Just returned from Paris and London. We stayed at the Hotel Balzac for three nights and were quite pleased The rooms are small - though expected for Paris - but lovely. We had an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. Service was amazing and friendly. Did not worry about the reported terrible breakfast as it is surrounded by amazing cafes... More

Booked this hotel as a surprise for my other half and we were really chuffed with the location. The room was nice (we stayed in a superior room) and had a luxurious feel, the only disappointment was that there was no tea, coffee or even a bottle of water available in the room which for the huge price you pay...

The hotel is in a fantastic location and is attractive. We had a deluxe superior room with a big, comfortable bed. We had a "courtyard" view, which was basically a view of the opposing wall. The room was boiling hot, even with the heat off. We ended up sleeping with the window open. I am puzzled by the previous reviewers... More

The hotel is nice and very near to Champs Elysees street. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are small. We had a superior room at our stay, but with inner view. The breakfast was very limited, so most of the time we had our breakfast in one Champs Elysees cafes. More

This is not a great hotel. I would venture to say, not even a good hotel. It is barely OK. Three quarters of the guests were Arab, and the hotel seems to cater to that specific clientele. It was very unsettling to see a bodyguard outside a room on our floor every day of our stay. We had two rooms.... More

Yes, the location is perfect, just off the Champs Elysees. The rooms are good, but what is the deal where you have a suite with no mirrors except in the bathroom? It would be very easy to put in a full length one in the hallway. The entrance to the hotel is attractive with grand chandeliers throughout, but the sitting... More

No disappointment here, staff first class, service excellent rooms spotless and served well, no real restaurant at the Hotel and the bar is not really to sit and have a night of it but who cares with the perfect location of this hotel surrounded by the finest restaurants bars and attractions Paris has to offer, We have stayed many hotels...

We just returned from a wonderful 5 day stay at the Hotel Balzac, a block off the Champs Elysee in Paris. Such a lovely boutique hotel with very pretty, comfortable rooms. My husband was on business and joined my 18 yo son and me for pleasure after work. The Concierge, Patrick, is a GEM of a person and resource. Always... More

Stayed her with my husband recently and booked via Eurostar package. I had read previous reviews on this site and based my decision on those. The hotel is situated at the top of the Champs elysee very near to the Metro (Charles De Gaule) it took around 20 mins from the Eurostar (Gar Du Nord) and one metro change. We... More

Beautiful, quiet, hotel that was better than expected! We wanted a true french boutique style hotel that was quaint and near the action. This place is one block off the Champs Elysses and very convenient to a couple of Metro stops, shopping, overpriced restaurants, and much more! We really went blind into the hotel selection process blind and took a... More
