“Manage your expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

It's a F1, it's not the height of luxury, and with that in mind you'll enjoy your stay.
It can get pretty noisy as the walls are paper-thin, so, arm yourself with earplugs and you'll have a fairly good nights sleep.
In my experience, staying here a few times, it is safe, there are no problems in the car park and the breakfast is exactly as advertised.
You also get a lot of coach parties staying here en route to their final destination. If you're here for just a night, ask reception for a quiet room and you'll hopefully not get disturbed. In room facilities are generally clean, although there are no added toiletries or cups. Shared facilities can be a little grubby, but, there is always plenty of choice to use alternatives in the hotel. I guess the most important thing is to remember they are budget hotels and whilst cleanliness is important they don't have a fleet of housemaids working 24/7 keeping everything shiny... a once a day clean is as much as can be expected and so, you just have to bear in mind the first shower you visit may not be the cleanest...

“terrible place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

this is situated over a car park from a carrefour which is it's only ggod point, although the staff were friendly and the breakfast that typical french breakfast that i love. HOWEVER although it did say so on the booking forms the toilets and showers are at the end of the corridor and are not clean, we skipped a shower. the rooms are v basic but clean just one tiny hand towel provided for a couple and no toiletries or tea/coffee making facilities. It did have wifi though.
At 42 Euro for 1 night it is badly overpriced, we would not stay here ever again

Room Tip: overpriced and toilets/ showers not clean

“Do not book this nightmare hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2010

We booked this hotel for one night before returning to the UK on the car ferry. Admittedly, the website did say the toilet and shower were external, but in such a way that we managed to overlook this when booking. These facilities lacked cleanliness. The building was shoddy and patronised by some equally shoddy clientelle who were at times rowdy and - due to complete lack of sound insulation - contributed to a sleepless night. On arrival we had to elbow our way past drunk anti-social characters congregating outside the entrance with a large collection of discarded wine bottles littered around, clouds of cigarette smoke and possibly worse. We both bumped our heads several times on the third overhead bunk bed in the room, which was tiny. Lack of sleep was compounded by fears that the car would not be safe in the car-park, although we had emptied everything into the room, watched by various suspicious-looking characters. We did not order any breakfast - thankfully - and left very early - not a moment too soon. Having stayed in what was then a brand new F1 hotel once before, we knew roughly what to expect, but nothing could have prepared us for this terrible experience, which was not only the result of run-down premises, but also the fact of it being located in an unattractive area. Next time we take the car to Europe we'll break the journey elsewhere.

If you're a budget back-packer, then maybe this is the place for you, if you don't mind slumming it in dubious company. Otherwise, stay away!
