Friendly but reserved staff, asked in the booking for a quiet room, was well located but heard everything from the street and if the neighbors where taking a bath or a shower you could here the running water if it was in your room. Definitely very bad sound isolation. Also heard the neighboring rooms talking. Clean hotel small and cost but overall no 4 star rating in my kind of view.

Poor location, far walk to services such as groceries and pharmacies. Services within the hotel are minimal. front desk never answered the phone. Breakfast was underwhelming. Bar was never attended. Loud plumbing, thin walls, heard my neighbors in the night. charming hotel, but would not recommend.

Beautiful building, mostly friendly staff, great location. But that’s about all I can say for this hotel. Executive room was disappointingly small. Linens and towels were disappointing. Internet was intermittent. I would not stay here again, nor recommend it to anyone. There are nicer hotels in the area.

Solid 4 star hotel centrally located to the Arc de Triumph and Champs Élysée! Great location, typical Haussmann type hotel with lovely decor and comfortable rooms. Added perks of lovely seating areas in the lobby and they offered breakfast. The only downside for Americans is that in my experience they are not as friendly and conversant in English as other hotels in the 5th and the 2nd. If they were a bit less transactional, I would have rated this hotel perfect. Otherwise very lovely stay.

I stayed for 5 nights at Francois 1er last month and was deeply disturbed by your staff at the breakfast area. There were 2 Asian workers who greeted me when I went down on the first day (25th march) for breakfast. After serving me coffee, he proceeded to show me the songs he downloaded on his phone and continued to harass me to purchase a free download card for him. He is an employee of the hotel and such action is totally unacceptable and inappropriate. After I ignored him and said I am busy, he walked away but came back again to show me the songs on his phone. I left without finishing my breakfast. His disturbance caused a lot of discomfort in me and I did not dare to go down for breakfast for next 4 days of my stay there. I did not dare to order breakfast in room as well lest he discovers which room I am in. I did not complain on site the very same day as I worry he might gang up with other staff to make things difficult for me during my stay at the hotel. Besides this incident, the aircon vent of my room 407 was so noisy, rattling the whole night and I could not sleep at all. I’ve a video of that, recording the sound and let the concierge staff listened. He changed my room for 28th and 29th when I rechecked in. There were many times when I left or enter the hotel with my big baggage(s) but no staff assisted in any way. I am very disappointed in hotel Francois 1er at 7 Rue Magellan, Paris, France, 75008. This is No premium hotel at all but most importantly you MUST discipline that Asian staff who harass your in house guests. I've since received a reply from Stephanie addressing this issue that "For your information since last Monday he went on long-term sick leave." However, I question which staff and how would Stephanie know which staff mentioned was the problematic one? To conclude, there was no compensation of any sort offered and no remedy could be provided now. I maintain the impression I have of Hotel Francois 1er and would definitely discourage any traveller(s) from staying here despite its convenient location.
