The Francis Boutique Inn

What guests think

Travellers describe The Francis Boutique Inn as a quiet, well-located base with spacious, thoughtfully equipped suites, comfortable beds, and a relaxing hot tub and sauna, making it easy to explore Ucluelet on foot and unwind after outdoor adventures.

Guests often note friendly, responsive communication and smooth self check-in. Rooms are consistently clean and well maintained, though one review mentioned a small housekeeping oversight. Minor drawbacks include occasional late-night noise from other guests, tight or steep parking for large vehicles, and limited extras like no ice machine or in-room fan. Expect a comfortable, low-key boutique stay close to town.

We stayed in suite 3- bottom floor - studio suite. It was cute and cozy, & quite clean and fresh smelling (except for some old pizza sauce spray on the kitchen wall- lol) There were robes and flip flops for the walk to the hottub and sauna - which was great ! The parking wasn’t ok for a big truck - it was steep and gravel and tight spots - but we figured it out 😁

We loved the property. We were in #5-a studio, and were happy with the small kitchenette area with dinette, comfy bed and lovely shower! Robes and slippers supplied for the short walk to sauna and hot tub. Peace and quiet. I like to read at night and could only ask for the night-light to have a dimmer…to respect my partner. All in all a sweet spot in Ukee😊 Staff welcomed us upon arrival.

Wow what a wonderful experience. After a long surfing day in the cold and rain, and then to come back to our warm, cozy, inviting cottage was SO nice. The cottage has a clean and stylish design. You can tell it was put together with care and with the guest's comfort in mind. The amenities all work great. Nice sound proof and warm room, super hot showers (just what we wanted after coming in from the ocean), entertainment, and super comfort beds. Also the cottage was SO clean! The owners were also super responsive and helpful. Got us whatver we needed in a timely fashion. They and the caretakers were very friendly and wanted to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back.

Had a great two-night stay at The Francis Boutique Inn in Ucluelet! The room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The drive to Tofino was scenic and relaxing. We also found it super convenient to have an EV charging station right on the property’s parking lot — a nice bonus for travellers with electric cars!

Property was clean and accurately listed, had nice amenities in the room (nice TV, microwave, fridge, cutlery, plates - was quite well equipped), the only thing is the washroom should have privacy blinds as our unit was able to get an unobstructed view of the outdoor stairs.

We stayed at the Inn for our babymoon and overall had a nice time. We let them know in advance that it was a special trip, and the staff were friendly and welcoming when we arrived. They left a lovely note acknowledging our baby moon and congratulations :) The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable — a great spot to relax. Unfortunately, our first night was a bit disappointing due to noisy neighbors who were up until about 2am making a fair amount of noise inside and outside. It made it hard to get the rest we were really hoping for, especially since this trip was meant to be a peaceful getaway before the baby arrives, and the Inn states a no noise after 10pm request of guests. What was disappointing was my husband having to be the initiator to go and ask the group next to our room (we were in the Queen Suite main floor at the back, #5) at 2am to please let us sleep as this had been going on for quite some time. The rest of our stay was enjoyable, but the noise that first night did leave us with mixed feelings, hence the 3 stars. For the price we paid for 2 nights, we were not expecting it to be a “party space” location. Still, it’s a lovely place overall and location — just something to consider if you’re looking for a very quiet stay.

We stayed in a King Suite and it was a perfect little apartment with everything we needed to be comfortable- two adults and a teen. The hot tub and sauna were amazing to come back to after a day of exploring the rainy beaches and forests. Ucluelet is an adorable town. We will stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Sorry, I didn’t check my email before arriving at the Francis Boutique Hotel. We got there and called the property manager for access to our suite. Karina was very helpful in directing us to our suite and guiding us through the self checking. She even helped to take our baggage to our suite. We walked into the suite and were blown away! So beautiful and welcoming. Everything was there for our three nights stay, enough toiletries and bath supplies. This is a perfect place for young and old couples. I would highly recommend the Francis Boutique Hotel!

The property is wonderful. The apartments are extremely well thought through, with plenty of space and fantastic amenities. Check-in is done remotely but the reception was extremely communicative and responsive. The additional amenities of a sauna and a hot tub felt as a luxury that really elevated our experience. Overall a memorable accomodation that we would love to visit again along with recommending it.
