Hotel Formule 1 is an international chain of "super low budget" or " No Frills " hotels owned by the Accor Group. Rooms are sold at around €29 per night. There are in excess of 380 hotels in 12 countries worldwide. As with Etap most are located in France. THE ROOMS The rooms are very basic (as you would expect from the price) and whitewashed. The rooms contain a little desk, a TV (with cable and international channels dependent on location), a double bed or a double bed with a bunk above, and a sink. There is no toilet or shower in the room, they are communal. As with most hotels in this price range the doors and hotel entrance have coded locks cutting out the cost of the keys and replacing lost keys. FORMULE 1 IN AUSTRALIA The Formule 1 hotels in Australia are more akin to the Etap hotels found in Europe, in that the rooms have their own showers and toilets rather than communal arrangements. Another difference lies in the use of magnetic cards to allow entry rather than coded locks. Some locations offer the choice of a room with either a double bed with a bunk above; two singles with a bunk above; or a queen bed with a set of two bunks. The hotels operate in the budget end of the market, with prices ranging from approximately A$50 to A$65 per night. COMMUNAL FACILITIES All Formule 1 Hotels have a breakfast area, a reception desk which is only manned between 0630 and 0930 (0730 and 1030 on weekends and bank holidays) and then 1700 and 2100 although variations by country do occur. In the bedroom areas (which are colour coded as red, yellow, orange and purple) each coloured zone has a communal shower and toilet. EXTERNAL LINKS |
