Paris Hotels with Balcony

"This so-called five-star hotel may enjoy a prime location next to the Eiffel Tower, but the reality is deeply disappointing for the price they charge. The central issue, and one that ruins the entire stay, is the ancient air-conditioning system. It can only produce either heating or cooling—not both—and the creaky controls offer no real control at all. We stayed in late September when the afternoons were still hot and sunny, and the room became unbearable. Opening the window wasn’t an option either, since it just brought in street noise and light, making rest impossible. When I complained, the staff first tried to mislead me by saying they would send a technician to “fix” it, as if this were a problem isolated to my room. Of course, they knew full well this is a general, long-standing issue built into the system. Instead of any actual solution, they then attempted to placate me with complimentary coffee and champagne—which I pointedly returned. Reading other reviews confirmed I was not alone. Many guests describe the exact same problem, and management appears content to ignore it. For a hotel that charges luxury rates and claims five-star status, the lack of a modern climate system is unacceptable and feels like outright negligence. My advice: avoid this hotel entirely in spring or autumn when temperatures fluctuate. If comfort matters at all to you, spend your money elsewhere—this place is only trading on its view of the Eiffel Tower, nothing more."

"The room was quite small and lacked an overhead light. The elevator was also quite old and tiny; it was a tight squeeze with me and two suitcases. However, on the flip side, the 3-4 staff members were all incredibly friendly and the service was excellent. The historic building had a lot of character, and the Eiffel Tower was visible right from our window. Its proximity to the metro station makes getting around incredibly convenient. Would definitely recommend! Photo 3 shows the hotel itself, while photos 4-6 are of the surrounding streets."

"The hotel's service and interior environment are very good. The surrounding road maintenance and the suspension of Line 9 for several consecutive days caused serious traffic inconvenience. I took a taxi four nights out of the six nights I stayed there. The streets seemed safer during the day, but I had to take a taxi to get back at night. Secondly, because this hotel was newly renovated and opened not long ago, there was still some odor in the room."

"The ambiance was lovely, and the service was excellent. We even received a complimentary room upgrade! What a fantastic experience. Will definitely be back."

"The service was great, very warm and friendly. They charge for towels and padlocks. Storing luggage also costs money if you use their lockers (but it's free if you don't use a locker). The location is excellent, right by the Line 7 subway exit, and you can even get a weekly pass there. If you really don't have a photo, the handsome guys and pretty ladies at the front desk can help you print one for free. The room was cleaned and tidied every day. There's a restaurant on the second floor that's supposedly quite good. Within walking distance, there's a supermarket that's open until 11 PM. There are many highly-rated restaurants nearby, so you don't even need to take a car to enjoy great food."

"The location from Gare Du Norde train station was a quick 300m walk and such a quick easy walk to navigate. If you are leaving via the train again I suggest this hotel for the ease of how easy it is and central location. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is luggage storage. The room service didn't give us new cups on the second day, the shower pressure was literally a trickle and the bathroom light kept flicking on and off... they were my only complaint. But it didn't effect my overall experience of this hotel as I was too busy taking in the sights. If you are wanting a stunning Parisian view of the effiel tower I suggest booking the 7th floor which is the highest floor for this hotel. The view was magical and such a pinch me moment. The little balcony is nice to also have some fresh air."

"Great hotel, I would definitely stay here again. Location isn’t bad, the hotel is beautifully maintained and the staff super friendly."

"We had a wonderful 9-day stay at Drawing House, conveniently located near the Gaîté stop. The staff were among the loveliest we’ve met - warm, welcoming, and kind enough to offer us a complimentary early check-in after our long journey from Australia. The room itself was spacious; we suspect it may have been designed for accessibility, but regardless, the extra space was such a treat. A special shout-out to our cleaner, who was incredibly meticulous in tidying and cleaning our room. Even on the day we forgot to request housekeeping, she seemed to anticipate our needs and took care of everything. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed - merci beaucoup! There was nothing better than returning to a freshly made room after walking 20,000 steps through the Paris summer. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches, from the music in the common areas to the clever soap “grinder” in the restroom and the lovely tea selection, all of which made the experience even more relaxing. Highly recommended - both the hotel itself and the wonderful people who make it feel like home."

"The accommodation is in a nice quiet area. No one loitering around the Mairie de Montrouge Station. It takes less than ten minutes to walk to the Metro line 4. Upon arrival I was met by the reception staff whom were very friendly and welcoming. We arrived early and there was thankfully a room available for early check in without charge. They responded to my questions via email regarding the free luggage storage. The customer service communication was excellent. The accommodation was clean well equipped with plates, cutlery, pots and pans, wine glasses, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine, cooker with extractor and a dishwasher. What impressed me was that they even included washing up liquid clean cleaning cloths and a sponge. They made it very functional as soon as I walked in and I did not need to buy anything else but the food. Change of Towels and room cleaning is only for people staying longer than seven days. But that was fine. Walking to the hotel felt safe late in the evening and early morning. There is a large Supermarket Monoprix with ready made meals that you easily warm up or buy all the ingredients to make a cheap meal for two or three days. The store was less than five minutes from the accommodation and a lovely bakery next door. The place was comfortable and although it was a bit further out from central Paris. You can walk to the Catacombs which takes roughly thirty minutes. It felt safe. The pace was just right and I would recommend for those wanting to stay with more space, cooking facilities and respite away from the hustle and bustle of central Paris."

"It was a small and decent room, but it’s Paris…the shower box is quite small. I elbowed the glass a couple of times while i showered so I’d imagine that bigger built people might not like how compact it is. I felt like the soundproofing is close to non-existent, I could hear people walking around, watching tv, and even their alarms so I couldn’t sleep very well. I also hated having to carry and drag my heavy suitcase up the stairs. Nonetheless, the location of the hotel is absolutely brilliant. It’s only a couple of minutes from the station and around 20min walk to see Eiffel Tower. I think I’ll still stay at Splendid Hotel next time I visit Paris, but will definitely try to book earlier so I get a room with the Eiffel Tower view."
