hotelF1 Mulhouse Bâle Aéroport

I have stayed here at least 8 times when flying out on 6am flights the next day. It is the cheapest and most convenient hotel near Basel airport that can be reached on foot in less than 15 minutes, carrying cabin baggage and hauling a 23kg-sized hold-bag at 3.45am in the morning in time for check-in at 4am.

Yes, the double-room is tiny and there's barely enough space to put a large 23kg sized case down, but there is actually enough room by the door next to the toilet to do physical exercise, such as one-step Shotokan Karate practice. One could even practice the Tekki Shodan kata with their back to the wall and facing the bed.

Yes, the walls are thin. No, there's no lift. Yes, the toilet and shower are tiny in the rooms that have them, but for goodness sake, it's 60 euros for two people and your own shower/toilet. Other hotels not-so-nearby are more than double the price and require a taxi fare to get to check-in so early. For food, you just bring it with you and heat it up in the microwave at reception if you want something warm. There's a vending machine with stuff in it. I usually just bring stuff from the train station enroute.

The thing is, the girl at reception has always been absolute platinum when we've stayed, even remembering me from my previous visit and picking up on conversations we'd had last time. Staff in high-class hotels have to get training on this sort of banter. She's friendly, smiley and humorous. An asset to the place.

Since my last review a few years ago, the path from the airport to the hotel has been improved and properly paved. It's no longer necessary to go over the wooden bridge and through a dodgy tunnel. Best come out on the French side of the airport on the bottom floor. Turn left and walk along the covered walkway to the multi-storey car park. Keep right around it and go straight on and you'll get to a signpost for St Louise. Follow the bike path. Cross the motorway bridge and take first right. It's about 100m after that.

If it's raining, you'll get wet between the multi-storey car park and hotel, so do check the weather-radar in advance and prepare accordingly. You'd be best off with a torch or your phone in the dark from the motorway bridge to the hotel, but I've done it without.

I've done all-nighters at the airport, but you get "characters" there and it gets cold and the seats are agony. I'll be back. Can't wait, cos it usually means the start of holidays.

We had a wonderful stay! Know what you are getting yourself in for. Rooms en suite, get towels, rooms without do not not. They sell them for €3 each.

We ordered the breakfast which was basic but adequate.
Coffee was good.

No towels in either the room for the sink (without soap or anything similar) or the seperate bathroom/the shower room. The bathroom floor was extremely sticky and didn’t seem to be cleaned for a long time.
The blanket was torn and not what you’d expect in a hotel. The walls are not soundproof at all, I heated everything that was going on on the floor, and not just right outside my door.

Unfortunately very hot (heat wave), no fan or screens on windows meant we got mosquito bites and was difficult to sleep. Enjoyed the bats hunting just outside the window- they might have helped with the mosquitoes.

Shared toilet light didn’t stay on when the door closed - needed to use phone light.

Wonderful customer service by everyone especially lovely Helin. She was amazing and so very helpful !!! Location is convenient to the airport for the flights as well as to take a bus to Basel city.

A good budget option for overnight stay but DON'T forget anything in your room!!!! A person calling herself a special name (no surnames because of security reasons!!) answers first but then not anymore UNLESS you put accor customercare in copy. You won't get it back, the text doesn't make sense and the tone directly is opposite with false axccusations when you put accor in copy. No need to phone as there is nobody to help and they cannot phone outside France and don't get back to you via e-mail. They practically steal your things and keep it. ONE Star is far too much for this.

It may not be 5* luxury but Hotel F1 is fun, clean, comfy and convenient. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had a great time and would recommend. Walking directions from airport: turn immediately left, and follow covered walkway next to the open car park, walk alongside F4 multi-story; under tunnel at end, follow pedestrian footpath to the road, take a left then turn right, over motorway bridge and first right.

There was no receptionist at this hotel and the automated machine wouldnt accept our reservation number. The call box at the side of the machine called someone who didnt know what hotel we were at and was no help.
The booking process didnt indicate an unmanned hotel and I'm sure this hotel will tey to charge me even though i couldnt get in.
Avoid this place at all costs

I read the reviews for this hotel with a degree of trepidation having already booked two rooms for myself and friends. However, whilst it is not the prettiest hotel from the outside (frankly it looks like a small prison), it is bright clean and friendly inside - and there is an argument that you get what you pay for. The hotels amenities are limited, our rooms did not have an en-suite. There is no dining room only the option of a very simple breakfast of cereals and some bread. We ate out elsewhere using the hotel purely as a place to sleep at night and for that it did exactly what it said on the tin. It is not a five star hotel, but it delivers exactly what it promises in a clean bright cheerful fashion.

Cheap hotel for Eurovision hotel. No en suite, but perfectly OK. Ignore negative reviews

The service was poor. Not even towel to take shower. The only good thing about the hotel, it is walking distance from the Airport.

Overall good for the money. Property needed a little maintenance. Doors were tempermental and in need of attention. Breakfast options were very limited. Staff was very helpful and pleasent. I would stay here again and recommend it for a budget minded traveller.

Detta var brandvarnaren. Övertapad. Översvämning på toa. Inga handukar.

Staff was super friendly. We dropped our bags off at noon but ended up checking in early for just a small fee. Walking distance from BSL airport. It is a step up from a hostel. Well worth the price for two people and for the privacy. Didn’t love the conditions of the shared bathrooms, but for the price, I would totally get a room here again.

HORRIBLE.!!!!!!

I stayed one night, I will never return or even to their affiliated hotels.! Reception very rude, toilets without toilet paper and soap, shower without towel and soap,,they kept the deposit without saying anything.!!!!!!!

They should be ashamed of themselves.!!!!

We had a very early flight so spent a night here.
We arrived at the airport the night before and had a nightmare finding the hotel. According to the website it’s a simple 20 minute walk. However it is so complicated to get there because of the main roads. In the end after 40 minutes of walking we had to get a taxi.
When we arrived it was easy to check in with the machine outside and then find our room. The room had a shared bathroom which we knew when we booked it.
The bathroom and bedroom are both nothing fancy, however do the job on a budget for a quick night stay.
A €60 deposit was taking from our account the day of our stay, however was quickly refunded after we left.
We were able to find the airport by walking along the bike path on the way back.
I wouldn’t stay here for longer than a night but it was perfect for what we needed.

Dirty, broken sheets and duvet. You need to pay extra if you want a towel. We booked it because we needed to get an early flight in the morning and it was close to Basel airport, likely we got there very late at night so we did not have to spend long time there …..

Very easy

Check out is at 12 and my flight on the same day isn’t until 9pm what do I do with a large bag for 9 hours? I was made aware by an email asking how my experience was which confused me as I had told staff I would be back at 4pm but the issue is the staff never seemed to be the same I was only there 3 days but morning staff different to evening staff I mean fair enough it does have 24 hr access with a code so if course staff changed on a daily basis I was seeing new faces every time but luckily I was able to prove I left stuff in there by telling the staff exactly what was in the bag I had the intention of coming back at 4 and thwat was made clear to the staff the previous evening I was told it wouldn’t be a problem till I found myself locked out I had passport in the bag so there isn’t a way to prove who I am without going in there and opening said bag I’m disappointed in that particular aspect
