    The lobby is small but adequate.

    The hotel is well-located, there is a bar and restaurant, the room was well-sized and the staff was lovely.

    I had a flood in my room and had to be moved in the midst of night. Staff handled it beautifully and professionally. Apart from that - my stay there was perfect.

    Hôtel Le Ballu is a beautifully decorated little hotel perfect for a cozy stay in Pariz. Close to Metro on Montmartre, but secluded from all the noise of surrounding bars. Staff is amazingly welcoming and very helpful. Their restaurant is a must try! Reserve it first and then enjoy French couisine taken to a top level. Price per value in all aspects. Would love to have stayed longer.

    all perfect grade 10

    Very nice boutique hotel, extremely nice and friendly staff (everyone from the front desk to the waiters, really great staff). Very nice decor, very good cleanliness, my room (superior) with above average square footage of rooms in Paris hotels. Probably the best boutique hotel I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in many and others in Paris as well.

    The light switches were a really puzzle; it was impossible to figure out how they work. I hope the hotel management provides written instructions how the switches work.

    The hotel is wonderful. It feels as luxurious as a 5-star property. The room was super-clean. A kitchenette with a Nespresso machine was a welcome touch. The location is great for those who want to explore the Montmartre area.

    I’ve not got one negative word to say. Just a minor caution, don’t let the Billecart Brut attract the Bling crowd!

    Sincerely one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in Paris. A beautifully designed hotel; elegant, practical, simple and stylish. Extremely well appointed, it has everything the discerning traveller could wish for, without being a gram over the top. Discretion. Oxfords, not Brogues. Book-ending the day with a sauna and a swim in the sublime private spa was magnificent! I seldom write reviews, but when I write glowing ones, it’s for the staff, who in the case of Ballu, I found to be capable, courteous, considerate, generous in their hospitality and welcome and as elegant as their environment! Chapeau!

    The decor was tastefully done. The room had everything you could possibly want including a microwave, plates and cutlery. The bathroom was beautiful. The room was exceptionally clean and the bed was turned down each evening with treats left. Staff were extremely polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Hotel Le Ballu is a true gem in the 9th. My wife and I are so glad we chose to stay here. Its fairly central and walkable to everything, yet tucked slightly away to keep you in a quiet & safe location. As for their staff: From reception to kitchen, their staff is amazing ,and go above and beyond to make your experience a positive one. Their food (delicious) and cocktail bar top notch. Our room was truly a perfect balance of size and function, that had a very welcoming vibe. Comfortable beds and pillows, great light facing the street with electronic shutters to control light, and privacy. Their bathroom was good size and well designed. Room temp controls were good, and the mini bar with sink, dishware, and expresso machine were a welcomed amenity. Outside of Hotel Le Ballu area neighborhoods, we always felt safe walking at any hour of the day or night. A half block walk puts local bistros, coffee shops, bars, pubs, boulangerie bakeries at your fingertips, including a great wine shop. About two blocks out and you're at easy access to all city transportation and the busier side of the 9th. You won't regret making this your place of stay in Paris.

    The hotel garden provides a lovely space in which to order a drink or have a bite to eat. And the room, while not big, did not feel cramped. We especially liked the sofa in our room, giving us a place to sit other than on the beds which, by the way, were very comfortable. But most of all, we were impressed by the warm and friendly staff member who checked us in .
