Urban Style Francois 1er

"Spent a lovely few days at the Francois 1er. Overall it's good value and the location is excellent - it's a quiet location but you're only 2 steps away from the shopping areas and the harbour. Staff were really great. Bathroom in our room I think had recently been upgraded because it was spotless and the shower was excellent. Only slight negative is that there's no cooked breakfast available other than boiled eggs, but what is provided is fresh and there's a reasonable variety for a 3* hotel. Good coffee! Please note the hotel has no aircon, but most rooms have shutters so if you keep these closed and the windows closed when it's hot outside it's fine. Our room had a decent fan as well so we had no issues sleeping. We would stay here again if visiting La Rochelle."

"The location was ideal, right in the center of the city, and the hotel itself was beautiful. The only downside was the shower: when you closed it, water would leak out. Also, the bedroom full carpet was extremely dirty, which was a shame because everything else in the hotel was impeccable. Friendly - Helpful - Lady At The Reception. Thank you. • “Beautiful Hotel in the Heart of the City”"

"Great location, nice and clean rooms, great shower service after the marathon. However the breakfast is not good value with too limited choices for 14€."
