  Cycling Stay Was Perfect

  25 Sept 2026

  This was an outstanding choice for a stay in La Rochelle during our cycling trip. Lots of funky aesthetics, professional and knowledgeable staff, WOW breakfast, quiet neighborhood, yet so close to everything. We knew our bikes would be safe, too. Highly recommended.

  Great hotel in the centre of La Rochelle

  18 Sept 2026

  Lovely hotel right in the centre of La Rochelle. Stayed for 2 nights and there was plenty to see in this lovely town. The room was modern, light and comfortable with adequate facilities. My husband is a wheelchair user and the room has all the adaptions he needed. The hotel is quite difficult to find as there are a lot of one way streets but the hotels parking is a blessing. Francois Premier, Propriétaire at Hotel Francois 1er, responded to this review Thank you very much for this lovely review!We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and particularly appreciated our central location, your comfortable room and the accessibility adaptations provided for your husband. It is very important to us that our guests with reduced mobility can stay comfortably and independently.We are also pleased that our private secure parking was useful during your visit. As you mention, reaching the hotel by car can be a little challenging because of the historic centre and its many one-way streets. For this reason, we send detailed access directions with every reservation to make the journey as straightforward as possible.Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you both back to La Rochelle very soon!Warm regards,The Hôtel François 1er team

  Good hotel, great location.

  18 Sept 2026

  Have stayed a number of times. The location with secure car parking is excellent.On this visit, thought at first the carpets were dirty. They weren’t, just old & worn out. There is also no area which can be used as a sitting/relaxing space. Was told we couldn’t use the breakfast room.Despite the above, this is still a very good hotel with friendly & efficient staff. We will return. Francois Premier, Propriétaire at Hotel Francois 1er, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you very much for your continued loyalty and for taking the time to share your experience. We are particularly pleased to hear that, despite your comments, you still consider François 1er a very good hotel and that you intend to return. Our team will be delighted to welcome you again!Regarding the carpets, we would like to clarify that they are actually new. Their deliberately aged, vintage-inspired appearance is part of the artistic design of the hotel, and is intended to create a slightly distressed effect in keeping with our Pop Art identity. We understand, however, that this particular style can easily give the impression of a worn carpet at first glance.We are also rather surprised by your comment regarding the breakfast room. Our breakfast room is available to guests outside breakfast service, and there should be no reason for you to have been refused access to it. We will certainly look into what happened on the day of your stay. In addition, our courtyard is freely accessible to our guests throughout the day, and is a lovely place to sit and relax when the weather allows.Thank you once again for your loyalty and for your kind words about our friendly and efficient team. We look forward to welcoming you back to La Rochelle very soon!Warm regards,The François 1er Team

  Excellent hôtel idéalement situé en centre-ville

  Excellent centrally located hotel. Perfect for exploring La Rochelle, close to shopping and restaurants. Nice ambience with entertainment memorabilia on display. Friendly and efficient reception. Parking available. Have stayed on several occasions and will do again.

  Lovely hotel, perfect location

  21 Aug 2026

  Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this gorgeous hotel, quietly situated off the main thoroughfare. It was clean, comfortable and brilliantly located in the heart of historic La Rochelle. The staff were always helpful and the internal courtyard was a lovely spot to have breakfast or sit and read. I'd edfinitely come again.
