I have to caveat this review by saying we spent a very small amount of time actually in the hotel as we had a very crammed agenda for the weekend, but the location was perfect - moments away from the sleepless Champs Élysées yet nestled discretely in a beautifully peaceful street. We checked in late (very very late in fact)... More

The hotel staff duped us of 100 € by misinforming us that breakfast is included in the room rent and despite knowning it wasn't, we belived him and ended up paying 100€ for 2 days. The saddest part is while checking out we saw another customer complaining the same thing while checking out, so I think its a routine practice.... More

We checked in very early April 27 for 4 nights. We expected that we would have to wait for our room to be available as check-in was at 3 pm, but it was ready and we were able to go to our room and rest a bit from our night flight, before checking out Paris for the first time. This... More

A great choice for our weekend visit. Such a convenient location. A quiet street only a short walk from the Champs Elysees and the George V Metro Station. As well as being close to a number of restaurants and bars. Professional, friendly and very informative staff. When we checked in late on the Friday the evening receptionist gave us some... More

Stayed here five nights (April 21-25, 2013) and the overall experience was a bit of mixed bag. Loved the hotel location,convenient yet quiet nieghborhood. The receptionist, however, varied greatly in terms of attitude and helpfulness. When we arrive at the hotel early afternoon we received very warm greeting and personable staff, however, the fellow that held the desk during evening... More

The hotel was a great choice for our xmas in Paris! Small but cozy and with an incredible breakfast spread for an American traveling around Europe. The room was small but beautiful and the bathroom more than made up for the cozy size of the room. Its location was perfect, just off the craziness of the Champs but still close... More

A lovely hotel in a good location, just off the Champs Elysee. Loved the little breakfast room and the overall feel of the hotel is just what you might expect. Unfortunately our room was not ready when we arrived and the only negative was a rather large and unappealing stain on the bedroom carpet which was off putting and the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Francois 1er for three nights in a standard room, and found the hotel to be a real find just off the Champs-Elysees. The hotel itself was charming - reception was handled at a desk in the lobby in a very personal and professional manner, there is a bar and two seating areas. The... More

Just back from Paris. Took a family trip with my two girls. Our suite was large for Paris standards and the sofa bed was a welcomed additional sleeping area. The staff was attentive and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. I liked the location, quietly tucked a few blocks from the Champs Elysee. We enjoyed being close to restaurants, shops...

This is an excellent hotel. The staff are very friendly and will do anything to make your stay pleasurable. The hotel is fitted in an elegant and modern way and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is an extravagant buffet with anything you can think of available. The hotel is within close walking distance to the Champs Elysses. If... More
