Hôtel Balzac Paris & Spa Ikoï

Had the best stay ever! Rooms are really nice and clean, beautiful view. Service is beyond great, everyone was extremely helpful and welcoming. Jihad and Patrick and one lady that unfortunately couldn’t remember her name, were amazing they recommended the best restaurants and were kind enough to do our Versailles and Seine river tours. The location is perfect. I definitely recommend it and will definitely stay there again!! Well done Balzac!

The hotel is gorgeous!, The rooms are impeccably appointed, the common areas are truly beautiful. Bar, reception area, breakfast/lounge area all quite luxury in the best possible way. Every member of the team is attentive, responsive, knowledgeable and caring. I have been coming to Paris for decades and have stayed in many lovely hotels - Hotel Balzac ranks at the very top. It somehow provides all the amenities of a much larger luxury hotel while retaining the charm and personal connection of a smaller/boutique hotel. After ordering breakfast on our first morning my coffee preferences were remembered and we were greeted by everyone in such lovely and welcoming way.

First time staying at Hotel Balzac. My usual “go to” hotels were booked. The hotel is lovely and I will definitely return. The staff is kind and pays a lot of attention to all the details. The hotel design is beautiful - a little masculine. Very well kept. The bar is small and intimate and the food and drinks were excellent.

Beautiful hotel, great hospitality and spacious room (and very quiet without too much noise from outside Paris life). We’ve had a terrible experience at one of our breakfasts and making it the reason for not giving 5 starts. Nevertheless , we would definitely recommend and come back as well.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience at Hotel Balzac. Especially our own balcony with Eiffel Tower views was unbelievable - it honestly made the trip. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive to every need, making us feel at home from the start. Overall, the whole hotel had an incredible luxury feeling, with attention to detail and beautiful Art Deco design elements throughout. Everything from the lobby to the room felt thoughtful and elegant. I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to stay here.

My wife and I booked this hotel thru a great travel agent during our first scheduled trip to Paris. We flew into London from the states and took the EuroStar from London to Paris. We researched many hotels prior and landed on Balzac because it had a great location and looked beautiful. Upon arrival, we were fortunate enough to meet the hotel Concierge, Jihad Salman. Jihad was a life saver for us and we leaned on him and his expertise more than any other concierge in our lives. We came in late in the afternoon, let Jihad know that we didn't have any dinner plans and he booked us at a beautiful spot within 45 minutes. He took care of dinner the next day and setup a driver on our third day in Paris to take us around the city. I encourage anyone visiting Paris for the first time to seriously consider this hotel and the value that the personnel provide to an out of country guest.||If you read this, thank you Jihad! You made our experience far better than it would've been without you and we are grateful and excited for the next time we are able to visit Paris again!

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Balzac. The concierge team was exceptionally professional and went above and beyond to accommodate our family—especially when our son needed a last-minute room. Their attentiveness made a stressful situation easy and seamless.||The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet given its central location. We loved how close it was to shopping, major museums, and the metro, making it incredibly convenient for exploring Paris.||Highly recommend for anyone looking for a welcoming, well-located boutique hotel with excellent service.

If I could give this boutique hotel 10 stars, I would!!! Jihad, Corentin, & Enzo are the most incredible & accommodating staff & made my sister and I feel like family. They are full of recommendations & will always welcome you back to the hotel with a smile :) Each of them are a special part of the memories made on our trip & we will definitely be staying at Hotel Balzac for all future trips to Paris! Thank you so much! Lauren & Caroline

I gave 2 stars because the service is great in the hotel. The problem is with the hotel itself. I have stayed in 5 star hotels in NYC and Chicago and this should be a 3-4 star max. -Walls are very thin here! You can hear your neighbors upstairs and to the side at any time, including squeaky beds (gross). -The shower would back up so we had to shut off mid shower, let it drain and continue -The bed isn't that comfy at all. -Location is great! -It's a pretty hotel. -Air conditioning doesn't work sometimes. -free wifi -no water -some rooms don't have an actual shower!!! There is nothing special about this hotel. Stay at another place, thin walls are important for sleep and privacy.We got engaged here, so this was a special time for us, too bad walls are thin and we couldn't get any sleep.
