hotelF1 Reims Tinqueux

Recently stayed here as an overnight rest en route to our final holiday destination. We booked a budget hotel to keep costs down, and the price was definitely a plus point. The hotel itself is as one expects - a budget hotel close to the motorway - but a couple of things really left us disappointed. Firstly, although the bedrooms are neat enough, there is a complete lack of decor that leaves one with an impression of what it might be like to spend time in a prison cell. The room was neat and clean, but had nothing one would consider comfortable. A tiny double bed with pillows like half empty sacks of potatoes meant we didn’t really get the rest we needed midjourney. Some small things like decent pillows, USB ports and lighting that didn’t give off an Alcatraz vibe would go a long way to improving overall comfort. Secondly, and this is the absolute dealbreaker, is the pathetically small shower. Honestly, so small that lifting your arms to lather your armpits was impossible, or turning around would mean bumping the shower tap off. If you can’t enjoy a decent shower after a day behind the wheel, then what’s the point? We cancelled our booked stay for the overnight leg and paid an extra 20€ at another budget hotel that was, simply put, at least three times better. Not even close. The hotel does what it says on the tin, but there are a few small things that make what should be a basic overnight stopover a really uncomfortable stay.

Very basic but nice staff

Staff amazing, hotel good

We stopped for a night, the bathroom smelled quite bad, there is no lift and we were put on the top floor with a dog. Plenty around the hotel itself

No fan or air conditioning i stayed with kids and it was very warm asked for a fan but was not available been told to open window which did work abit

Awful stay, the room is very basic, felt like a hostel, definitely not for a family stay. And the windows are not sound proof, we heard noise all night long, from motorbikes to every conversation outside. I would not recommend at all

Very shocked to get an email the day before our stay saying the hotel provides no towels!! Probably won’t book this chain again this was extremely inconvenient.

I was really late checking in but phoned ahead and my room key was left in a secure box for me lady on the phone was excellent.

Just needed bed for night on long journey. Very basic cramped room. Clean. Very hot even with window open. Good shower though cramped for space.

Good for the price

Cheap and cheerful accommodation to rest your head. Plenty of places to eat nearby, room and shower were clean.

Arrived late and tired after flying in from the states. This hotel seems to be for delivery van drivers as the parking lot was full of them. Lots of big dudes hanging around outside smoking cigarettes. Everyone was friendly but I can see it being intimidating if you were a lady traveling alone. The free parking was nice.

A basic but entirely functional motel. We stayed on route to the Alps with 2 adults and 2 kids in one room. Absolutely served the purpose. No frills but that’s not what we were after. Would use them again.

Receptionist was fantastic, lots of late check ins but managed it really well.

Great hotel for price Very basic amenities Rooms small just a double bed in the room and the tv only has French channels lol 😂

Good for the price I guess but take your ear plugs

Budget hotel

A nice, clean and affordable hotel. The staff were great and very helpful.

Great value for money. It may not be the smartest, have highest quality furnishings, have the biggest en-suite but its got a comfortable bed and everything you need for a good nights sleep.

Very uncomfortable. Felt like I was in prison on death row. Horrible vibe. Fix it.
