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. More

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

Im a first timer in Paris. Upon checkin, i was greeted immediately and was assigned a room on the first floor. The window oversees a very pretty inner garden. You can hear birds chirping. The room is very artistic with 'museum' like paintings on the wall and is nicely decorated with bright red pillows on the bed. The closets are... More

This hotel is well located, comfortable, the staff are great and knowledgeable, the bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and well presented, tidy hallways and luxurious common areas. The bar is pretty good too. I felt the windowless breakfast room was poor compared with the standard of the rest of the hotel. I also feel the breakfast is the Achilles heel... More
