Desk staff were wonderful. The hotel’s up to date with outstanding air conditioning. Layout is a little confusing at first (e.g. there are two staircases) but single elevator gets you to all floors. Area is great for shopping (stores are by the nearby opera) and the area has all sitters of very good restaurants.

My favorite hotel in Paris

This hotel is incredible, a small gem in my favorite area in Paris, just steps from the Palais Garnier. It is my no. 1 choice in Paris. The rooms are small but extremely comfortable, the staff is very attentive and it is a small hotel, just like I prefer.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was quiet, albeit rather small. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Its central location made it easy to explore the city on foot. The only downside was the rather limited breakfast options. Overall, a good choice for a stay in the city center.

Property was tucked away in an alley but it was nice and quiet. Elevator is small. Place was clean but the bench at the end of the one of the beds was a bit wobbly so we didn't allow the kids to sit on it. Staff was very good and the two that I spoke to did speak English so that was appreciated. Lots of cafes and restaurants around. Within a 4 minute was to bus tour stops. Would stay here again

I've been staying at Hotel Chess every year since 2019 and I love this place. It feels like my home away from home now. The room is very comfortable with all the important amenities (if you are lucky, you can get a lovely view to the Apollo statue on top of the Opéra) . It's a small hotel, so it feels cozy and familiar. The staff is absolutely amazing and they always remember me when I arrive, making my stay very special. The location is unbeatable in my opinion, just a couple of blocks from the Opéra Garnier, with plenty of options to shop, dine and public transportation. At the same time, it feels like a oasis because the street is very calm. See you again in 2026!
