Once the building was restored to its former glory, one resident, Jarek Cholodecki, welcomed his initial visitors.
Every room features a unique theme and distinctive interior design. The original apartment configuration remains intact, ensuring each space is one-of-a-kind. All chambers offer abundant natural light and warm color schemes.
Each space boasts hardwood flooring and contemporary bathrooms equipped with hair dryers. Select rooms include sitting spaces. In-room tea and coffee making facilities are provided, as well as WiFi and satellite television.

A cosy hotel for art/chopin lovers :)
It's cute, cosy hotel with every detail in mind :) It feels a bit like a little museum :) I liked their breakfast with tasty coffee, natural yougurt and their home made jam. The location is great, so close to the old town. They do every day salon concrerts which was amazing. I had some issue with my phone so recepionist Maria helped me a lot, she was so kind and nice. It's definately a place to come back. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

A wonderful time spent there.
Is a very charming place, beautifully equipped with lots of love for details. It's a special place, where one feels at home. The breakfast is very delicious, with typical Polish dishes but also classical breakfast. My favourite were the fried vegetables for breakfast. They care about sustainability e.g offering bikes and home made food. The classical Chopin concerts in the salon are just wonderful.

The cozy atmosphere of the apartment.
The location of the TV, it was difficult to get a clear view when you sat on the sofa. The elevator was extremely tiny, two medium-sized adults had to squeeze together to fit in it.

I will consider revisiting while in Warsaw again.
Stylish room in memory of Bohumil Hrabal has impressed me a lot.
What I dislike was a quality of towels.

A very unique experience
Love the museum-like ambiance that has a personal touch...books and art so ubiquitous.. Food that is redolent of menories with my beloved family who is no longer here.. ..Chopin concerts 🤗 Just wish the boutique guests had access to them as..priority. Excellent coffee and honey !!! Next time I happen to be in Warsaw, would love to get ellucidated on how it all happens... Cannot wait to visit again, with friends..

Don’t mind staying here again when I come next time
Receptionists were great! One helped me with my suitcase, showed me the room etc. Room decor was antique style and cozy. Room was also spacious for one person. The next morning when I checked out (and I had to catch an early train), they made me takeaway breakfast which was very heartwarming and thoughtful.
There was a little stairs before heading up the elevator and I had 2 heavy suitcases. Otherwise, it would have been perfect!

Nice, low cost hotel at a good location
Large room with vintage stuff. Good location.
Bed was uncomfortable.

Charming boutique hotel with beautiful old furniture. Every night at 7pm there is a one hour grand piano concert in the salon (entry around 15 Euro). The location is very convenient and the breakfast good. Very nice staff.
The kitchen in the room lacks basic tools and therefor has more decorative function. The old furniture is beautiful but not always comfy.

Good choice for a splurge & some culture
Each room is unique with cool furniture. There's a fridge and a water boiler. The shower and bathroom were very nice. The building itself is beautiful, and it was easy to take the stairs to the second floor for me. The location is right around the corner from the main shopping strip. I forget the name of the street, but it goes straight into old town. It's also nearer a train station and a tram station. Area felt safe (like all of Poland did to me). Also the breakfast was so abundant and delicious.
The room smelled like mothballs, which is a pet peeve but also unavoidable, depending on their furniture care requirements. I was under the impression that the piano concerts were free for guests, but that was not the case. I still paid the thirteen euros (approx) 💶 To attend on two separate nights. On weekends, the concert can get sold out, so make sure you secure a ticket 🎟 during the morning or afternoon. On week nights, it was very sparsely attended. I liked both pianists even though they had very different performing styles.

I had a great stay at Chopine Boutique in a suite. The suit was impressive, featuring beautiful antique furniture, adding a unique charm. The service was good and the location was convenient, walking distance to the center. The breakfast was enjoyable offering a good variety. There were piano concerts every evening, which added to the atmosphere. I would recommend this hotel for a memorable experience

An ecological and sustainable approach is evident. Unified retrodesign. Profesional personal. Excellent services at the reception. Good location - close to the city center and available public transport.
I appreciate the reuse of old furniture and other equipment. However, I expect a better quality of the reparation work. For example, a small table was somewhat unstable, and the closet door could not be locked. The bathroom was perfectly clean, but I cannot say the same about the furniture in the room.

November time Warsaw city break
It is about a chic, retro style boutique hotel, placed relatively close to major turistic objectives located in the central part of Warsaw, but in a quiet, low-traffic street at the moment of booking. The location is accessible with public means of transportation from airport or West train station.
All were just fine.

A Slice of Heaven on Earth in Warsaw is what I found at Chopin Boutique B&B.
Phenomenal find in historic building that’s been meticulously and lovingly renovated by its owner. Absolutely charming with attention to every detail from the fabulous morning breakfast buffet of authentic and plentiful Polish fare to the lovely and helpful staff and the evening Chopin concerts on the Kawai piano in the pre-war era salon where guests are served wine and a sweet treat during the performance. Then there’s the lovely garden, the bee colonies on the rooftop, the freshly roasted coffee beans, music in the air, “recycled” period furniture and lighting from throughout Europe. What a treasure! I didn’t want to leave…..
I loved everything and every moment at Chopin Boutique B&B.

Good location, a walk away from sights and transit stops. The room was spacious and had a nice atmosphere. Good value for the hotel. Also received some homemade honey which is nice
Wifi was a bit spotty, possibly because the room was at the corner of the floor

The place with its own atmosphere and a lot of interesting details. Attentive and helpful staff.
Nice place with an interesting story. Each room is named after a musician.
The wardrobe wasn’t convenient. it definitely needs at least one shelf.

Loved our stay at Chopin Boutique. Quaint , warm and cute they retain the old world charm. The food is organic and the open kitchen is charming .. each dish is well presented and freshly cooked . Tetiana and Yana deserve a special mention . The food was so good that we chose to have all our dinners here . Last, but not the least , we share appreciation for Jerek , the owner who is an interesting conversationalist and very knowledgable . Additionally every evening there is a piano listen to concert in the premises .
Loved every bit of our stay

Beautiful retro hotel
Outstanding attention to detail. Beautiful retro decor. Comfortable, spacious room. Hidden bathroom. Chopin piano concert downstairs every night. What's not to like!

Best value in a great location.
The location & character of the place are great. It’s one of the best values in Warsaw. The nightly concerts were fantastic & there’s a restaurant on site, which is so convenient (with a free breakfast included).
The only thing that kept me from giving it a solid “10” was that the temperature in my room was hard to control.

October visit in October 2024
Wonderful location. Pretty much close to everything. The hotel was uniquely presented, using recycled furniture, producing it's own honey and a selection of vegetables. Breakfast offered a wide selection and very tasty.. I would definitely stay there again.
Breakfast, even though we had it at 8:00 am, was a bit cold. Milk capsules for tea in the bedroom would have been nice. Here I'm really picking holes in what was really a lovely hotel

A delightful, restful stay at a hotel that offers old-world charm and modern-day convenience.
The room was comfortable and quiet. The hotel, with its unique decor and charm, was delightful. The staff were in all ways helpful and friendly, and went far out of their way to assist me when I got ill and needed to stay a few days longer. The restaurant was a haven of delicious home-cooked style food and good company. I wanted to eat nowhere else while in Warsaw. There are nightly concerts of Chopin music by top-notch performers, to boot. This hotel is an oasis of quiet, old-world charm set just around the corner from the busy streets of downtown Warsaw.

A touch of Warsaw history.
Loved the unique furnishings and character of the rooms. Rooms were quiet (with closed windows). Breakfasts had a nice variety of items. Hotel well situated to restaurants and attractions.
Not always enough hot water for bathing. Bath towels and mats were rather worn.

A special place in Warsaw
The room was comfortable and clean with nice touches to make us feel at home. The staff was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the concert on our first evening. That sets the Chopin apart. We were able to easily walk to the sites. Overall a great place to stay. We would stay there again.

My favourite kind of hotel…feels like coming home
The feel of the place as soon as you walk in, the rickety lift, the attention to detail in the rooms (this is my 3rd year running), the unusual and excellent breakfast, the proximity to the old town, the friendliness of the whole team. And a Chopin concert every day!

Definitely unique!
Definitely a unique place! We had a piano in our room, which was large and comfortable. Comfy bed!
We didn't have hot water in the shower! A bit of a shocker! I took a shower later at night to see if it was better and it was luke warm. Admittedly, I never said anything to them, so can't say if this is the norm. We were with another couple and they also didn't have it but just wrote it off to "quirkiness" of an older hotel.

Room with great character!
We loved the character of the room. Very roomy, yet cozy and stylish. The extra "sitting room" was a delightful place to have a beverage. The breakfast that is included was very delicious and had a great variety of tasty foods to choose from. The staff was very consdierate as well. It was nice to have the elevator to get our luggage up to the room.
We liked everything about it!

Our suite was great, the Antiques were wonderful to behold, the Chopin piano show they host at 7pm was incredible, the breakfast and all their own grown veggies and honey also amazing! This place and all its staff are truly magnificent!
