Hotel François 1er was a perfect place for our quick trip to La Rochelle. Conveniently located in the city center, near the Old Port, museums and plenty of dining and shopping options. We really enjoyed walking the neighborhoods of La Rochelle. The staff was very friendly and tolerant of my beginner French skills. The only problem we had was trying to access the property after we'd picked up our rental car. With construction and one-way streets, my husband was not able to navigate me to the hotel to park and pick up our luggage. We will return and stay longer next time.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room smelled very damp and musty and the bathroom was dirty especially the toilet. There were tea and coffee making facilities but no milk although when I asked at reception I was provided with some. We were too late for dinner which wasnt available at the hotel anyway but they could not even provide us with a vended snack. We went to bed very hungry and very dissatisfied. Breakfast next day was basic but acceptable
