Balmoral Hotel - Paris

Superb location right by Arc de Triomphe yet very quiet at night. Incredibly polite and welcoming staff (particularly by Parisian standards!). Lovely decoration in hotel (period furnishings) giving it style, class and character, all at very sensible rates. Leagues ahead of the faceless, homogenous chain hotels up the road at La Defense. Highly recommended and will continue to stay here on return trips to Paris.

Wireless internet speed in room was slow and some tea and coffee making facilities would have been nice.

Conveniant location

The location is great - - a quiet street just above the The Arc de Triomphe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Every staff person I met spoke English. There are several good restaurants very nearby for those evenings when you don't want to go far from your bed. The metro and rer station is within one block and there is an elevator to the station (very handy for luggage coming from or going to either airport). The hotel has an elevator as well (although it is very small, like most in Paris). The hotel offers a reasonably priced breakfast, although there is a bakery (Patisserie) about 3 blocks away that is excellent and will make you want to skip the hotel breakfast at least once during your stay. There is shopping close by in either direction - the Champs- Élysées in one direction and more reasonably priced, but still very good, stores in another.

We were not given the rooms we were promised on our return visit to the hotel. We were instead put into the "family rooms" on the 3rd Floor (37 and 38). The little room with the toilet in 37 is literally so small that many people could not close the door in order to use the "facilities." The higher floors (5 and 6) are much better, so be sure to ask for, and insist upon, a room on those levels.

Nicely located Hotel although it is small, all necessary facilites are there. Very good location for city trip as it is just walking distance to the city sub-way or train connections.

When I booked the hotel with triple room arrangement, children is free as long as the child is sharing the same bed with the adult. We have 3 adults and 1 child. Upon the check-in, the hotel insisted that we need extra room for the fourth person. My son is only 5 years old and we have not requested any extra bed for him as he can stay with us since there were 3 big beds at the room which I think is more than enough to accommodate us.

Great location. Staff helpful.

The beds were entirely too hard and uncomfortable. Too much noise from rooms across the street and on the street.

The location is very good. Near the metro station and Arc du Triomph. The staff is very nice.

Very small Room and high mini bar prices.

Lovely old fashioned Parisian Hotel, well appointed. The location is on a quiet street but just around the corner from a good Metro and train station with access in all directions. It is also a very short walk to the Arc de Triomphe and Chmps Élysées. The staff were very pleasant. Great value for Paris.

The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The quality of linen and towels was very good - Crisp and Clean. The room was small but had enough storage for a short trip.

The breakfast was ample but could include eggs and/or meat.

Apart from the location, the staff were very helpful. They were prompt in attending to our request and were always willing to assist us in many other ways.

No comment.

Absolutely wonderful staff and location.

We had two rooms, one was far better than the other (better condition and extra room accessories).

i liked staff they arevery helpfull

small rooms.no shower curtain at bathroom.and weak breakfast. u should extra payment for cheese. no open buffet

Excellent location. Could handle three pp/room

Was not made clear that breakfast was additional charge.

Well organised, no fuss about things, to the point service. Efficient. In a quiet location but pretty much near to everything.

The staff was very personable and always ready to help. The hotel experience was like visiting the home of friends or family. It was very warm and inviting.

Good location, comfortableand a nice breakfast.

Although a reservation for a family room had been made and confirmed as such by Bookings, 2 separate double bedrooms were provided adjacent to each other but not adjoining. Not very practica with 2 small children.
