      Best hotel in Paris ”

      This is by far the best hotel that I had stayed in Paris. The location is so convenient to shoppings, restaurants and metro stations. The room is of chic modern French decoration and even the bathroom is so modern and nice. The room was spacious for one person and I think it would be good for 2 as well. During my 5 nights stay, I couldn’t hear the guest staying next door and I believe the sound proof is good in this hotel. Housekeeping is doing a very good job and paying to small details. For example when my bottle water had ran out in the room, a reusable water bottle was provided to me for storing tap water. On the morning of my check-out, front desk staff Michael was friendly and offered to help me with my luggage to the taxi. I will definitely be staying with The Chess Hotel when I am back in Paris!

      I had a brilliant stay at The Chess Hotel. David and Michael were both amazing, full of humour and helped me to save a slice of Brie that wouldn’t have made it without their intervention! A VERY good hotel, in a great location with a brilliant team. I look forward to staying again when I’m in Paris next.

      Good location ”

      Hotel location is good. Walking distant to G.Lafayette. Modern rooms. In general room is clean however, house keeping can be improved. Many restaurants around the area. Easy access from Airport Rosssi Bus ( 5min Walk).

      Good location but bad service for the price we pay”

      Good location. Agida charged us too much more than the rate of the hotel per day. Front desk staff are ok in the morning usually. We were there to relax and not rush but they kept on bothering us to clean the room before lunch. Their cleaning lady is not attentive. Coffee and water in the room Is not refilled. We were upgraded as what the front desk said but we deserved the upgrade anyways coz we paid more than the room's upgraded price. We stayed there for 5 nights. No breakfast included

      Excellent location. Not far from La Fayette and Printemp. Near the two metro line. Hospitable service. Bed is great. But the room is quite small. Overall, the journey here is wonderful.

      Good location, chic hotel”

      I got free upgrade to deluxe room that made my stay more grateful! The location is good and many restaurants are nearby. The room is chic and comfortable, there's a mobile phone with network to use when go out, although I didn't use it, it's very kind. However, the toilet and the towel are not clean enough, and the hdmi plug didn't work.

      Very terrible manners (I am so disappointed)”

      I am conscious that this hotel has three kinds of rooms depending on its price. I was alone, but since I wanted a comfortable stay, I reserved a deluxe room with a costly price. However, after checking in, I realized the room was a cheap superior room. (And I assure, I had reserved a deluxe room through Agoda) I did ask the front desk why the room isn’t what I saw from the website and showed my voucher, but the hotel service kept insisting it was the deluxe room I had reserved. After a long argument, the service finally changed my room to the room I know was my originally reserved room. However, I must say that the hotel employee did not apologize nor admit their mistake. I was very frustrated and upset by the hotel’s attitude. I’ve traveled a lot and have been through countless hotels, but this was the first time I had received such attitude. From a hotel where people from all over the world visits, in the middle of Paris, and even with a four-star rate, I cannot accept such a manner

      Friendly staff and comfortable room”

      Good service, cozy, and clean room

      everything is so perfectly adequate except one thing there's no kettle in rooms. In that case, I had to come to ask for it at front desk every nights during the period of my stay. It's really inconvenient to guests. Fortunately all the staffs are hospitable and helpful.
