My husband and I took a weekend trip to Paris for our anniversary and chose the Hotel Balzac for it's excellent location and good reputation. The price was better than some of the larger more famous luxury hotels, but I honestly can't think of what we would have gotten out of them that we didn't get at the Hotel Balzac.... more

My husband and I stayed four nights at the Hotel Balzac on a Travelzoo promotion that included free WiFi in our room (normally 17 Euros)and an excellent full breakfast buffet (nomally 38 Euros per person). Everyone was very helpful. We were very pleased with our renovated, albeit small, room overlooking the Eiffel Tower. The Thai restaurant just steps from the... more

We stayed 10 days at the Hotel Balsac and had a marvelous time. The location is great - close to Metro, shopping and Arch de Triumph. Our room was spacious by Paris standards, and the bathroom was great - shower and tub. The best thing about the Hotel is the concierge - Patrick. Can't say enough about him. He was... more

When you go to Paris as a tourist, the importance of location cannot be highlighted enough. This hotel was a one minute walk from the Champs Elysees. The hotel has a quaint and cosy feel to it, the rooms are beautiful and luxurious. The concierge was excellent and assisted us in booking all our tickets and explained the location of... more

This has to be one of the most worst hotels in Paris. The location is on busy cross streets, the service is non existent, furnishings are tattered and bathrooms are a joke. During our stay, they ran out of booze, lost power all night and had no food service. Don't waste your money! more

The hotel is really romantic and incredibly Parisian. Our room was really pretty, on the small side (par for the course in expensive capital cities) but not at all pokey, with a tiny balcony with a view of the Eiffel Tower over rooftops. It was absolutely lovely and the macaroons and pastries laid out in welcome were delicious. The rooms... more

We stayed at Balzac for our honeymoon in May 2009. Fantastic location, easy walking distance to a lot of attractions etc. Hotel was very elgeantly done and little touches like a turn down service and chocolates in your room each nigth were lovely. However, the rooms were tiny and certainly not worth the price, we stayed in the corner suite... more

Who would believe that less than 1 minute's walk from The Champs Elysee one would find such a treasure as Hotel Balzac. From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel like the most special guest there. The welcome is like none we have received before. Although we arrived directly from the airport an hour before check-in time, we... more

Hotel Balzac was the perfect hotel for my 3rd trip to Paris with my mom. We requested a room with a view and got room 406 which was a picture perfect room. We arrived early in the morning and our room was ready for us to check into. When we entered the room we were amazed at how beautiful the... more
