hotelF1 Metz Centre Devant les Ponts Hotel

My recommendation as a low budget traveler: Do not go there! Even though it’s cheap – rooms and sanitary facilities are just horribly dirty and it’s really worth paying more for having a clean room somewhere else. Furthermore, such a bad service should not be supported at all. Here’s my story: I am used to not have much comfort and I haven’t expected a lot from this hotel due to the bad reviews. But this was too much! I arrived and checked in at the self-check-in machine. No hotel staff was there. The machine printed two receipts. I stored my luggage at the room that was indicated at one of the receipts and left to explore Metz. When I came back, I realized that on the second receipt another room number and door code was indicated. I asked the reception if I had to change the room tomorrow. She could not speak English (only a few words) and explained to me (in French) that I was in the wrong room, the room would belong to another guest. I was confused and ask, why then the machine had printed this receipt (including door code), if it was not my room. No answer... so I changed the room. (I still had the door code of the other guest's room and hoped that at least I was the only one with the door code for my room). Then I realized how dirty my room was. It’s not such a big deal for me, that the walls weren’t white anymore, but I really have a problem with horribly dirty bed sheets (bed sheets were full of tabacco, crumbs, and other dirt). I complained. The receptionist wiped away some crumps with her hand and was like: “now it’s clean”. I was like: “No it’s not. It’s still dirty everywhere. I don’t think that the bed sheets are fresh”. She was like: “There are fresh”. After a short discussion, she finally gave me new bed sheets. Still I had the feeling, that no one had cleaned the room after the last guest, and I felt disgusted and uncomfortable in this room. Then I went to the toilets: incredible dirty. Everywhere used toilet paper. Like dirty highway service station toilets. And the showers were dirty as well. I tried not to touch anything and felt disgusted. I warmed my food in the microwave (which was dirty as well of cause) and wanted to eat outside. But it was very dirty outside and there were many mice. The next day, I wanted to go exploring the city again – but the receptionist called me back. She said I had not paid yet. I told her that I had paid for both nights at the self-check-in machine. But she maintained her view and told me I either should leave my room or pay now (another guest translated this in English for me, so I was sure that this was really what she had said). I tried to explain her again (in French) that I had paid and even showed her the payments in my banking app. I phoned my bank and they confirmed the payments. After 1 hour! she suddenly said: ok, it’s ok. I was surprised and asked her if there is now no problem anymore. She was like: No. Then she even lied at me and said that she just had mistaken me and thought, I wanted to complain that I paid for one nights twice (again: she was the one who had called me back and told me I had to leave my room if I don’t pay…). At least, she said sorry.

Hotel sale. personnel antipathique. Delabre.

I had good stay during the night to have my rest and I wish you could offer fresh fruits for breakfast .Very nice receptionist and approachable one.Merci beaucoup.

I am very sorry to say but this establishment cannot be considered as a hotel. The room could have been acceptable and we wanted to stay for a night because it had been paid but the state of the facilities and the frightening area forced us to leave to another last second booking.
