Grand Hotel des Balcons

Breakfast was very good with plenty of variety. Cereals, fruit salad, hams and cheeses, breads and apple tart. Orange juice grapefruit juice, milk coffee and tea. With the heat I was glad there was air conditioning in the room so could sleep comfortably. All employees were friendly and helpful. I didn’t like the elevator which was very small. Two was a crowd in it.

The location was great. The staff was superb, friendly and very helpful. The elevator was smaller than a phone booth. The sign said 3 people but one person and one suitcase at a time was more like it. It was pretty fast so the ride was good. When I first got in with my backpack on it blocked the door from closing.

Location was convenient to all the sites we wanted to see, restaurants, cafe's... Neighborhood was nice. Room was small and a bit dated - but clean and pleasant. Good value for the price.

The room was a bit cramped for space. No place to put one's suitcase or open it except on the floor.

The room was super small, had no air conditioner, and was not clean

Corridors and stairs are kind narrow. But it's ok.

Nothing, everything was good

All good

There was no a/c and there was a heatwave and the room was 95°+ at night.

The only downside was that the room did not have air conditioning, only a fan. During the hot weather, the room became quite warm, so air conditioning would have made the stay even more comfortable. Everything else was excellent.

Sadly, they could not change the room rate charged by Booking.com ( so I had to pay for two people even though I was staying alone): but I think this was Booking.coms fault

Easy to drop bags before/after booking, great location, friendly staff. Everything's just a bit dated. Perfectly clean and nice, but on the edge.

We came to extremly hot weather. 34°. The room without air conditioning was extremly hot. The fan ,the staff gave us didn't help.The elevator was very small.

The beds were very comfortable and there was a great view of the lovely Paris. Excellent location, close to sights and I felt safe in this hotel. I would prefer sockets closer to the beds, a bigger bin or at least a second bin for the rubbish and more amenties.

Good location. Helpful front desk staff. Hot room. No AC at this price! Nescafé packets in Paris of all places.

Breakfast was hit and miss. One day good, another not so much.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms and common areas were very clean. Location is excellent - close to Jardin du Luxembourg, Odeon and numerous bus and metro lines. This is an older hotel, which I find very appealing; however, I was there during a heat wave. Not the fault of the hotel but AC would have been nice. Something to consider if you’re looking for a hotel in the summer months.

Love this hotel and the location Carpet in the room should be upgraded

This is the second time I stay at this property. The location is great, but the street is very quiet. Nice breakfast, several restaurants near the hotel. I was already expecting a small room, so it wasn’t a surprise.

Location, Staff Rooms didn’t have electric outlets close or by bed. We use a CPAP so they was medically necessary We have never stayed at a hotel when they didn’t come at least outlets on one side of the bed, no matter how cheap these hotels were.
