Our stay at Hotel Le Ballu was exceptional.

The hotel itself is beautiful. Every detail feels thoughtful and carefully selected, from the design and interiors to the overall atmosphere. It's elegant without feeling pretentious, and immediately feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely Parisian.

What sets Le Ballu apart from so many other beautiful hotels, however, is the level of service and care. Thomas and the entire team were wonderful throughout our stay. Thomas, in particular, was such a pleasure to speak with. You can immediately feel the pride and passion he has for what he does. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and genuine, and he made us feel truly cared for as guests.

The coffee, food, and amenities were all excellent and thoughtfully curated. Nothing felt overlooked. The team anticipates guests' needs in a way that feels effortless, yet incredibly personal.

Beautiful design may bring you through the door, but it is the people and level of care that make you want to return. We left feeling genuinely looked after and are already looking forward to our next stay.

Thank you to Thomas and the entire Le Ballu team for such a lovely experience.

The room was rather small for the cost. It was not possible to unload our suitcases. Which is why the rating is Good and not better.

The food and drinks were very good and the staff were all very welcoming.

It is a quieter area to stay in and not surrounded by lots of tourists.

Overall we enjoyed everything except the small room.

Would not consider a 5 star hotel. Fire alarm went off for 5-10 minutes at 1:30am on our last night. Staff did not handle well as it was apparently a false alarm. The hotel needs a PA system to notify guests not to evacuate or give an update. No apology or mention from staff or management. Due to an early flight, we had to leave at 3:30am, so this ruined the couple of hours of sleep that we were hoping for. This review would be differently if this issue had been addressed.

The room was clean and comfortable; the bed and kitchenette were fantastic and the toiletries were of high quality, but the room (and hotel in general) would benefit from improved signage. The staff were generally very helpful and friendly, but this was let down significantly by their poor response to complaints - specifically when we reported that the pool was extremely cold and all but unusable, there was no apology or explanation of what would be done to fix it, despite this being one of the key attractions for this hotel. The area the hotel is in is quiet and away from the main tourist areas; ideal if you want less busy bakeries and restaurants.

Beautifully designed hotel, with friendly staff and a vibrant (and not too touristy) neighbourhood. I've stayed in Le Ballu before and think it's now become where I most like to stay in Paris. It's very walkable to, for example, Opera or Montmartre and has a direct metro line to the Notre Dame area, so it's very well located while also being a bit away from the tourist crush. The rooms are absolutely beautiful - an oasis of calm.

This is a beautiful hotel on a pretty, quiet street in an interesting area of Paris. Everyone was very nice and we quire enjoyed our stay.

Great staff, but only a 3-star hotel

The hotel claims to be a five star property. Unfortunately, it is a three star property. The rooms are small, the lobby is small, and the amenities are mediocre. However, the staff was wonderful! Please see the pictures below and you’ll understand why this is a three star property.

The deluxe room was really nice, spacious. The AC was good as well. There is a kettle, tea bads and large mugs, which is rare, and appreciated. Only 4 stars because you can't use the pool and sauna unless you reserve, and there is no availability on the same day. If you don't want to plan you Paris stay around the hotel's pool schedule, you are unlikely to be able to use it

An Absolute Gem in Paris - Exceptional Service and

Our stay at Hotel Le Ballu was truly outstanding, and we cannot recommend it highly enough!
First and foremost, the location is absolutely amazing, perfectly situated for exploring Paris.
What truly set this hotel apart, however, was the incredible staff. Tomas, the Front Desk Manager, was incredibly helpful and accommodating. He consistently went above and beyond to assist us with everything, always with a genuine smile on his face. His dedication made a huge difference to our trip.
In the restaurant, Abdullah was equally great, providing truly fantastic customer service. He was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experiences a pleasure.
Even at 3 AM during checkout, Sam's helpful nature was simply amazing. It's rare to find such cheerful and efficient service at that hour, and it made our early departure seamless.
Beyond the wonderful staff, we also loved the overall ambiance and, of course, their cappuccino is amazing!
We genuinely loved the location, the entire staff, and every aspect of our stay. We would come back again in a heartbeat!

Quiet, great location, amazingly comfortable bed, little kitchenette and pool was a plus. Room was a little small for me as I needed a desk to work, and I had to put my suitcase on the luggage rack in the bathroom to access it. Small is expected in Paris, and I got a good rate so I didn't complain. The pool is heated to a perfect temperature, its about 5 feet deep so you can swim or run the length and has jets for your back after a long day walking, and the sauna is perfect. You can use for 45 minutes a day as a guest, no extra charge. Next time I would reserve a larger room, but I would definitely return to this very beautiful and well serviced hotel in a great location with a pool!

Great hotel but minor critique.

Great location and style of hotel, spa is good and so is the service at the restaurant. Some small things that stopped it being a 5 star and only 4.... no travel tooth paste in bathroom provided, the tv connect system does not work despite us both trying on both phones and doing all the steps, restaurant staff very helpful but both the reception staff seemed a little cold and not very friendly/ did not seem willing to help when asked questions. Cleaning staff where also so loud in the mornings you could hear them through the walls which is a disturbance.

Grateful

I have stayed more than once. Most of the staff I encountered were very kind, genuinely very interested in being of service, knowledgable of the best ways to do so, and put those things into action with a mature emotional state and professional behavior. Three in particular went above and beyond and I am very grateful. I appreciate the gentle cleaning products upstairs, though I did notice a stronger fragrance smell in the lobby. I also appreciated the ability to not have the room attended to daily to save water, energy, and my own privacy. The beds are not the most comfortable for my tastes, but I slept well: I have had rooms at the back facing the courtyard- after arriving at night the last time, I was surprised to see loud construction leaving the next morning - I had no awareness of it from the courtyerd outside of my room. I was told the partner of the owner designed the space and, for those with an eye for such things, all the little touches will reveal themselves throughout your stay. Would return and recommend.

Great hotel in 9e ans about a 20 mins walk to Coeur (Montmartre) as well as being close to metro lines. The hotel is clean, staff provide excellent service with a smile. There are so many hotel options in Paris and this was in our top two finally - would stay again. Cannot comment on dining and spa (and pool) as we didn’t have time to check them out.

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 Montmarte 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.

Really beautiful hotel. Our room was super clean and the decor was amazing. All of the public areas of the hotel too - clean and stunning.
We used the spa every day of our stay - definitely worth booking your hour in each day it was lovely to go in there after a long day of walking.
Beds were comfortable, bathroom was beautiful and the room had everything you could need. Reception was really helpful and great service throughout. We also ate lunch at the restaurant on our last day and that again was great the setting is lovely and food & service was 10/10.
Location wise we found it to be perfect. Walking distance to Montemarte, a really short walk to Pace de Clichy metro & felt safe with plenty to do the whole time we were there. Would definitely recommend and will for sure stay again!

As a solo traveller this property had an excellent location for most of the Paris areas that I wanted to be in - Opera, Louvre, Montmartre and while it is really close to Moulin Rouge it’s not a trashy area.
Lots of food choices nearby as well, plenty of cafes and restaurants for all budgets. Hotel bar is nice, cocktails are delicious (need to ask bar staff what’s in them as menu is light on detail.)
The hotel staff, in particular the reception staff (especially Estelle) are really friendly and helpful. The pool and sauna are a delight to use, and the pool is high enough for laps. You get fluffy robes and slippers along with a bottle of filtered water everyday in the room, it’s the little things that make a difference!

Nice Hotel in Pigalle

Lovely hotel in Pigalle. Quiet, clean and modern. Very comfy bed. I stayed in a Superior room which was big for a Paris hotel. For 2 people it might be tight as there isn’t anywhere to store luggage. The lights are a bit confusing when you want to turn them all off at night. I just kept twisting dials till I got it right. The rooms have a tea kettle and coffee machine.

Le Bally has a small pool and sauna you can reserve if you’d like a dip. There is a restaurant with outdoor patio seating. The food was average, but good in a pinch.

Overall, a good hotel for Paris. I would stay here again.

Really think the staff here are exceptional!! Received an upgraded room and they were always delightful. I think however there a few quirks in the room..no coverings on some of the windows so sleeping in was not happening and the walls being so dark in all areas felt a little cluster phobic…especially in the bathrooms. Smacked my head at one point…The shower door seemed to stick a lot and fanning your water closet door out was hazardous. The pressure of the shower was not great for long hair. The location was great and I would stay there again but in a different room that was not so dark.

Pleasant boutique hotel in a great location (close to shops, metro, and bars/restaurants) with a beautiful house across the street. Room had nice touches like digital interfaces, cute sinks in bathroom/wetbar, rug under bed, and grand door opening up to balcony (in my room type). The restaurant has nice outdoor area but was too bright inside for my taste. The dark paint inside does attract dust if not properly dusted each time. Overall, happy about the stay in this unique boutique hotel.
