"Hotel F1 was a perfect place for my stay in Paris. It is just literally outside of Paris, which means you’re away from the insane tourist crowds (and prices) of places like the Eiffel tower, Louvre, and what have you, but all those places are a quick and cheap metro ride away. The location instead is in a more “real” (if you will) part of Paris, where local life and atmosphere can be observed more authentically. You are close to wonderful neighborhoods, cuisine, and people that are off the beaten path for a stereotypical tourist visiting the city of light.
The hotel itself was perfect for what it is: a straightforward crash pad that allows you to see the city for cheap. The front desk people were SUPER kind and helpful. The room was very small and bare bones, but it was quiet, comfortable, and charmingly decorated. The bed was rather firm (maybe this is common in Europe?) but perfect for my liking. I would stay here again!"
