Hôtel F1 Reims Tinqueux

Excellent guy on reception. Airy and spacious atrium. Basic but functional rooms (as expected) and clean en suite. Bike storage available. Decent breakfast; the hot chocolate was delicious! Stayed for one night en route to Eurostar and it was just what we needed.

One night stay here on way to Spain…. Yes it had car parking and was dog friendly but that’s the only positives really…. Floors and stairs unclean…. Rooms beyond basic. Paid for breakfasts but when we got downstairs at 7.20 am it had all gone …. Waited 30 mins but no sign of it being replenished!

The worst hotel I've ever stayed in. We were arriving after reception closed, so were asked to call to get instructions for getting our keys. We tried to call 8-10 times but there was no answer. On arrival at 10.30pm, reception was closed with a sign that said 'wait for reception to re-open'. Eventually we managed to contact a manager who came to help/ It was clear they couldn't find our booking despite me having the booking ref and having paid in full. Eventually they found double rooms instead of a family one as we had booked. One of the rooms was in a complete state - a full wall poster was fallen off the wall and had to be climbed over to get to the bed, the bathroom stank and the bedroom door lock was impossible to ell if it was locked from the outside or not. We will never stay in an F1 again!

This was a motorway trip stopover on way back to UK so we were looking for a budget hotel close to motorway and in that way it ticks the boxes. It’s pretty run down, room was fine for two adults two children. We arrived at 4pm but no reception open till 5pm so had to go out, A few dodgy characters walking around and smoking outside doesn’t make it very family friendly. I would be careful leaving stuff visible in your car overnight. Overall it’s run down but for a few hours kip is cheap and does the job

If you want squalor, there is no better stay in France. Hairballs, dirty tables and chairs, plop-stained toilets, radiators barely attached to the wall, orange sheets with wafts of sewage and mouldy mop burping from the toilet every so often. The room stank. Capped off an awful night’s sleep in a terrible cold room with a non functioning heater hanging off the wall (with no instructions) and a rattling window which would not close with the most depressingly awful breakfasts. One of the guests sneezing on the bread just about topped off an absolutely diabolical experience. No staff to complain to. Avoid this hovel at all costs.

It's a budget hotel, so you don't expect much. You allow for the tiny room, the budget-style bed arrangement, the small bathroom etc. but the bathroom could use a touch of paint and some maintenance as there were some broken fittings etc. The room was exactly as we expected (travelling through, arrived 9pm, just wanted a quiet place with a comfy bed, and that's what we got). The big let down was breakfast. It was a sad baguette on a broken cutting board, some slices of brown bread, a few butter pats, and some cream cheese. There was zero effort put into the breakfast. With a little attention, the experience would have been 1000% improved. Reception staff were very friendly.
