hotelF1 Amiens Est (renovated)

Contacted the hotel to rearrange booking due to covid 19, was promised new dates, For 3 weeks the booking did not change, it has now disappeared , so much for the promises by erick . (staff) .looks like i was lied to after all.

Words cannot describe how bad this hotel is. We got to the room and it had a top sheet which was dirty - fortunately the pillow cases and top sheets were ok. The mattress consisted of a 4inch thick bit of foam on top of a hard wooden plank. The walls were dirty and had food (or god knows what else stuck to it) There is only a sink in the bedroom - no toilet or shower. The toilets and showers are communal and were not pleasant at all, after a round trip to Paris I didn’t even bother showering. We were also kept up all night by people slamming their bedroom doors going to the toilets in the middle of the night. At 4am I gave up with sleep and read until 8am and then left as quick as I could. It is really not worth trying to save money for €30 when you can stay at a HolidayInn for €70 and have the comforts every human being deserves.

If all you're looking for is a bed for the night and some breakfast that keeps you alive in the morning then this'll do you proud! Less than £30 for 2 people with an all you can eat breakfast of baguette, toast with preserves, 2 types of cereal, OJ and choice of hot drinks. OK flat screen in room with the funky double bed/bunk bed over affair and free WiFi. The shower and toilet is located outside the room but never more than 10 meters away and the showers are honestly some of the best I've had. Nice and powerful and as hot as you want, supa-dupa! In a world where you can spend more on a round of drinks these hotels are honest, basic, clean enough, 24 hour check in and staffed with cheerful and helpful staff.

The hotel staff were ok. The room looked very tired however it was better than sleeping outside. The sink didn't smell like raw sewage unlike the one at Abbeville. The breakfast buffet was pretty much standard for the F1 group. Bit of a walk to get to some eateries, having to cut through another hotel complex Bicycle friendly

If you have room take a fan with you these hotels have no air con' just a window . If you are on the ground floor you may not be comfortable with that wide open. The flurecent light throws out more heat so you sit in the dark to keep cool. They do get very hot inside. One couple were laid on the bed with door and window open in their undies!!. I don't know what make they wore I didn't stop to look.. The building is a mess. Our door was loose and needed to be rammed to open it. A passing French chap saw us struggling to get in having entered the code. He stopped took over and rammed the door open. Electric power point hanging out of the walls along the hall ways paint tatty,the odd sections of carpet they have were stained. Its verging on being a dump. If you book on lowest price deal double check dates before you press the button to confirm. I booked our return dates at the same time and put the out going date by mistake. Thus had two rooms. No way would they change the date or refund a cent. This was a few minuets after I booked. My fault. Has the normal branded places to eat near by. Breakfast is bread and jam/preserves, cornflakes etc, coffee and oj. Not suitable in any way for disabled customers.
