Chopin Boutique B&B, Warsaw

excellent retro vibe

Great and charming little hotel! About 20 mins walk or a short tram ride from Centralna station, decent and large rooms all with their own quirky individuality, lovely organic breakfast, helpful staff. Fresh coffee in the rooms. Great location for Warszawa nightlife.

Quiet and with character

The life is a little bit of scary but kids like it

Lovely unusual style hotel. Helpful staff. Breakfast is great. Fresh food and coffee. It’s very different to an impersonal hotel chain and I loved that.

I loved the style. But some minor things like no bin in the room could be improved.

One of the best accomodations we have stayed in. We loved the old worldly theme, the amazing breakfasts and it's central location - we walked the whole city! The breakfast had traditional Polish food as well as normal western food and lots of it. We also a dinner in the restaurant which was great. We were so impressed with the variety and their focus on ethical sustainability. The Chopin piano recital is also well worth it.

Nothing

Location was on the edge of the 'old town' but in a quiet location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Cleanliness was 10/10.

The bathroom could have used a shelf for toiletries close to the basin. The restaurant was very busy and noisy at breakfast. Maybe timed sittings could be introduced so that availability of tables could be managed?

The location is unbeatable, close both to the train stop for the airport and to Warsaw’s main tourist attractions; the entire staff is extremely kind and attentive; the vintage furnishings make the atmosphere truly unique, and the room is equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. In short, the hotel exudes very good vibes. The coffee was truly delicious (and coming from an Italian, that’s a real compliment!).

Nonetheless, there are several aspects that could be improved: I understand that the hotel’s charm lies in preserving its antique furnishings/fixtures, but a window—no matter how old—can certainly be repaired (the ones in our room, for example, didn’t close properly, letting in icy drafts, despite the draft stoppers provided.). The water from the bathroom sink drained in a mere trickle; we loved the old-style bathtub, but we appreciated it less when we realised that taking a shower inevitably flooded the bathroom floor. Another point that needs improvement is the room cleaning: the bed was always made very poorly, and the overall cleaning was quite superficial. The shower curtains were dirty and definitely needed a good wash. One last negative note concerns breakfast: I understand that in Poland and other northern countries the savoury side is preferred, but the sweet selection was truly minimal (only one type of jam—good, but still just one—and croissants/pancakes that, unsurprisingly, ran out quickly and were not restocked). Guests who come down for breakfast at 9:30 should find the same selection as those who eat at seven. Briefly I believe that, despite the high product quality, breakfast buffet could also be improved.

Breakfast was very nice, room was clean and had everything needed fort short stay, location was perfect, the staff was quick to respond and help

everything was good, nothing to complain about

Rooms and beds

Showers good but not great. Breakfast room too small and breakfast good but limited

The stories of the life of the artists, the variety of food for breakfast, the concert, the friendly atmosphere. I also liked the small and quirky lift.

Nothing

Amazing, unique place to stay. Gorgeous piano in the background and we loved our room. It was beautifully decorated and huge.

Fantastic design, old building with a great atmosphere; very good location, walking distance to the train station and the old town; very good breakfast.

Chopin Boutique is usually my primary place when staying in Warsaw. The reasons: - downtown location, - reasonable pricing, - very friendly staff, - impeccably clean rooms, - "on-site history lesson" (rooms don't have numbers - instead they are named after famous historical, mostly Polish figures, and one can usually find inside a mini library to deepen your knowledge about the room's patron), - daily Chopin's recitals on premises, - hearty breakfast, to name the few. And this time I was not disappointed - again. The place was quiet and cozy (despite full occupancy that night), and Julia and Ola were perfect and friendly hosts at the reception desk. See you next time :-)

We were upgraded and our room was wonderful . The furniture is quirky and vintage as are the fittings . Breakfasts are extensive and Polish and the staff are very helpful and friendly

Nothing

Beautiful building

The location and the history behind it

Nothing in particular

Very large room by Erupoean standards. Nicky decorated. The location couldn't be more convenient to public transportation, food and the National Museum is right across the street. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

The elevator is tiny. But not really an issue for us.

Location, breakfast and being historical and cosy

-

A chopin concert every night of the week

Limited choice on restaurant menu breakfast ok hot food could have done with covers.

Everything was the most wonderful experience!! The room!!!! The hotel!!! Just fantastic, and the staff, especially Allan was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also great, and the coffee is the best since I’ve left Australia!!! The Chopin Concert was an added bonus!!!

Nice hotel, delicious breakfast and good location!

Interesting to be surrounded by Chopin music. Rooms were designated by artist names with info about the artist in each room. Walkable from train station. Staff was extremely helpful about public transportation.

Elevator was not available when I departed. Lights, video equipment was being moved in. That could have been done before 7 am instead of after when people needed the elevator for breakfast or departure.

A charming quiet corner in a busy city. Facilities were very good indeed.

Nothing of any significance

A very unique, boutique, bed-and-breakfast. Located within walking distance of many attractions in Warsaw.

Room temperature was a little hard to control.

The atmosphere, well designed interior, very friendly personal, saloon with grand piano, scenic view from the rooftop.

I wanted a room with piano and thought I booked a room with the one. But I was unlucky. It's better to have a separate category saying "room_type with piano" instead of having just "room_type" in order to avoid false expectations. And the blanket was too small — I couldn’t wrap myself properly and kept sliding out of it at night. It would be great to have a bigger one. But it wasn't critical)

Everything : the breakfast, the beds, the welcome, the Chopin practising during breakfast, the location, the beautiful rooms

Shower water-pressure was a little low

Breakfast was excellent quality food The room was clean and quite The location was central The personelle were all really friendly and helpful

The room layout was strange and awkward The tv was behind the head of the bed and there was no where to sit to see it There was no where to put the suitcase Too much furniture and no suitcase stand

The decor. It’s beautiful and full of character. Each room is different. Hidden secret bathroom!

Breakfast was excellent.

The breakfast was excellent--good breaks, granola, fruit--all I could ask for. Apples too. I asked for a room far from the elevator, but was given a room close to the elevator. However, the "room" was actually 3 rooms, and in the back room-bedroom, I could never hear the elevator. Much room, with chairs and a desk. The nightly piano recitals were great! Wen to two our of three. Though the performers, especially the second one talked too much, instead of playing, the music was fine. Chopin permeates the city--go to the Chopin museum!

The hotel offers a wonderful experience beyond your average hotel stay. The vintage furniture, the building itself, the Chopin concerts every evening is a great way to feel the true spirit of Warsaw. The location is excellent, close to Krakowskie Przedmieście which is quite lively, but at the same time quiet and peaceful.

The bed could be a little better, maybe change of mattress would help.

The hotel's aesthetic is truly its highlight. I absolutely loved the charming mid-century interior design, it felt stylish, warm, and unique. The room was fully stocked with all the necessities: an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer, a kettle, and a coffee maker. Having these essentials made my stay incredibly convenient. The location is fantastic. Being right in the city center made it super easy to walk everywhere and explore. A huge shoutout must go to the staff; the personnel were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze.

Unfortunately, the noise insulation was poor. I could clearly hear almost every sound and conversation from the corridor, which occasionally disrupted my sleep.

I enjoyed my stay in a traditional house setting. It put me in a different world, Poland! They care about food: organic, free range chicken eggs, great honey, etc. Very good quality nice food with a variety and great bread! I wished that I had time for a piano mini concert. It started at 7 and it was hard to make it to come back without supper. Great location, close to main points by walking, but not too busy.

Not much dislike.

Excellent location. Hotel has a lot of character and warmth. Loved the nightly Chopin concerts. Kitchen staff was welcoming.

The room is an absolute gem. So thoughtfully and tastefully furnished with classic/antique furniture - and huge by hotel room standards.

Great location, professional service. Unique accommodations, well appointed artwork.

Property was fine. Staff was professional, though not warm.

This is a period property converted into a hotel it has great character with a courtyard for eating outdoors and very helpful staff. There are Chopin piano recitals every evening and they roast their own coffee

Nothing notable to dislike

This wonderful place came highly recommended by Rick Steves. Location was perfect for exploring Warsaw on foot or catching a bus to Lazienki Park, other destinations or going to the airport. Our room was spacious and comfortable, full of light and we enjoyed having open windows at night. Breakfast was varied and delicious; ladies working in the kitchen spoke Polish, English, Russian and Ukrainian. They were patiently amazing as they prepared eggs multiple times for an elderly gent who wanted to replicate his childhood memories; God knows what he wanted:) We looked forward to nightly concerts in the Chopin Salon, “ an evening of beautiful music, wine, and cheese hosted by Jarek Cholodecki, who runs the recommended Boutique B&B. Each evening, a small group of locals and travelers gather around Jarek’s big, shiny Steinway grand to hear great music performed by talented young artists in a great city”(Rick Steves). Sorry to say, we were always out till late catching up with Warsaw friends and never made it .

Our stay in Warsaw was too short, so we missed a nightly musical recital in the Chopin Salon. Look forward to coming back.

The attention to history, the room names, the food and the philosophy.

I had a noisy room.

An excellent location in the city center, close to the river and neighborhoods of small shops and bars, on a quiet side street. Beautiful facilities, kind and attentive staff, and an excellent breakfast in house. Truly one of the nicest boutique hotels I've stayed in. Highly recommended.

The staff is wonderful; friendly and kind. The rooms are comfortable and really cute - the whole place has a such great character. And they have a free Chopin recital in the lobby that's just so magical. It's really a great place. This is my second time staying there (3 or 4 nights each time) and it's my favorite hotel in Warsaw. Also it's a great walking location to most of the city.

Great hotel with rooms with old furniture, clean, atmospheric, stylish. Very friendly staff, good breakfasts, all the staff at breakfast are also very friendly. Great experience, will stay again

I like the facilities and the location.

This hotel is really quirky and fun! The decor is all vintage - maybe 1930’s. I felt as if I stepped into a Woody Allen movie! The on site restaurant offered delicious authentic Polish delicacies. I really enjoyed the Chopin concert in the salon. Loved that the rooms have names rather than numbers and that the rooms have a written explanation of the spirit that inspired the room. Loved the art all over the hotel and especially in the room.

La decoración en general y el personal que era amable

This was a uniquely quirky place to stay. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff including the owners themselves. The use of interesting old pieces of furniture and locally sourced food ingredients was part of the homely atmosphere. The nightly Chopin recital was like listening to a very talented friend in someone's lounge room!

Our rooms were spacious. The Chopin concert was a lovely experience.

A fair number of stairs to get to the elevator.

The home like vibe and the uniqueness of each room

The place is nice , the location near to the center,the room is big,clean ,with private bathroom.

Nothing

I love classical music and Techno. And for both this hotel is ideal. They have lovely Chopin concerts every evening and with Luzztro there is the premier Techno club of Warsaw right around the corner with a cool diverse crowd. Breakfast is also excellent and the Aircon comes in handy in summer. Location couldn't be better.

Just a detail but the iron they had didn't have steam.
