Excellent hotel, Excellent staff - we loved our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.
Staff were professional, very helpful and friendly. Our room was very clean and comfortable, shower was amazing with great water pressure. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had - great selection and good quality. Location was close to everything we wanted to see/do.

Located on the border of Opera and Centro, is a great luggage. Despite being in the midst of the busy Calle Arenal, the hotel itself was very quiet. Buffet included was diverse enough for fussy eaters to find something. Would reccomend.

Great hotel, great location, superb staff. Bravo!
Cómo siempre un placer volver a recalar en el Hotel Francisco I. Una ubicación privilegiada en la ciudad, sobre una calle peatonal con mucho encanto y en un edificio precioso reciclado con gusto. Todos los servicios necesarios, una sensación de hotel boutique por la atención al detalle, un desayuno delicioso y que, además va cambiando un poco cada día (muy poco frecuente hoy en Europa aún en hoteles 5 estrellas) y con un staff de personal, del primero al último, comprometido con hacerte sentir como "en casa". Fue nuestra tercer estadía en un recorrido de casi tres meses y volveremos antes de partir . Sin duda ya planeando el retorno para la primavera del 2025. Brindaremos (con Cava bien española) por más retornos. Keep the good work and thanks a lot! See u in a few days.
