Hotel F1 Montauban

The rooms were very clean, well heated, and had new bedding, especially considering the hotel had recently been taken over. We only stayed one night, which was probably just as well. I’d completely forgotten that in Formula 1 cars, the toilets and showers are in the hallway. They weren’t exactly super clean...

I only book these hotels for the price, and 99% of the time I end up having to sleep with my car. The parking attendant in the white Renault deserves a big shout out. Otherwise, there’s not much to praise. It’s a typical F1, even if the name is slightly different. The few pluses are the price, location, and staff who are often polite. The air is smoky, the room is dirty and has other people’s hair in it, and the bathrooms are dirty and moldy. What can you expect for that kind of money? It’s a shame that low prices mean unsanitary conditions, and that such poor service quality has become the standard.

The staff are so friendly, and the place is spotless. It may be an older hotel, but at this price it's hard to do better. There are handy vending machines, plus prepared meals if you need something in a pinch.

They’re renovating the hotel, and it’s given the place a nice refresh. The staff were welcoming and professional, and I have no complaints at all. I’d happily come back.
