hotelF1 Paris Saint-Ouen - Marché aux Puces

Clean room, petite room, no shop nearby, difícult transport in bus, expensive transport

Room was fine and clean. Didn’t care for making your own beds with linen provided and again when housekeeping replaced linen again.

The room was in and of itself acceptable. But there were a lot of noise from the corridor and the highway so it was hard to sleep. The bathrooms were disgusting at worse and kinda gross at best. And someone threw up in the corridor... The hotel is located in the absolute worst part of Paris. You have to walk through skid row (where there are tent camps for the homeless) to get there and it is unadvisable to be alone outside at night.

The property has everything you need for 1 night, it was clean, staff present to support with questions. The area around the property felt unsafe and dirty. Not worth the price paid, but was sufficient for the last minute booking

Area around the hotel is terrible. Migrants everywhere. Noise all night untill 6am. Toilet seats broke and just glued back together. Car park stinks of urine beds and pillow very uncomfortable it’s cheap for a reason

Staff were helpful enough, area surrounding the hotel was filthy, breakfast choices were very limited although I paid for breakfast I never actually had it as my food allergies prevented me from having any of the small selection.

I didn’t get the rooms that I paid for cause they didn’t feel I needed a room that size. The shared toilets were disgusting. They have security in the lobby but there is fighting and screaming all night which they ignore. I won’t ever book this hotel again. It’s not even a budget hotel. It’s just disgusting.

I was originally planning on solo travelling as a 20F and i’m very grateful my boyfriend decided to join me last minute. the hotel is entirely pleasant, has multiple option depending on your type of trip and budget (e.g hostel stay or bedrooms with private baths), however it is on the exact border ringroad of the cutoff for central paris. the 5 minute walk to the metro is a little scary, especially speaking as a woman, and i would not recommend going there at night alone. however, for a budget stay with a group/couple of people in your party, could be a perfect option for a budget trip.

I booked the 1 Double Bed, Private Bathroom (Cabrio) room. The space was extremely compact, with a very minimal bathroom. The bed itself was fine, nothing special. The main issue was the lack of AC. I asked at reception and was told that the vents in the room only circulate air, they are not AC. Since I visited in August, with Paris reaching 34°C during the day, the room was uncomfortably hot at night and made it difficult to sleep. Unfortunately, the hotel also doesn’t provide fans, which would have helped. Overall, it might be fine in cooler months, but I wouldn’t recommend staying here in the summer.

Did not like how shower and toilets had to be shared by all guests,half the toilets and disabled rooms were out of service Extremely dissappointed

It was ok

You could buy a can of corn from the guy with the blanket on the ground right there on the corner. You had a bed in that hot and stuffy room, but you did not have a bathroom.

Overall good. Good exercise to access nearest metro. Vibrant in the night. Safe coming back to the hotel on night bus after seeing Paris in the night.

Very very rude staff. They couldn't charge Expedia for my reservation and they forced me to pay them

As hotels go, this is probably one of the better. The staff are very friendly. Hotel is very clean. The toilets are cleaned every hour bedsheets changed towels changing the daily basis. General appearance of the hotel is good for what we paid at the end of the day if your on a budget and just want to experience Paris to get your head down I can’t fault it

Rude staff, area around the hotel is filthy. Not great, but cheap

Firstly the people working on the reception were very rude. We were supposed to check in at 2pm but she said it might take 30minutes or even more till the room was ready. She was then said she does not speak english and to speak french to her. We got a shared bathroom at first. It was disgusting and horrible. We upgraded to get our own bathroom which was okay. The breakfast was horrible. The people in the kitchen were rude every time. During the night we asked them for some hot water to drink, they said they can't provide anything and they don't even have cups but to go next door to ask for cups. When it was time for check out at 12pm, at 10am itself they started pushing us out of the room. It was just a horrible experience overall. They were not.

Bed was comfortable, desirable neighbourhood, bad car park, stank of urine and piles of poo in parking bays

J'ai du annulé ma réservation et il ne mon jamais remboursé.

Absolutely disgraceful. We managed a single night before booking another hotel. Do not say here

The hotel itself is ok. The room was clean and as advertised. But is was small. No where to hang clothes and not even a full length mirror. For the money it was ok. However. The location was like the immigrant camp in Calais. I did not feel safe in the location. There were slums and homeless all around. The whole street was full of tents and homeless. The walk to the nearest tube was not advisable solo and very sketchy. Late at night a cab to the door is the only safe way.

Close to attractions , nice staff

Not recommended! I booked a large room (actually called an accessible one) but the room given was extremely small. I could barely find a place for my cabin luggage. Within the room, only toilet paper and liquid soap are provided as toiletries. The hotel is located in a poor neighborhood. On the way to the hotel from the metro station or the city center, there were people living on the street/in cars, and selling their stuff on the street. I was afraid to walk back to the hotel in the evening. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for solo traveling females due to its neighborhood. And it's not value for money as you don't get what you pay for.

Het is ongeveer 10 minuten lopen vanaf het openbaar vervoer, maar de omgeving voelt wat sketchy aan, met veel zwervers rondom het hotel. De kamer zelf is best klein, maar voor één nacht prima te doen verwacht absoluut geen luxe. Ik was blij dat ik hier maar één nacht verbleef. De bedden zijn redelijk, maar aan de harde kant, en de kussens zijn erg dun, waardoor je het harde bed goed voelt. De gedeelde douches zijn op zich prima, al was het wel vies dat sommige gasten hun haren achterlieten. Houd er ook rekening mee dat er een camera in die ruimte hangt. Persoonlijk zou ik hier niet snel terugkomen, maar voor een enkele overnachting is het net acceptabel.

I stayed in the sidecar room which is two twin beds, a sink and a small desk alongside a small wall-mounted television. Bathroom down the hall. It was quiet and pleasant enough for a budget stay in Paris.

The hotel room was very small, I'm 6'3 and my partner is 5'1 and we both had a very hard time to stay here, it may be because we stayed in the tandem style room that's meant for 2 people, but even if I stayed here myself, this room was not enough for me alone. The staff was very kind thankfully, and realistically is the only benefit to the property, as it's the only reason they don't get a 1 star for my review. The area around the hotel was not the greatest and felt like it was difficult to travel alone there at night, even if you're in a group, but especially if you're alone. If you're coming here, it's because it's friendly for your budget, you need a list minute room, or you just don't know about it. Lastly, there is NO AC. That's a huge factor into staying in a place that's quite hot, and if you're coming from a place where you're used to AC, this place is nowhere near sufficient to keep you cool. I would not stay here again, not due to the staff at all, but just everything else about it as a hotel.

Little far way transportation. Not very clean . No attach bath room . No AC so summer time will very hot . Free breakfast is ok .

The staff member i dealt with on arrival was lovely and very helpful. The room was cramped and very hot. The window could only open a crack because the blind only opened halfway. The noise from the road was really loud, this reduced with the window closed but then the heat was horrific. The bathroom was tiny, only just space to stand between the sink and toilet. No handsoap. We were booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1. When letting them know we wouldn't be staying the 2nd night, the staff member just said ok, didn't ask the room number, if everything was ok nothing.

The hostel is nice, the room has enough space for the 2 of us and it was cleaned everyday. The shared bathroom has multiple cubicles and clean. The problem is the area, we didn’t feel safe going to the hostel especially at night. Also we tried borrowing the flat iron on the duration of our stay (3 nights) but failed.

Security guard allowed one female who tried to scam tourist by selling a Persian rug for 1.000 euro. You have to leave your passport if you want to borrow a small electric fan. The walk to the hotel is very scary come see it yourself.

Unprofessional staff who can barge into your room, which happened to me a couple of times. Some of the rooms don’t have a bathroom/shower. You’ll have to use the shared showers and there’s a security camera in the shared bathroom/shower which was very odd.

Good service, but area around is terrible

The hotel has small rooms and unfriendly staff. A security camera in the shared bathroom/shower area is unusual and unsettling, especially compared to U.S. standards. Front desk staff only communicate in French and are unaccommodating to other languages. I recommend avoiding this hotel and paying more for a better one with superior service.

Shared bathrooms were often dirty, showers had mold and algae on the floors. We asked for an extra pillow, said “only two for each room”. Area around hotel is

Very good

We had no washroom and shower in our room and we had no information about it when we booked this room. We couldn’t open windows because of mosquitos and noise on the street.

Good

Everything was fine. Friendly staff. Minutes by public transport to the centre. Just a little noisy

The room was clean, wallpaper was special, the staff was welcoming. The location is situated in a not very pleasant location, a bit noisy and surrounded with people that sleep in the car. However, the windows are stopping most of the noise. Another thing easy to be done to make the staying more comfortable is to put in the room a kettle and a hair dryer.

Its ok

Even tho the room didn’t look like what I viewed on the app, it was okay. Just manage your expectations and understand that it’s a small room and equally small bathroom. I had a private bathroom because I couldn’t imagine sharing a bathroom with bunch of strangers. Anyway, it’s not a bad place to stay for a few nights.

Before you book, check if your room has a private or shared bathroom. We booked in this hotel (more like a hostel) and were disappointed not only in our reservation but the area where is located. Do your research before you book otherwise you'll be disappointed in your stay.

Ok for what it is cheap no bathroom in the room just a sink but if you have gone camping or glamping the separate toilet and shower should not he a problem surrounding area is a little rough but if you are used to city living n

While the property is economical and probably good for backpackers if travelling with a family I would suggest looking at individual preferences. Other than that the property is relatively good and a decent breakfast menu as well.

My stay was good.

Overall the hotel is a bang for your buck. It’s good for a one night, two night max stay due to the lack of closets or anywhere to put your clothes. The room is very small in general, but it is very affordable and convenient. The area around is very shady with multiple homeless people sleeping in their cars a few feet away from the hotel and people sleeping in tents under the bridge a bit further down. The hotel is roughly a 20 minute Uber or Taxi ride from the Eiffel Tower and the city center. I’d probably stay there again.

Very quiet and clean room hot showers and friendly staff

Check in took ten minutes to find someone at the Front Desk at 8 PM…. Good breakfast!

Everything was gold

Property is good, but walldrop for clothes should be provided.

Merci

Cheap overnight stay as expected. Very basic hotel in rundown area. Room like jail cell with basic bed, hard mattress, washbasin in corner and wooden floor. Shower and toilet a 20yd walk as nearby unit out of order! Busy so noisy night. Did the job for half the price other more all comforts hotel.

.

bad service, bad location, bad security staff, bed not comfortable, room walls painted with different pictures and colors very crowded not match my style. very bad experience with security when checked out at noon i kept my bag in the lobby and after 2 hours to pick up them head of security started shouting to me why i left my bag and go.very very bad how he was so angry of me and started to throw my phone and hand bag outside. this is not fair he said to me next time if i do that he will throw my bag outside the hotel. of course there will be no second time at this hotel

the hotel was nice and clean and the staff as well good but the location from outside the property was not good like its dirty and smelly and also no safe

Rooms dirty. No conditions to stay i had to change the hotel 20 mint after i intended to sleep. Not recommended

Information

It was a comfortable solo stay. I wish there was a kettle at least so I can make beverages!

We booked it by name as budget hotel but the room didn't even have bedsheets on mattresses and there was no private bathroom and we left the hotel within 30 minutes and didn't even ask for refund

Do not book here. Very unsafe area. Communal bathrooms are unsanitary and bedding/ pillows are uncomfortable. Staff is unfriendly.

The staff were wonderful, but the place was small, the bathrooms and showers were common area, and the location and area were questionable

This was a decent location for a reasonable price. It is close enough to get to all of the main attractions. Hostel type environment with shared toilets and showers.

Avoid at all costs. Homeless, aggressive people living outside the hotel who spat at me when passing. Armed police in reception on check in. Room stunk of smoke which carried through the entire corridor. The window restrictor was broken meaning the window swung wide open. The communal toilet was disgusting and dirty, with black mould in the shower cubicle. Could not stay in dirty unsafe conditions and had to find accommodation elsewhere. Hotel refusing a refund even though we did not stay

The room was super tiny. There was literally maybe 10-12 inches of space between the walls and bed on all sides. In the bathroom if you sat on the toilet and leaned forward you could put your head on the sink. They offer breakfast for a surcharge, but when my husband tried to go in the eating area to see what they had so we could decide if we wanted to eat there or go out, the lady in charge of the room chased him out and wouldn’t let him look without paying. Needless to say we ate elsewhere. Other than her, the staff were nice. Cleanliness wasn’t the best, but I didn’t realize it until I used a white towel to dry off the floor after a shower and it came up dark grayish brown and filthy. The area it was in wasn’t good either, I wouldn’t suggest walking around at night by yourself.

really small space for bathroom and bed

It’s goog

To small bedrooms

Absolutely disgusting, around the hotel is awful ! I left on the first night and weren’t offered a refund for the next two, You have to pay for towels, and if the sign on the door says don’t come in they still enter without knocking. Awful hotel , drunken people everywhere

worst stay ever.....common bathrooms suck and are dirtier than public toilets.

What you pay it's what you get. Community bathrooms, it was ok. I didn't feel safe around the hotel. Very noisy. People talking loud during the night.

Stayed a whole day without running water. Had to stay away to use bathroom, no shower the whole day. I need a refund for Monday 10/28

I was very disappointed as the water supply to the room was cut off and there was no water to shower nor flash the toilet. Very very disappointed.

Average

the showers were all the way down the hall and they only give you a very small towel. you also have to make your own bed and there is only a usb outlet above the bed to charge your phone. about two minutes away there is a huge homeless camp and the public transport is nowhere near.

The room was very good,clean and tidy, the receptuonit very helpful. I did not like the fct there was not a fridge for the clients and also because there were no bins in the toilets, were clogging dauly.the

Just a very terrible poor people hotel

I liked how it was close to the flea market

We stayed for one night as a stopover. The rooms were clean and well thought out for guests. USB sockets by every bed was a great idea, especially as we were travelling from the U.K. and didn’t have to worry about adaptors. The communal bathrooms were not clean when we used them in the evening, and in the morning the shower block and WC on our floor were closed for cleaning, which was very inconvenient. We paid over twenty quid for parking which is probably about standard, but the car park wasn’t secure and the barrier broke so it caused us problems upon trying to leave in the morning. Overall a good budget hotel that would benefit from better cleaning.

Hotel is in a pretty rough area, not safe to walk alone as a woman. Bathrooms and showers are not separated by gender either. Outside of building looked like it was burned by a fire at some point.

Not really the best Hotel for family trip. My check in was not the best, I had my booking for two rooms and reception only find one (little experience) the other room was under my wife name, and they couldn't find, and when they find the room she said the room wasn't pay, even with the booking in my hand with the price, I have to call the Hotels.com to find out. after five minutes she said is ok. Room was as its own not shower, not toilette, you have to share showers and toilettes. parking was expensive, smelling and unsafe because anyone can get inside there. Better to check other options.

Overall I

Great hotel, good price

Not pleasant

Filthy, bed bug ridden HOSTLE - not a hotel, with 1 bathroom for the floor with only 1 working toilet for the entire floor! Not in your room. Area is unsafe. Homeless tried to take our bags when Uber dropped us off. Drug dealers outside our window whistling at each other all night. I was, rightfully, afraid for our lives.

Exclenge, el hotel es lindo y súper cómodo. La habitación estaba limpia y la cama es comodisimaaaaaa…. Nos atendieron siempre muy amable y estuvieron atentos a todo lo que preguntabamos

I would not stay here again, rooms not cleaned properly, all toilets full of tissue and human mess, dirty pair of underwear behind tv which didnt work. Extremely noisy and horrible smell of human urine from outside where there are dozens of homeless people

Can’t fault Hôtel it was clean and comfortable and No bed bugs at all as stated in other reviews but the area is awful, not a place you want to be at night and the day isn’t much better. We stayed one night and found somewhere closer to centre and nicer to stay. Would not ever book with Expedia again either as needed to contact them as we arrived after midnight and weren’t sure if Hôtel was open 24/7 as conflicting info on booking, tried to contact Expedia and Hôtel but Hôtel doesn’t answer phone or emails and Expedia there is no contact other than a bot that blocks you after just sending you the booking. Absolutely awful experience especially when you’re unsure your hotel is open and in such a rough area after midnight. Never again

I stayed in the 11th the night before but could not get another room so moved here; I am glad that I booked here because it gave me a completely different perspective on Paris. This is a hostel and you are, basically, booking into a mixed dorm-type situation; While my room was clean, tidy - albeit minimalist; using a co-ed shared toilet was an awful experience. It stank and was dreadful - this was even after it had been cleaned. There is a female toilet near the reception area and I would highly recommend that women use that toilet. Also, I don't think this would be a safe area for women to arrive by public transport at night. Staying here, you do get to see the real Paris. The car park is full of coaches with teenagers and school children. The venue does have vending machines and microwaves where you can buy and warm up food. There is a reason why this hotel is so cheap. Also, you could be staying on a floor with students. I had noise throughout the night; teenagers where smoking in the fire exit. You get what you pay for.

the room we were given had urine in the bed, hair on the floor, dust on top of every surface, flies pressed into the walls, and NO private bathroom (despite it being advertised that there was) . there were no english speaking staff at the hotel despite it being advertised that there was, and the woman we Did speak with was rude and refused to give us any compensation for the horrible experience. be safe and do not go to beauvais for any reason. there is nothing there. my partner and i only went because on ryanair it was advertised as “paris - beauvais” but beauvais is NOT paris. it is nowhere near paris. we did not stay more than 12 hours in this hotel or town, we had to immediately leave and rebook a new hotel that was actually In paris,

He doesn’t have a toilet at the room

First day my room got released and I lost access. Good thing I photographed my receipt, because the new person at the reception desk didn’t believe me, until I showed proof. But after that everything went fine.

Great hotel very beautiful

The hotel is a very budget feeling hotel. Most rooms do not have their own bathroom, it’s like camping or old uni accommodation. Twin rooms are in fact double beds with the hardest mattresses but softest pillows ever 😩 The booking said breakfast was included. The hotel refused to honour this as they said for the price we booked at, we should have realised it wouldn’t be free, despite it clearly saying on the booking. Not impressed.

Unfortunately on Wed 8th May at about 7pm I was victim of a pickpocket at the nearby metro station. I made my way swiftly back to the hotel. I asked the blonde female receptionist if she spoke English, she confirmed she did. I explained what had happened. She was totally disinterested and refered me to the hotel security. They spoke little English so I resolved the matter in its entirety by myself. I returned to advise her how unhelpful she had been and confirmed I would never again return.

Nice stay

The F1 is an excellent value hotel conveniently located just outside the périphérique intérieur of Paris… close enough to the centre that all but the laziest guests can walk to the Sacré Coeur. Sure the rooms are small by American standards… but not for a Paris or London hotel. And yes… for many rooms the showers and toilets are a short walk away. But they are plentiful and when I stayed (twice in two weeks) were clean. And that’s the price you pay for a hotel that offers this value and convenience. Some of the other reviews make me laugh. People who have chosen a budget hotel are reviewing it as if they paid three times the price. The service I received was friendly and efficient, but again this is Paris… adjust your expectations. As for comments that the area is dangerous, or that some of the characters are shady… these comments tell me some tourists are not travellers. Or that some guests feel more comfortable around white people. The hotel is in a bustling inner city suburb… people here work jobs that start early, and finish late, many of those workers are not white. But they are just city folks getting on with their lives. Nearby there are homeless people… but they are just people that society has failed… not muggers and rapists. When I walked back to the hotel late at night after a concert, there were old women alone, and groups of young girls walking near the hotel without a care. It’s a safe area.

There’s nothing positive to say.

It felt like a glorified youth hostel with barely enough space to walk between the bunk beds and room. The shared toilets weren't cleaned regularly and hence remained blocked. The parking whilst safe cost a fortune of 69 euros for 3 days

Love this ❤️❤️

Overall, was good. Heater kept going on and off so room was never fully warm and room is nosey if you are facing onto main road. Staff was quite rude when checking in but apart from that was fine
