Balzac was an experience”

Delighted to share the experience of one of the very good properties in prime location of Paris, Hotel Balzac. With just couple of minutes of action, it was an excellent location, where one never missed any action in the heart of Paris, Champs Elysees. Our room was comfortable and quite clean. Staff was very cordial and prompt in their service. It was a good breakfast but the breakfast space was something that can be worked on as it is a small place right next to reception, which would be better if expanded. It was just a two-three minutes walk from the metro station and well connected to the entire town. Overall, a very good experience and would totally recommend it to all looking to stay in the heart of Paris.

Location and breakfast was good. ”

I spent three nights at Balzac. I liked two points. First of all, the location is good( just beside the champ-elysee). After a long walk and rambling in Paris, it was easy and quick to return to my room, by foot or metro, from all the direction such as Louvre, Mont Martre... The second, breakfast was small and serves not many kinds of foods, however it was enough and nice. Especially I cannot forget cappuccinos, the kind staff served for me. Its' thick milk foam was so good. They served enough breads, croissants, yogurt, etc... Room was so small, it was a bit inconvenient, but was not bad.

Very pleasant stay at the Balzac”

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Balzac - the room was plush with very high ceilings which added to the feeling of spaciousness. The bed was enormous and the light fittings and furniture were typically French and opulent. Only complaint is that the shower was relatively tiny - luckily we aren't big people but I can imagine stepping up into it would be difficult for taller/bigger guests. Conveniently located off the Champs Elysees which can be a little noisy if there are parties or events happening. A very nice stay here.

Excellent choice of hotel”

The location is only a minute away by walk to Champs Elysee. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was okay but not much of variety for 5 stars hotel. We are happy with the stay. Will recommend for sure.

Paradise ”

It was great experience very clean and big rooms let me till you one thing only it was royalty experience i was upgrade to the royal suite with view to eiffel tower and the champ elysee

Recommended for traveller”

Very good location, just 1 block (2 mins walk) to Champs-Elysee. The most impressive is the Concierge named Mr.Frank. He is extremely nice person.

Location , location and location ”

The location of the hotel is excellent as it only few steps to Champs Elysees , my overall opinion was good as I faced few issues some were solved and some were still valid until I left like AC was very bad Abd room was warm , TV remote wasn't working and after two days of reporting it was fixed .. Overall as I said it was ok and might return back in the future.

Excellent”

Nice cozy room. Excellent location, a few steps from champs elysee. Room service food is not worth the price. Didnt get a chance to try their main restaurant

Service.....location...... service”

The staff uplifts the hotel, without the staff, it cannot maintain its status. The hotel brags about having a good restaurant (3stars michelin) but unfortunately, they cannot accommodate guests without prior reservations (3 months to a year in advance). Skilled in their profession, the concierge offered several and better alternatives to satisfy our cravings and facilitated everything from reservations to transport to the restaurant of our choice, for the duration of our stay. The art of service is practiced in Hotel Balzac. My compliments to the staff.

I'm French (Australian really )”

The stay at Hotel Balzac was just as we imagined. The room was large and very French, the staff were always there to help, thank you all. Location, location, location, this is the place to be.

Beautiful room”

The room is spacious, yay It's not a new hotel i know, but it got taste of French art on every corner equipped with FREE wifi Very close to Champs Elysees and surrounded with Asian food Perfect!

Central hotel, small room but very comfortable”

We stayed here for 1 night and it was amazing. The room was quite small though but it was very comfortable. staff were friendly and very attentive. room service was fast. Would love to stay in this hotel again when we go back to Paris.

Excellent Stay at the Perfect Location”

Fantastic Botique Hotel with the best location, fantastic breakfast and the absolute best service especially from Christopher who went over and above the call of duty to make sure we enjoyed our stay in Paris. Thank you so much. I would go back for sure the next time I visit Paris.

week in paris”

awesome paris hotel was clean and comfortable staffs were very nice and courteous no swimming pool or gym..

Very convenient”

Went with parents wife and a 3 year old daughter. Staff is helpful but kinda French if you know what I mean. Story is our tv remote was not working, call the operator and he said their tech guy was off work so have to wait till morning. Everything else was great. Worth the stay just for the location. Mind you Paris isn't very safe at the moment. We were there for 3 days and got pick pocketed twice

Thumbs up”

Excellent location, huge bath, friendly and helpful staff! Definitely my no. 1 in Paris

Good but could be better......”

Very convenient location and lovely staff. Sadly one or two irritating issues. Firstly, if you stay longer than a few days make sure your door key is properly coded for your stay. We had to ask on four separate times to have new keys to let us into our room, to be finally told that the previous keys were incorrectly coded for the wrong duration. The room safe was temperamental as it eventually turned out the battery was low. It took two attempts to resolve this and a rather scary 1 hour before we were due to leave for the airport, again we could open the safe to retrieve our passports. The front desk staff were very friendly (and embarrassed) and had to call the manager. All resolved in the end and we had our passports in time! A lovely hotel with ‘character’ and the location is excellent.

5 Star Prices but not 5 Star Quality”

Paid a premium 5 star price for this Hotel for my partners birthday as a romantic weekend away. Room airconditioning was stuck on full heat when we arrived, asked the Hotel to rectify. Went out for dinner and when we came back the airconditioning was disabled completely and no explaination offered. The bathroom smelt of mold and mildew and was not of the standard I would expect for a 5 star hotel. Went out on the following day to come back to find the door being ajar and not closed properly. The room now smelt of vinegar from the attempted cleaning of the mold/mildew. Found the cleaning staff had thrown out some of our belongings from the bathroom. Only after multiple visits to reception were we offered an alternative room. The new room was much cleaner and what would be expected for a Hotel of this standard. Staff ignored a Do Not Disturb sign on the door and cleaned room after we explicitly asked them not to enter. Only after my partner complained (as it was her birthday) and asked for compensation were we sent complimentary Champaign for the numerous issues we encountered.

Birthday celebrations.”

Excellent hotel and staff in ideal location. Unfortunatly the electricity failed during our stay for 8 hours +...to the entire hotel....I expect from a 5☆ hotel prompt alternative arrangements to be made ... Nothing at all, not even an applogy....The French way ?

Truly top class!”

It was a wonderful stay. The staff were helpful and attentive. The rooms were always well attended to and it was a very quiet hotel. The street noise could get a little much late in the evenings on the odd occasion, but overall was fairly quiet.
