adjoining room for our daughter. We enjoyed a swim at the hotel spa before having a relaxing drink at the bar and tucking into a delicious buffet at dinner. The staff were all extremely pleasant and friendly. Without a doubt, we will recommend the Hotel Spa-Balmoral to our friends as a wonderful venue for relaxation, tranquility and good food.
Review 68:Not my first stay but last in this hotell. spa was crowded and in bad conditition. Cut my feet in the outside pool. Rooms nice as usual but everything costs extra in this hotel. Pity, they have possibilities , unused ..
Review 69:Of the two overnites there, we experienced a windy nite and the sliding door and its molding raddled (needs attention). Need a clear sign on the door to where the pool is? Coming from the lobby, finding it was a bit confusing.
Review 70:Parking is Free! Breakfast was plenty & tasty. Location to the centrum and Therme. Will definately consider using them again. Thanks
Review 71:the pool: ugly, smal and old. The photo from site is exagerate and don't coresponde with the reality. We have chosed this hotel for the spa and we we're desapointed.
Review 72:the room and the view (next to the lake and forest)
Review 73:In a four star hotel with a pool, I expect a bathrobe and slippers to be provided, possibly against a guarantee, but certainly free of charge. During our two nights stay the hotel was not able to provide us with a telephone that worked from our room!!! So no room service for us!!!
Review 74:Nice, spacious room with a wonderful view of the forrested valley
Review 75:I have requested for high floor with the side facing the valley... but finally only 1st floor facing the car park..sounds like omitting our request...
Review 76:Wardrobes were filthy inside. We had to dust them before putting our clothes inside. Upon our arrival after a long drive we were told the restaurant was full for dinner.
Review 77:The view across the lake. Good air conditioning in the room.
Review 78:The reception and restaurant staff were polite but could have been friendlier.
Review 79:The food at this restaurant was very good, we had a great meal the evening we arrived and after only being able to source frites and hotdogs at the Grand Prix race it was very welcome.
Review 80:- housekeeping passed at 9.30 AM in room, came into the room while we were sleeping. This is not done! - breakfast: we arrived at 10 AM at breakfast, breakfast was open till 10.30 AM, almost nothing left. Had to ask several times for bread. - Not enough staffing at reception and bar: the receptionist had to combine bar and reception work. Had to wait 30 min at reception before I was helped out. - Requested a 3rd bed in room for my son of 6 years old: I received small baby bed - Not enough parking capacity , we had to park on road.
Review 81:- very good beds - very nice and spacious rooms
Review 82:The style of the hotel. Also the spa facilities could really use anupdate. What I saw when I booked was a design like hotel. When wearrived it all looked a bit more oldfashioned then what we imagines.The room we were given looked nothing like the pictures I saw. When Ichecked online to see if I just didn't pay enough attention I sawthat this room was pictured but there's only 2 or 3 photos out or35ish pictures. When we complained that we felt a bit misleaded wewere given a bigger room. It was in the same style, still not what Isaw online. But I left it at that because I was happy with the servicethey provided.
Review 83:Lots of choice at breakfast. Delicious croissants and even champagne.And the service of the people at the front desk, when we complainedabout the room we were given they gave us an upgrade to a bigger room.
Review 84:Wellness area poorly managed, gym equipment didn't work, no airconditioning in gym, no towels, no staff, no water, needs completerefurburbishment! No room service...sun area on grass looks tired.
Review 85:Good food, good size rooms (in new section)
Review 86:No air conditioning in many rooms and ours didn't work at all. Restaurant food disappointing. Our shower hose leaked badly over bath. Hotel tired and lacked adequate staff to deal with problems. Our deluxe room was supposed to have views of lake and valley which I couldn't. even be seen from top floors.
Review 87:Locstion was good for easy access to town of Spa.
Review 88:To start with there are no lake view rooms in the hotel although theyare advertised and paid for having one (Stayed on the 4th floor out oftotal 5) The reception girl was incompetent to perform basic tasks tosay the least The spa facilities are extremely poor, Not enough parkingspace for all the cars so you may have to park on the side of the roadTo cut long story short just go to another hotel (the ¨blue¨ hotelopposite which is cheaper much better) These people are a joke. Totallydisappointed
Review 89:For the money I paid nothing
Review 90:Not as well furnished as a 4/5 star should be ,also bathrooms werebasic and not really inline with the hotels status.
Review 91:Staff ..... All the Irish team were first class and made the warmfeeling in the hotel . Other staff are more reserved as there englishis poor ...Beds were goods and comfortable ... "FREE WI-FI SYSTEM" is amazing a must for any business traveller .......
Review 92:That I had to leave too early..
Review 93:Its my first stay in Belgium and I lucky decision to stay at this hotel.During my work at Spa-Francochamp race circuit, I really enjoyed thestay at this hotel -surrounded by green- very much. The staff was at alltime amazing friendly.The location and convenience with parking great.Its in the middle of the forest and the view to the garden, excellent. Ienjoyed the hotel a lot and wish I still could stay there a littlelonger. Great and big breakfast. Evening they offer bbq or you can justenjoy the garden with glass of wine.
Review 94:Lack of charm. More suited for a business trip rather than for a romantic escape.The young man at the reception was - although smiling- not very professional nor service-minded.
Review 95:The ladies at the reception were very firendly and helpful. Breakfast fine, quiet and clean room. Plenty of parking space. Value for money.
Review 96:WiFi use in the rooms was limited to 30 free minutes. It would have been nice to purchase 24-hour business usage, but that was also free in the lobby/bar/dining room area only. It would have been nice if the swimming pool were warmer. But these are minor concerns and will not prevent us from booking Spa Balmoral in the future.
Review 97:Everything about the hotel, the staff, the view, the rooms, the bathtub/shower and the breakfast buffet and vehicle parking were superb.
Review 98:Room was great size, very quite and peaceful location. Close to pretty lake. Breakfast was very good with lots of variety catering for everyone's taste.
Review 99:The pool was a bit crowed and there were no enough sunbeds to lay down and relax.
Review 100:The room was nice and spacious. The breakfast buffet was good. The gym, pool etc were very clean.
Review 101:Our room was huge with a beautiful view. The junior suite was perfect with 2 small children and the master suite was amazing with a large bathroom and walk-in closet. Great for families!
Review 102:A complete joke of a 4 start spa resort. Facilities were in poor shape, staff not interested in making your stay comfortable. Oh, and if you can't speak French then better stay elsewhere, as neither Dutch or English will help you out here.
Review 103:Location
Review 104:The architectural design of the connection between the bathroom and the room since the door opens directly onto tje pillows of the bed
Review 105:Excelent breakfast
Review 106:No kettle/drinks in the bedroom, no alcohol in the mini bar! Wifi access very slow. Too much traffic noise even on the top floor
Review 107:Spacious comfortable room, large comfortable bed, hearty breakfast, delicious dinner, good size swimming pool, easy access, plenty of parking. Staff coped with my limited French
Review 108:Nice and modern. My Junior Suite was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. I didn't go into the Spa facilities but was told by a fellow traveller that they were also good.
Review 109:The hotel is next to a very busy road, the rooms are poorly isolated so they are not at all quiet. The hotel information that it is in a quiet area is therefore rather deceiving. The rooms look rather 3 then 4 star, the same can be said for the service in the bar.
Review 110:Room was available at short notice
Review 111:It's a very sterile looking hotel from the outside and certainly has acorporate feel. But it is ideally located as its only a few minutes outof a crowded Spa and surrounded by quet forest. The breakfast buffet isexcellent. The rom are very modern but also very comforting to relax in.
Review 112:The rooms are quite dated, the rooms were very hot during the night andthe ac didn't blow cold. I had a very sleepless night and ended up goingfor a walk at 5am to cool down.
Review 113:Entrance, lobby and restaurant area for breakfast was good.
Review 114:Cab company was a little unreliable and sometimes hard to get to andfrom hotel from town. Should offer a house car.
Review 115:Barman, the young Irish guy, was excellent. Views from room was great.
Review 116:For some reason they had lost my booking.com reservation! Fortunately they had space and I had my paperwork! Not sure why this happened as i had booked months in advance on this occasion!
Review 117:Friendly and helpful staff, good set menu for dinner that was reasonably priced although no - a la carte.
Review 118:The bed was too soft; there was a long line waiting to check-out. It took approximately 30 minutes. It was more the problem of front desk operation rather than short-staffed. Management should be able to accelerate processing by avoiding unnecessary or irrelevant guest inquiries, and should assign staff for specific tasks.
Review 119:One minor comment: my room was next to the lift and this was a bit noisyin the room (room 512)
Review 120:Offers perfect facility for a reasonable price. Love the sauna andswimming pool.
Review 121:Its too far from the town of Spa to walk, especially in the eveningwhich ends up costing a lot of money in taxis. Taxis are approx 50euro from the town back to the hotel after a certain time a night.There is no shuttle service from the hotel at the weekends. The doubleroom consisted of two single beds pushed together. The staff weren'toverly friendly.
Review 122:The breakfast was good and the room was quite spacious.
Review 123:The rooms are quite small (even though we had an executive one). Therewas no door or curtain in the bath, so couldn't close it when takingshower. Limited choice for dinner and long waiting time to get the meal.
Review 124:It is a nice hotel for families with children. We liked that we couldleave our kid in a club from 5-7pm and our son liked it. Good breakfast.
Review 125:Very nice experience overall.
Review 126:loved the breakfast, size of room and everything about the hotel great place to stay
