Central Paris
Welcoming check in process. The room is quiet but had no view at all. Breakfast is chilled but plenty of choice. Hotel bar had events most nights which were also attended by ‘locals’ so it’s quite busy and fun. Hotel is well located and overall very good.

Hidden Gem in the heart of Paris
The check-in and check-out process was seamless. All the staff were very accommodating. This place was jamming and lively until the wee hours in the night. Overall, we'll definitely stay here again.

We stayed for 5 nights for my husband’s 50th birthday. We wanted somewhere special, but not ‘stiff’. After careful research, we landed on Chouchou. There’s lots to like. Beds comfortable, front desk staff helpful & great central location. But we were disappointed overall. We just didn’t feel it had the special touches to merit 4*. Our water bottle in the room was not refilled or cleared once empty (same with the empty box of complimentary macarons). We had to ask for water refills. We requested an ironing board & it was just left in our room for the rest of our trip despite us asking for it to be removed (it’s a big board in a compact room!).
Mainly our issue was with the ‘bar’ which had appealed to us when we were researching hotels. We thought it looked like a fun place to return for a night cap rather than trying to find somewhere in a city so large. Wrong. With the exception of our 1st night (Tuesday) the bar turned into something closer to a sweaty night club or raucous wedding party. Bodies packed in, people dancing on tables & screaming at the top of their lungs. Twice we tried to enter to go to the bar but it was impossible so we took drinks to our room where there was only one chair!
The themed disco nights are not designed with hotel guest experience in mind. We felt isolated from this amenity & looked elsewhere. Our room location meant we didn’t hear noise but imagine other rooms do (see other reviews).
We were also not offered upgrade or use of the baths.
