The story of Chopin Boutique B&B traces back to the summer of 2003. During this time, the elegant structure at Smolna 14, which had suffered years of disrepair, underwent extensive restoration work. 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.

Great little hotel!
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.

Loved 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.

Just perfect!
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.

Great value all round and a great location.
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?

A Lovely Stay, With a Few Things That Could Be Improved
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.

A wonderful and special hotel

Sure bet to stay !
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 :-)

Ideal Location and lovely accommodation.
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.

Very good
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.

Excellent place to stay in central Warsaw, very comfortable and well presented.
A charming quiet corner in a busy city. Facilities were very good indeed.

It was an excellent experience
A very unique, boutique, bed-and-breakfast. Located within walking distance of many attractions in Warsaw.
Room temperature was a little hard to control.

Very good place to stay
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)

Overall cost hotel but for the price the room layout should be improved
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

A very good stay.
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!

True Warsaw experience, a must for all Chopin lovers.
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.

Charming stay in the heart of Warsaw
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.

Fabulous
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.

A perfect introduction to Poland and the warmth of its people.
Excellent location. Hotel has a lot of character and warmth. Loved the nightly Chopin concerts. Kitchen staff was welcoming.

Chopin Boutique was an absolute unexpected surprise - from the front desk staff to the gorgeous room
The room is an absolute gem. So thoughtfully and tastefully furnished with classic/antique furniture - and huge by hotel room standards.

Very friendly and comfortable family run hotel
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

Beautiful place in a great location
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.

I had a noisy room.

Outstanding in all respects.
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.

reliable, comfortable and charming as always.
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.

Fun, quirky, an adventure
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.

Go to feel at home in Warsaw
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.

Perfect place for music lovers and excellent value
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.
