This is an amazing boutique hotel right in the heart of Paris. It's a minutes walk from the best shopping streets and within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, Louvre and Arc de Triomphe. The service is exceptional and without fault and the rooms are luxurious. It feels like a home away from home. The breakfast is lovely and there... More

We stayed at Hotel Francois 1 er because their sister hotel, Hotel Keppler was over booked and we agreed to stay here one night. We were glad we did and would go back. We would say that Keppler is a slight step up but for the money and the better location, this is a very good option for someone who... More

We loved our stay at the Francois 1er, it is a beautiful hotel perfectly located near the metro George V in a quite area although close to the Champs Elysee. It felt like a B&B deluxe, we really felt very welcome and treated like special guests, not just clients in a hotel. Our double room was not too big but... More

Paris had been our last stop for our Christmas/new year european honeymoon. We were to stay in Paris from dec 29th till jan 3rd. We had chosen Francios 1er based on trip advisor's recommendations and I must say, it is a very good hotel if you are staying one or two nights. Location is very ideal if you are looking... More

I generally like large hotels with modern decor. The Hotel Francois was small, "boutiquey" and traditional, and, in spite of this, I liked it very much. Our suite was equipped with 5 star quality furnishings... luxurious draperies, ultra-high quality furniture, exquisite wall coverings and a very comfortable king bed. ( real king bed; not 2 twins put together) The bathroom... More

We stayed in the Francois 1er hotel for our Christmas shopping. We warmly recommend this hotel. From the beginning we were well taken care of. The room was good size and we loved the decoration. The whole hotel was very beautiful. Everyone in the staff was kind and professional. We were also pleasantly surpriced with the buffet breakfast. We have... More

We love this hotel. I can't believe that someone wrote that the breakfast area is dark and that they would have gone elsewhere for breakfast given the chance! The rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff are great. This is our second stay at the hotel and we would certainly stay here again. In all honesty though this isn't... More

We visited Paris and the specific hotel in Nov. 2011. In general the hotel was ok and the pricing could say acceptable if you consider its Paris. Don't expect anything fancy etc, it’s just a regular hotel located in a quiet street (the back rooms not recommended as the very dark and depressing). The area where the breakfast is served... More

I have just come back from a long weekend in Paris. We were originally booked into this hotel for 2 nights, 9th and 10th Dec, when we got there they explained that the hotel had been double booked and they had put us up in another 4* hotel a 5 minute walk away. The gentleman at the front desk, could... More

Everything previous reviews have said is true, but there are a couple of things that you may find useful. 1. Breakfast is served until 11am. :-) 2. Wifi is free. :-) 3. There is no hospitality tray to make a hot drink. :-( More
