Hotel le Ballu

We loved our stay at Hotel Ballu. We stayed for a weekend in January in a Deluxe Double; the hotel is easily walkable (~25 mins) from Gare du Nord with similar distances to the 'top' of Mon**arte and Opera. We barely used the metro at all. We were celebrating my boyfriends birthday and the staff had helped me arrange balloons in the room, a handwritten note and complimentary sweets on arrival. The fluffy robes and slippers were great and we enjoyed the private use of the pool/sauna area. Comfy bed, nice products in the bathroom and would definitely recommend.

This hotel is a wonderful hidden gem. Located in a quiet road but close to a little playground and lots of boulangeries and restaurants. We stayed in the Junior Suite with our 10 year old daughter which was fantastic as it had a huge wooden dividing door so it was like having two bedrooms in one! The staff were amazing helping us plan our day and changing the times of our spa booking when we decided to queue for the Eiffel Tower. It was so great to be able to book your own private family pool slot and our daughter loved the jacuzzi button! The restaurant and bar staff were really happy and cheerful. We loved it! Merci beaucoup.

Hotel Ballu exceeded all of our expectations! We stayed for four nights as a family of 5 (three kids 9 and under), and the stay could not have gone better. Our Apar**ent with Terrace was HUGE and provided the space we needed to spread out. The hotel was beautiful and well-appointed (the private pool in the basement was key for our kids to get some energy out). But what truly stood out was the friendliness of the staff. Every single person we encountered (from concierge to housekeeping to bartenders) went out of their way to make us (and our children) feel welcome (special shout-out to Axelle and Sophie for providing amazing recommendations for dining and activities and always greeting us warmly). The staff even set up a little Easter egg hunt in the lobby for the kids (which they were over the moon about)! Each day there was a new treat waiting for us in our room (the first day there was a bottle of champagne--what a welcome to Paris)! The location is also excellent. There are outstanding restaurants and cafes nearby, and we appreciated being a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist sites. We will recommend this hotel in a heartbeat and hope to be back someday! Thank you, Hotel Ballu!

Staff is very helpful and accessible. Location for walking, bus or metro is good.

Great location with lots of cool places to eat and have a coffee. Easy walking to the centre of Paris. The bed was amazingly comfortable.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
