Good value for RWC23 - but far from city centre
Friendly staff. Pleasantly surprised with room, clean, comfortable bed + space, air-conditioning, ok shower. For the price it was perfect. Only issue was the distance from town centre.

The cons (out of town centre industrial estate location, shared bathrooms, generally basic etc) were fairly priced in so this exceeded my expectations as very clean, well maintained, good water pressure and small but comfortable enough rooms)

With a bit more on offer, it could be uplifted a lot.....more on offer at breakfast & more room for everyone.
Unless you booked a room with a private bathroom, you'll be using communal loos (no sink inside!!) & wet room showers so bring a towel (they'll remind you by email) & something to not walk barefoot!
Very happy with the staff!!
Beds/room was comfortable and spacious enough but no wardrobe space, pillows were too soft/unsupportive & the AC needs to be stronger.
The area around the hotel is light industrial and a bit run down so it can get noisy from 8am on a working day.
PLUS it's a long walk or a bus ride to any significant transport hub - a City Card helps overcome this.

For the price we paid, very nice. We had room with private bathroom. Room is very small, bathroom as well. But, that’s the concept of this hotel, and that’s why the prices are less. It was clean, and the staff was very nice. 5 stars!

Can't really complain for £32 a night with breakfast. Clean basic room. Good WiFi. Basic breakfast. Bus 28 or 45 stops 5 mins away & brings you to St Pierre bridge in town. Just don't expect anything fancy. 6.5/10

The description claims this place has been refurbished but that must have been some time ago. Facilities were shabby and well worn. We upgraded to the cabrio room, with a private bathroom. The cabrio room was tiny. I’ve seen bigger bathrooms in camper vans and the aircon was barely adequate. It was also located on what looks like an industrial estate.
We stayed in many F1s and generally like them but this one is best avoided.

Just no!
This place is an aberration. It is nothing like the listing, the stench of cigarette smoke is the nicest thing about the place, let’s just say that. The staff are sub-human. It is not air conditioned. The infestation of insects is bewildering and HOW this place remains open is beyond my comprehension. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY SELF RESPECT.

I paid the full hotel fee via Expedia using PayPal. However, when I arrived at the hotel, the staff claimed that the payment was declined—even though I showed them both the receipt and the bank transaction. Despite this, they charged me again. When I asked to speak with the manager and requested their names, they called the police instead. I ended up paying twice for a trrible room. I would never recommend this place—this is fraud. Room and toilets and bathroom were very very dirty.

Dans l'ensemble, l'hôtel F1 sur Bordeaux était propre. Le petit problème que j'ai eu c'était une latte du sommier qui faisait du bruit quand je m'asseyais sur le lit. Pour tout le reste RAS.
Les douches et les WC étaient propre.

Chambre très petite. Les finitions laissent à désirer : plinthes décollées, lino de la salle de bain mal coupé. Le papier peint, trop chargé, accentue la sensation d’espace réduit.
Gros point positif : l’hôtel est très bien desservi par les transports et situé à proximité de l’Arena.
Personnel très accueillant à toutes heures
