Comfort Hotel François 1er  

Location was good and in a quiet place.

Central heating was not good. Had to have electric fire. Beds not comfortable. Would prefer a head height bracket for the shower.

Friendly staff, great location, good price. The room was a little tired, but what do you expect with the price. I would definately recommend it.

We had a room for two people that came with two bedrooms which was great for our young baby. Lovely place, very atmospheric and made a change from 'me to' modern hotels chains. We needed to travel through night and arrive at 3am...hotel staff were there to see us in and were very kind.

Kitchen only had hot plates...could do with an oven or microwave really,

The location is excellent for anyone who wants to visit La Rochelle as the hotel is very close to the port, restaurants, and shopping. It's located in an interesting building that is definitely not in the class of "bland chain-like hotels" and it's reasonable value for what it delivers.

The breakfast is served in a darkish room and isn't great value for the EUR7.50 that's charged. People who need a lift shouldn't stay in this hotel as there are lots of stairs to navigate. The parking is labelled as "may incur a charge" but the hotel will charge EUR7.00 per night - not a lot, but this charge should be clearly stated up front. Finding the hotel requires you to navigate the on-way system in La Rochelle - be prepared to read maps or use a sat-nav.

Cheap, central and car parking

Slightly dated look. Breakfast area small.

Our stay was something wonderfully unexpected. The staff were lovely and helpful, the location perfect right in the middle of the town. The room was small but cozy and clean, you don't need much to feel comfortable. We slept very well, there weren't much noise at all.

The breakfast for 7.50 Euros is a bit dear for what offers. I'd have expected some hot food (scramble eggs, etc..)

Excellent city centre location.

Very difficult to find due to awful one-way system that even local police couldn't explain. Also constant sound of running water. Old plumbing or a fault ?

Faultless for the price. Great location - 2 mins walk to fantastic food markets, boutiques, waterfront. Free parking onsite which is a rarity these days. Spacious rooms with good bathroom. Special mention to the owners who went over as above any normal level of service to help us when our baby fell ill. They organized a doctor to visit in the room, went to the pharmacy to pick up medications and rang around looking for a specialist for us. Amazing service which will not be forgotten. Lovely people and a reminder of what real service used to be about.

Being picky, beds could be updated but they were still comfortable. Also wifi was a bit intermitant in our room (furthest away from the router) but we were using iPhones...

Clean, compact pleasant helpful staff..in essence simple but with a little bit of class

Access through the one way system of the town was very frustrating

The staff was very friendly and accomodating.

The bed was not supportive of two people making for a very uncomfortable night of sleep.

all just as expected- good

A lovely hotel. The lady on reception made us feel like it was a real pleasure to have us staying there. The rooms balanced modern comfort with old world charm. They have secure parking (rare for the old city of La Rochelle) but you have to make sure you book that in advance.

Very interesting courtyard building in old centre, nice staff

Very basic breakfast
