Hotelf1 Bordeaux Nord Lormont

The room is basically a box with a bed. No towels, (you have to pay if you want one)no soap, toilets are not ensuite (as expected) but have no sink to wash hands. Bed was uncomfortable and sheet was plastic backed bobbly nylon, like an old-fashioned cot sheet. Super basic accommodation.

There were some pros and some cons, so giving a 5/10. This is basically a hostel with private rooms. Pros: -It was clean -beds were comfy -far from center but close to train station -check out at 12 Cons: -awfully thin towels and €3 to use it -rooms are very small -noisy -despiste the sign in the front door saying “English spoken here” the staff I encountered (minus 1 night clerk) didn’t speak English or make an effort to communicate. -perhaps the worst one is that they don’t use sheets on their beds, only mattresses covers, which is very weird to me. I asked and they did give me one but said they don’t normally do that. I did not purchase the breakfast but went down to check it out and I’d never pay €6.5 for croissants and juice (yes, that was it).

The smell of smoke and ingrained grime hits you as you walk through the door. And while the staff were very polite and friendly, the place is like a half way house for convicts. Corridors like those in a prison. Extremely tiny room, people walking around the corridors drinking alcohol with towels wrapped around them . We also felt that the car would not be safe in the car park. We checked in, saw the place, left for some fresh air and booked another hotel elsewhere. Best decision ever . Do not waste your time , money and emotional energy on This place.

Despite the website showing a picture of a bathroom in the room, there were only communal ablutions, and no upgrade options. The cheap, basic hotel that was my "go to" in France is no longer an option. Plus, it now costs 3 Euros, if you want a towel.

The shower room door did not close, the smell was very damp, very small room for two and no fridge. We did not like it and did not stay. The area around the hotel did not look secure and fire doors where left open for all to access. We took one at the room, plus the area and did not stay. Please avoid if you can.

We were on a roadtrip to Spain, we knew we'd get there late and leave early, so the price was our biggest priority; we weren't expecting much. The room was cramped but well designed with a bed for our daughter above our heads. The interesting wallpaper gave us a good few moments of entertainment too, as we counted off the places we'd been that were pictured in the retro travel posters design. Staff at the desk were friendly enough. The showers and toilets were in a separate area, arranged in booths, and the ones we used were clean. It's clearly a travel hotel rather than a "nice" one but there was a definite bonus in getting a ground floor room that backed onto the car park; we could easily load/unload through the window.

Although the reservation cancellation is mentioned via "a link in the page" as available in the Accor Live Limitless reservation management page, after clicking the cancel button in reservation it simply DOESN'T HAVE a cancellation link or a dedicated section for that. This is just a SCAM to avoid that anyone can cancel a reservation. All I wanted to do was to change the date for the night after, and even this wasn't possible... The hotel simply got the money and I didn't even have slept there. For any case, the reservation number was MBNDNBCQ. AVOID bookings at this hotel, I'll never consider it anymore!

The hotel was noisy ... i couldn't sleep until 2am ... but tge staff was friendly
