We had a double room which was lovely little and compact. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean. The location was good and excellent in old town.

I was travelling to La Rochelle for one night. The hotel served fresh bread, cereals, pastries, yoghourt, and fruit for breakfast. I had a pleasant time here and would come here again.

The continental breakfast was the best part of our very nice stay.

The dining room served a wide array of meals for breakfast.

The units are tastefully decorated, neat with a view. The breakfast is served in the dining room! The staff is thoughtful, an absolute asset to this the place.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel in the very center of La Rochelle. The location couldn't be better - conveniently within the city center, making it easy to explore all the attractions on foot. Plus, it offered parking, which is a huge bonus in a busy place like this.

All was great, nothing to complain about.

Loved it during our really really nice stay. Everything was lovely, though we stayed for 2 nights only. The location was excellent for walking around Place de Verdun. It was located in a quiet area close to the cafes and shopping, nearby brasseries, and the historic old town. The staff were patient and helpful and gave us good recommendations.

Casual, clean and basic in a good central location for shops.

Breakfast room was a bit dark and grim - like an old train station waiting room. But it was fine and coffee and croissants were good.

To go to musee des automates it will take you 10 min walking. I got free upgrade and appreciated it.

Had a really comfortable stay during our christmas. The hotel was in a marvellous position short walk to the harbour, the market square and the old port. Furthermore, it had easy access to Place de Verdun. We didn't feel like leaving, totally recommend.

It was in a marvellous location with Place de Verdun nearby.

exceeded expectations in every way. Unique art and funky decor added a cool vibe. Clean, well-located, and friendly staff. Perfect stay in La Rochelle.

Noisy street outside at night.

This hotel is situated in the city centre, and has limited parking, it is therefore very convenient to all the facilities that La Rochelle offer. The parking facility is the main attraction of the hotel, which is situated in a quiet street, in a old building.As such repairs & maintainence always needs attention, and this hotel certainly does.We had a ground floor room, number 19, which was smallish, but adequate, the staff were first class, but the breakfast was very poor, little choice, and when compared with other hotels on this trip, and there were five, this was the least satisfying, but all charged 8 euro's per night, per person. If this hotel received the reguired attention, because of its location, it could increase its rating to 3 star, but it has some way to go.We have used this hotel group on other occasions, and our views on breakfast etc, has not fundementally changed.They appear fixed to a routine/price structure

The Comfort Hotel François 1er is a 2-star hotel, so you get the usual 2-star trappings - rattling door handles, slightly grimy walls, small bedrooms (but the basic amenities were there and once we fixed the shower fittings it was all good). Fair enough! But, the staff were excellent and very attentive from the moment we arrived until we left. The François is in an excellent location in the old city, close to the port and its restaurants, bars and shops (and these days a good sat-nav will guide you easily through the one way system to the hotel's address), and the secure courtyard parking meant we didn't have to unpack the car. We enjoyed a good continental buffet breakfast and were back on the road sans fuss!

The hotel provides great facilities including secure parking and a delicious breakfast with a variety of options. Additionally, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, being close to all the best attractions in the city center, but in a quiet area.

Nothing not too like.
