I had a very comfortable stay at the hotel. Very luxurious and quiet at night. Good airconditioning. Cozy room. Helpful friendly staff. Good breakfast. I found it a bit hard to find, at first, but it is an advantage to be away from the noise of the Champs Elysees. I now prefer boutique hotels, such as this one. I highly... More

Me and my wife stayed here for our honeymoon. We were early to check in, but they not only gave us a room but upgraded us to a better room for FREE! The room was large and very nice, the bathroom was the best one we stayed at in Europe. The staff was very friendly and spoke English. Breakfast was... More

I stay at the Francois 1er each time I visit Paris. It is on a small and quiet street, Rue Magellan, right off the Champs Elysse and a block and a half from the supreme Henry V Hotel. The managers/owners greet guests warmly and remember if you had been there before. Check in is a simple affair and, although I... More

I just came back from my first trip to Paris. While partly business and partly pleasure, I wanted a hotel convenient to many major parts of Paris as possible. This hotel fit the bill exactly. It is literally three short blocks to the Champs Elysees and L'arc de Tromphe not to mention shopping Louis Vuitton for example. Taxi rides can... More

Our travel agent recommended this hotel and it was an excellent choice. Located minutes from shopping and L'arc de Triomphe? The rooms are quaint and the hotel is located on a very quiet side street. The staff was VERY prompt and efficient. We would definitely return.

The hotel is beautiful, service is very good; super friendly staff...I loved staying there. The only problem was the bed, it was too small. My husband and I are very tall and we kept falling of the bed. It looked smaller than a queen bed, but when I asked they told me that's the standard. They told me next time... More

Charming boutique hotel located in a great location. Walking distance to the subway, restaurants, and shops. Check-in and check-out was seamless; turn-down bed service with chocolates, music, and printed weather forecast was a nice touch after a long day of touring/sightseeing. Continental breakfast was filling and a great way to start the day. Hotel staff demonstrated superior customer service. They... More

I stayed with my teenage son for three nights. First impressions were excellent when we were greeted warmly upon our arrival. Whilst we did not eat lunch or dinner, breakfast offered a good selection and friendly service. The location is perfect for shopping on the Champs Élysées and also near excellent restaurants and perfectly near to George V metro station.... More

Although the Francois 1er is on the small side, the excellence comes in attention to detail. This hotel has a very competent staff who are willing to go the whole way to provide a good, personal experience for their guests. They work as a team - it appears they are cross trained to get the job done. Our favorite was... More
