A two-star in the street beside the Odéon
The Grand Hôtel des Balcons is at 3 rue Casimir-Delavigne, in the 6th arrondissement, in the street running from place de l’Odéon to rue Monsieur-le-Prince. It is a neighbour of the Hôtel Delavigne at no. 1. The address is a fringe one: the 6th-arrondissement edge of the Latin Quarter. Atout France, the state body that issues French hotel stars, classified it two stars on 23 August 2022, for 49 rooms. The hotel’s site shows no stars of its own.
Per the hotel, it is a 19th-century Parisian townhouse with an Art Nouveau heritage. There is no heritage notice at this address to confirm it. The house belongs to the Hotels en Ville collection, which manages about thirty Paris hotels, among them the Hôtel Maxim Quartier Latin.
Rooms and services
Its listed strength is rooms for several people. The family room measures 25 m² and takes three; the quadruple room measures 32 m², has a sofa bed and is listed as an accessible category, and the hotel describes itself as adapted to reduced mobility. The layout of that label in the room list should be confirmed by phone. Some rooms have balconies.
The hotel lists no air conditioning among its equipment. It has no bar and no restaurant: a breakfast buffet is the only meal, and it is cheaper when booked directly. Pets and parking are not mentioned, although the site notes the electric charging points of rue Lobineau.
Around it
Odéon station, on lines 4 and 10, is three minutes from the door. Cluny-La Sorbonne (line 10) and Saint-Michel Notre-Dame (RER B and C; line 4 is closed there until 19 December 2026) are six. Our page on hotels around Odéon places the house among the others.
Compared with the neighbours
The Hôtel Delavigne, next door, is a star higher at 34 rooms but has no room for four and no accessible room (its largest are triples). The Hôtel Maxim Quartier Latin, in the same collection, has three stars and 33 rooms, with a family suite for four. Of the three, the Balcons is the only one with a room listed in an accessible category, and the one that lists the fewest facilities.
