Pretty great stay and only a 15 min walk from The Lourve, 2 minute walk to Opera Garnier and Gallerias Layfette. Would definitely recommend staying here!

great location & hotel staff, but a lot to improve
great location, very nice staff and a nice breakfast buffet. rooms are too dark, with no sun light at all (we stayed on the left side), people smoking in other rooms made it impossible to open the window. the bed is very uncomfortable (very cheap mattress). and since there is only one entrance to the hotel, you will often find yourself entering or leaving the elevator when they take out the trash!

Dear Zohar, I would like to thank you for having taken time to note our hotel and for your review on Expedia that will help us to improve our service.I am very sorry for the problem encountered with smokers as this is forbiden to smoke in our rooms, if reception contacted, I am sure they will manage to ask other guests not to smoke.Our mattress are changed often and the one from your deluxe is a 28cm high, the maximum possible usually very appreciated for its confort : because some guests complained it was too hard, we put on over mattress to make it softer (and I know other guest could prefer not to have it and keep a hard mattress)I am sincerely sorry that the rooms was too dark and I know it could one of the trouble of this deluxe room.As many hotels in Paris where any inch of space is expensive, we are obliged to make choices, and I have to say that the previous hotel did not even have elevator from the ground floor : it's true that our cleaning team is also using it (trolleys and big bags of trash can't be manage by stairs) and you could sometime  see them, usually on early on the morning and in the middle in the afternoon when finishing.Best regards Pierre-Louis

Nice clean hotel, great location with clean rooms and friendly staff. They had an issue with the lift when we stayed, offered us to find another hotel or give us a discount. We stayed and they refunded us the discount as promised, no chasing, no hassle unlike most airlines and hotel chains. I would stay there again. Thanks.

Excellent stay in Paris
My gf and I spent 6 nights in this hotel. The location is perfect. Nice room and services. For improvement : some basic utensils should be ready in room e.g glasses for drinking and wine opener. I needed to request for it in two different nights which i believe those should have been ready in room.

Good Hotel With Spotty WiFi
Overall, the hotel is nice as is the area around it. The service is attentive and the rooms are clean. The only major downside is that the WiFi service was spotty. I had difficulty connecting to webinars that I needed to participate in. For this reason, I would not stay in the hotel again unless the WiFi connectivity was improved significantly.

Modern, stylish, comfortable
The room was typical European size (small) but very beautiful and comfortable. The front desk reception was so friendly and made me feel very special. I read in other reviews that you must ring a buzzer at street level and then come up the elevator to reception on the 1st floor to check in (after that, your room key will open the door and elevator) and that was very helpful to know in advance. I very much enjoyed my stay at The Chess.

Highly satisfied!
Very nice hotel in a well located place. We were near plenty of restaurants and a short walking distance from the Opera Garnier (where the phantom of the opera was inspired from). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally spacious for a hotel in Paris. Free movie channels were provided and good internet. There were washcloths in the bathroom (unusual in France), free slippers and bath robes (in the larger rooms). The air-conditioning worked well even in mid-season. I recommend this place to all who are wanting to visit Paris without compromising comfort and paying a fortune.
