Just came from the Intercontinental in London where they are geared for both business and the casual traveler. I knew this was going to be a 'boutique' hotel but would have thought a couple of things like they would get to know our names, or offer suggestions on where to go, what to see. If you asked a question you... More

Dear Guests, First of all thank you for having chosen our hotel for your romantic trip to Paris. I am very sorry to hear that our reception service didn't meet your expectations. We have had an extra person with us because one of our usual team is on vacation but this should of course not be any excuse. But it's... More

I recently stayed in this hotel for few days. Since I was there for some business, I did not quite spend as much time enjoying the charms of this small, boutique hotel. The rooms are sumptuous and service staff all around is polite and wonderful. The breakfast is very good. I had a bit of mix-up and hiccup during my... More

Belated review, but stayed Christmas time 2011. Very nice welcome from the front desk. Good location for 1st timers to Paris. Rooms small but comfortable and clean. Overall a very nice experience. Walking distance to champs élysées, arc Di triumph. Just an overall pleasant stay.

My friends recommended this hotel because they have been there already 2 times. They were right; we also had a wonderful stay. We had an executive room with red silk walls & bed covers. Beautiful. All the staff is kind and very helpful. They booked a Lido show for us and a restaurant for each evening. We were happy to... More

We are currently staying at the Hotel Francois 1er and can't say enough wonderful things about the hotel and the staff. After a long flight from California, we were welcomed with a cup of coffee/expresso while we checked in. The location is wonderful and quiet - yet close to most attractions. We were upgraded to a larger room which has... More

Nice and cosy hotel. Staf is correct, breakfast is decent, however it was not clear it wasn't included. Normal rate for breakfast is 22 EURpp, but we could easiliy negotiate to 15,5 EURpp (62 i.s.o. 88) Extremely good location: near Triomphe, Eiffel, Champs Elysées, but in a quite street.

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

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
