hotelF1 Amiens Est (Rénové)

The noise in the rooms was constant because the doors and windows do nothing to dampen sound. You hear people walking and talking along the corridors and outside, and some guests play loud videos or simply aren’t quiet. There’s no bathroom in the rooms, and breakfast costs 5.50 euros extra. For that, you get some yogurt and bread, while coffee costs extra too. The vending machines take coins only, no cards. Concur listed this as a 3 star hotel, but it felt more like a hostel than a hotel. There’s an employee for only two hours, twice a day, and neither person speaks English. Check that your reservation is confirmed before arriving. If the code doesn’t work, you can’t get inside and may be left waiting outside in the cold until an employee shows up.

A handy place for an overnight stop. The room was clean, and the shared bathrooms and toilets in the common area were what I expected for the price. There’s gated parking with EV chargers.

We stayed one night and came away covered in bed bugs. The bites hurt so much that I couldn’t sleep for the next two nights, and even two weeks later I still have marks. The hotel hasn’t responded to my complaint. Don’t stay here.

The beds were uncomfortable, the rooms smelled like horse dung, and the locks barely worked. I found mold, dust, ants by the doors, dirty showers, and poop all over some of the bathrooms. It was completely unacceptable. I expected something at least somewhat modern from a place called F1 hotel, but it was the opposite. The breakfast was mediocre, dry, and not very good. The location makes little sense beside two hotels that are much better, and it’s hard not to wonder why this one is there. I’ve included photos of some of the disgusting things we found. I’d never stay again or recommend it. One other thing: the advertising feels wildly misleading. About half the pictures seemed computer generated, and I didn’t see those rooms at this hotel. When you look at the F1 hotel in calis, you suspiciously find the same photos. Odd, right? Misleading people like that is never okay.
