Hotelf1 Rouen Zénith Parc Expo

Hotel F1 Rouen confortable avec très bon accès au centre ville

Arrived late with my daughter and wife, hotel was dirty, shared toilets had no toilet paper. People slamming doors all evening. The beds will make you itch. We left the hotel to immediately go find another, the owners live in a world where they think all the above is acceptable. Avoid at all costs.

You definitely get what you pay for with this hotel. Cheap and not cheerful. Most of eateries around were closed. Most of other guests were construction type workers in vans. As result many of them hanging around outside drinking and smoking. Not a pleasant atmosphere at all. Many guests waiting in reception for staff who were never there and did not answer the emergency phone. Avoid if you can

Good basic hotel with no frills .well designed everything you need for a quick overnight stay

Some years ago I stayed in an F1 near Auxerre with friends. The room was quite big, clean & basic. And very cheap & therefore excellent value. A few days ago (driving from Scotland to Asturias) we decided to stop at Rouen & chanced a night at the F1 Sud. We will never stay at an F1 again. The room was tiny (more like a cell) & for HOURS during the night (& well after the supposed quiet time of 10pm) there was shouting, arguing, banging on doors etc. This place felt very unsafe & we couldn't wait to get out at 8am the next morning. More like a hostel for asylum seekers or a halfway house for those being reintegrated into society after a prison stretch than a "hotel". And at 55€ it's not even that cheap. AVOID!!!!

Photo of the room clearly shows a shower, which is misleading. Only communal ablutions and if you want a towel, that's another 3 Euros please. No aircon, and I couldn't leave the window open due to the noise outside. F1 hotels used to be great, but never again. I wish I could say something nice, but this was by far the worst hotel experience I've ever had. Other guests felt the same. Accor need to up their game!

We have not used an F1 hotel for some years but, for some reason, our usual choices were fully-booked. However, previous experience of the F1 Group was satisfactory - certainly for a budget hotel. What a disappointment on this occasion! Our first complaint was that there was not a single towel - hand or bath - in the room. The gentleman at Reception informed us that we could buy towels, or upgrade to a more expensive room! Having already paid almost €70 we did not wish to pay anymore. Remember, this is a hotel where toilets and showers are shared - and one has to walk along the corridor to make use of either. There had been, we were informed, a refurbishment of the premises. I don't know what was considered wrong with the previous decor, but we were not impressed by the wall facing us as we went to bed - photo below! The weather was hot and humid, but the cold-air blower in the room was not functioning! There wasn't even a plastic tumbler for rinsing out one's mouth after teeth-brushing. In our opinion, the chain should be re-named "ripofF1". We shall NOT be returning.

It is what it is. Don’t expect a 5-star establishment for budget money… I’ve stayed in numerous F1 Hotels over the years and they are functional, convenient and set at a price level that really can’t be bettered. This particular location seems to be in a reasonable part of the city, with a no. of restaurants nearby. Car parking is fine and breakfast acceptable. Like all F1’s, the room is basic but they’ve now started offering some with en-suite shower and WC which I personally welcome. The staff I dealt with were perfectly pleasant and helpful. No complaints from me!

Do yourself a favour and sleep in your car instead of this place. It was truly awful. Paper thin walls, smoking in supposedly non smoking rooms, no towels or soap in bathrooms. You are paying for a shoe box to sleep in. We left as soon as we could the next day feeling slightly dirty from having stayed there. Although to be fair it wasn’t actually dirty at all hence one star.
