Hotel Francois 1er enjoys a superb location, a short walk from both the Champs-Élysées and the Georges V metro station, making city exploration easy. The rooms are generally considered spacious for Paris and feature amenities such as a Nespresso machine and kettle; plus, guests often find chocolates left on their beds each day. The breakfast buffet is appreciated for its good variety, yet some guests have occasionally noted issues with sound isolation from neighboring rooms.

a lovely stay in the city of lights!

local metro attentive staff
The hotel is just a short walk from the local metro station. It is also near the Champs-Élysées. the rooms were clean and perfect for what i needed, including a lift and a/c. i stayed for four nights and the breakfast area was lovely with attentive staff.
you could also hear running water if the neighbors were taking a bath or a shower. the sound isolation was definitely very bad, as i even heard neighboring rooms talking.
Location
10/10
the hotel has an really good location in a reserved and quiet area in the 8th arrondissement. it is central for those who like to walk. it's very close to the metro at george v station. you will find this area is both convenient and accessible.
Service
9/10
The staff were very kind and helpful. They even allowed me to enter my room before the official check-in time, which i appreciated! the team also provides a discreet, yet always available service. any request was handled with efficiency.
Rooms
9/10
The rooms offer all the necessary comforts with benefit and a fine finish. They are also reasonably sized! my room included a kettle and a nespresso machine available for free use. i found the room clean with daily tidying.
