We stayed 2 nights in Francois 1er and couldn´t have been more happy about our stay. We were in the very heart of the old town of La Rochelle, but on a very quiet street with private (!) parking on an own fenced yard, which seemed almost impossible to find with other hotels in La Rochelle. The room nr.16 we... More

The three of use stayed here, clean rooms, good French breakfast, excellent location for a walk around town after a day in the car. More

This hotel is perfectly situated, in a quiet street, in the city centre, it also has the advantage of limited, (bookable) parking, an option to consider as parking in La Rochelle, is a nightmare. We had a three night stay, room 19 on the ground floor, overlooking the car park, but nonetheless, quiet. We were pleasantly received by the staff,... More

As we left our luggage in the car, we thought we'd get the key first before lugging everything in, and so she assumed we were after something else, rather than guests. The corridors were dark, and it... More

For one night stop on a trip from France to Spain, the hotel was OK. The location is good, the rooms are very small but clean and quiet. Our bathroom had a curtain instead of the door and my sister's bathroom ..only the curtain's hooks! The lady from the front desk explained that this is for security reasons (??? -... More

I stayed here for one night upon arrival in La Rochelle while waiting for my lease to begin on an apartment I had rented. Although it took me nearly an hour and a half to find the hotel after schlepping all my bags from the gare (a policeman finally showed me where to go), I appreciated the central location of... More
