Good location and usually parking on site. Peaceful, quiet and comfortable for our fifth short stay here. Staff are very good, friendly and helpful. Make sure to use their emailed advice to navigate to the hotel, we needed it because our sat nav is not up to date.

Nice place in an excellent location. We have stayed here before and it seems the prices have gone up and the rooms have got smaller. Room was small but adequate. Toilet had a timed light that went off after 10 seconds! We spoke to the owner who said he knew it was annoying but didn’t do anything to change it… breakfast was poor, as was the housekeeping. Front of house stafff were excellent! Lots of art and lovely courtyard! Probably a bit expensive but this is La Rochelle. Will have to up its game to tempt us back a third time.

Hotel in a great location, walk to centre in minutes. Staff so friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet style nice and good choices. No lifts to upstairs, not a problem for us but just a reminder. They do have ground floor rooms. Top tip is prebook parking as limited spaces. Then follow the instructions for getting there. The one way system is a nightmare and ypu havecto go through no entey sign (except access). 2 nights not enough. Will be back...

We absolutely loved our stay at Francois 1er! The family room was spacious and the hotel is tastefully decorated with art and pieces of music items, as this is the overall theme. The kids enjoyed the music corner with headphones. The breakfast was also of a high quality.

A lovely small hotel ideally placed on a quiet street in the heart of La Rochelle old quarter. I stayed here for one night as part of a 2 week cycling tour. It was disappointing that there was no where covered to secure my bicycle and the only bicycle parking offered was at the front of the hotel in an accessible area from the street. I had to pay €20 to put my bicycle in the car park at the side of the hotel that at least had a locked gate. However, it was on the verge and I did not use a parking space yet still had to pay the same as a car. This was the only hotel I used in 2 weeks that charged me for my bicycle and could not offer a covered space. Fortunately it did not rain.

We loved this hotel, authentic with a rock/pop twist. We stayed in the Beatles room, which is up the spiral staircase and for 4 people. The main room has a huge king size bed with separate doors through to the 2 single beds. All staff we met were lovely and friendly. Lovely courtyard area for relaxing/ eating. Walking distance to all the sites and shops. We would definitely return.

Lovely stay. We were only here one night so the location was perfect as we were able to walk to most of the sites and make the most of our short time there. Room was very comfortable and parking was convenient and easy to find with the instructions provided.

Our second time at the hotel. Friendly service and a good buffet breakfast. The hotel is hard to access given the one-way streets in the centre of the city.

Hotel François 1er was a perfect place for our quick trip to La Rochelle. Conveniently located in the city center, near the Old Port, museums and plenty of dining and shopping options. We really enjoyed walking the neighborhoods of La Rochelle. The staff was very friendly and tolerant of my beginner French skills. The only problem we had was trying to access the property after we'd picked up our rental car. With construction and one-way streets, my husband was not able to navigate me to the hotel to park and pick up our luggage. We will return and stay longer next time.

The room smelled very damp and musty and the bathroom was dirty especially the toilet. There were tea and coffee making facilities but no milk although when I asked at reception I was provided with some. We were too late for dinner which wasnt available at the hotel anyway but they could not even provide us with a vended snack. We went to bed very hungry and very dissatisfied. Breakfast next day was basic but acceptable

It's excellently located yet quiet at night. We were in a family room so it was great to have the beds upstairs. The only thing we would have liked to have was air conditioning - I image it will get very hot in the family room during the hotter Summer months. They provide you with Dyson fans which are OK but still make a reasonable amount of noise.

Nice hotel , very Arty, lifht hearted and entertaining Art works.Bed was comfy, nice linen. The bathroom was difficult. The shower was inside a minute bath and was about a metre high to climb into. There was no holder for the shower head so you had to wash one handed and I needed to hold onto the rail as well because I have mobility problems. Generally the staff were lovely, parking was 15E a night which I thought was very expensive, although La Rochelle in general was overpriced. Good location in town centre.

The property was located off the beaten path which was lovely for getting a feel for La Rochelle. We loved the hotel architecture and music and culture-centred décor. Rooms were clean and stylish, and the hotel lobby and hallways offered many visual delights. We were only a 10 minute walk to the waterfront but shops and cafes and restaurants were only a few steps away. This was a wonderful place to stay that was not an ordinary hotel chain.
