The location was fantastic we could walk to all main attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were two singles travelling together and the room was very clean and comfortable. There was a kettle available to borrow and even a small bar fridge which is unusual in European hotels. it's a very old and quirky hotel within an arcade of shops and cafes. We loved it.

It could be a little stuffy but we were able to open the large windows in the room. We stayed in Autumn but in summer it may be a bit warm as there was no air conditioning.

This place just had charm by the bucket load. I loved it. The location is superb and the fact that it's in a passageway next to a shop where Toulouse-Lautrec appparently bought his walking sticks just made it for me. And the cat. We loved the cat. And the reception area. The room was clean and comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was good, the hotel itself is characterful in its old-age and charmingly old-fashioned (you get a proper key and the windows open) and they were efficient and helpful when it came to ordering a taxi. The coffee and juice at breakfast were great and the other breakfast products were decent quality. Location-wise it's really handy for the metro and it's surrounded by restaurants. We can highly recommend Friends and Family which is nearby.

This hotel is one of the cheapest I could find in central Paris but it's far from cheap. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

The Chopin is a wonderful Paris institution. We first came on our honeymoon in 1979 and it's still lovely. It's not luxury, there are stairs, it's a bit old fashioned but it is brilliant. We must also give a big mention to Esther who sorted several things out for us, and was fabulous. Thanks Esther! Reception is friendly, multilingual and really helpful. The lift/elevator is a godsend!

It's not ideal for people with mobility problems but the lift helps.

The charm of the location is one of the best things about the Chopin. At the end of a beautiful ancient Galerie (part of several in the area - felt very historic). Our room was inward facing and exceptionally quiet for Paris. Staff were lovely especially Alicia, the resident cat and Mlle Paulette who was sometimes with her Maman at Reception. One day during our stay there was an electricity problem and no hot water. Staff did everything to get it repaired asap. The area is full of good places to eat and small supermarkets to purchase the odd bit and piece.

Having Maxwell House powdered coffee as the breakfast offering is hard to understand in a city like Paris which loves its coffee. It made us search out another option. A simple thing for the hotel to fix :)

This hotel is a very special place. it's quiet and screams fine classical French just how you would imagine I just loved it . The beds were very comfortable, and the shower was very nice. Good water pressure.the staff were very helpful, and the room was cleaned every day, which was amazing as I didn't expect it to be done. very good place to be to for yourself to explore paris nice and close to transport

Cute and quaint Parisian experience. Excellent location with restaurants and transport nearby and many central sights within walking distance. Also it is located in a stunning arcade/passageway. The breakfast was very good and at a good price. People all very nice and welcoming.

The rooms, being old, were a tad small for storing bags and moving around etc. It was still and hot when we were there and with no a/c the room didn’t offer the respite you may want. Mind you they provided a fan and most other character places probably do not have a/c. These are minor negatives and way outweighed by positives. Would still recommend.

Beautiful old building with a charming atmosphere. Comfortable bed. Hot shower with great water pressure. Lift to every floor, small but adequate. Do yourself a favour and spend the 10€ on a brilliant buffet breakfast, superb. Meet Clarinette, the hotel cat, drop your luggage in before checkin time if required and enjoy the delights of Passage Jouffroy. Staff were really friendly and helpful. I couldn't resist shining my leather boots on the old-fashioned shoe shining machine; what a great experience.

Good location in the heart of Paris. Hide from the traffic and not expensive compare other Hotel. Friendly and delicatesse staff.

nothing

The location was great for us - a quiet part of town, near the store, metro, bars and restaurants. The employees were very helpful and kind. One night we came back were late, the main passage was closed and one of the employees guided us by phone to the next entrance.

The bath had no curtain (maybe this is usual for France, I don’t know), so it was hard to take a shower and not flood the entire bathroom. The big bed was not so big, so two persons (if the one is a small 10-year old) could hardly fit and sleep. The windows had just option of wide opening, so the air was not good, when we came home after all day and the windows were closed. Wifi dodn’t work all the time. There are some minor minuses that people can expect in and old hotel like this, but Hotel Chopin has its Parisian charm and warmth.

We love the Hotel Chopin, it has the classical charme of a Parisian Hotel, nothing is brand new but has patina and history and a bit of wear and tear, but thats exactly what we like about it. Close to the Grands Boulevards you reach a lot of interesting parts of Paris. Rooms are small but convenient, a black cat lives at the hotel and you´ll cross paths here and there, its nice to come "home" and find a sleeping cat at the desk next to a very friendly receptionist. It was our third or forth time there, and we look forward to the next time.
