Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Chess Hotel enjoys a superb location that guests appreciate, being within a short walk of the Opera Garnier, Galeries Lafayette, and the Paradox Museum, making it ideal for exploring Paris. Many find the rooms comfortable, with some on the 4th floor featuring balconies that offer pleasant views of the Parisian rooftops, and particularly appreciate the clean bathrooms with strong showers. The breakfast is a much-appreciated inclusion and the air conditioning works perfectly; however, a few guests have mentioned that some rooms felt a little small. Some may want to play a game of chess using the chess board in the reception area.
