I was looking for a cheap hotel in the area of Abbeville after my husband discovered it was about £50 cheaper (at least) for us to get the ferry to France on a Friday night than early on a Saturday morning, presumably because of all the day-trippers. I'd heard of Formule1 before, and seen many of their hotels around on previous journeys through France, so decided to check them out.
Background
Formule1 hotels can be seen across France, and are also available in other European countries, including the UK, Germany and Spain among others. For those of you travelling slightly further afield, there are Formule1 hotels in Brazil, Japan, South Africa and Australia too. They're easily identifiable by the bright yellow colour scheme they all seem to use, both on the website and on the buildings themselves.
They use a consistent ...
Advantages: Cheap, on the main stretch to Barcelona centre, relaxing and functional. Disadvantages: get booked up very quickly in summer, no lift to floors.
As this is the first review for this Formule1, I'm going to make it a good one.
We have stayed there many time's and always got a good nights sleep.
These hotels offer exactly what people need, clean rooms, warm, comfy beds with TV, Basin and mirror in each room. There are half a dozen toilets and about 3 showers per floor (so not for those who don't want to skip down a corridor to the loo) and they even supply the washing soap and towels. In each shower there's a massive dryer to do the whole body!!! The corridors and rooms are all carpeted so your feet don't get cold on the way to the shower. The toilets and showers are all on an automatic cleaning cycle and several times a day the doors are automatically locked (when there's no one inside) and the rooms are blasted with water!!!

Advantages: clean tasting, thirst quenching, cheap Disadvantages: Availabilty limited, not quite the drink it was
the sort of drink your mother drinks. Metz is not the most common drink to buy. I get my supply in the Tescco Metro in Market Street in Manchester City Centre but I am not sure I have seen it anywhere else
The first thing about Metz is that it is pretty cheap. In Tesco you can get a 750 ml bottle for a cheap £1.45 or a four pack of 275 ml bottles for £3.11. Cheap alcohol is good news for me!!
Unfortunately the bottles are not as funky. Gone are the frosted bottles. It?s a clear bottle with a brighter red and black label. The drink is brewed by the Metz Company under licence from Barcadi-Martini.
It?s also weaker than most alcopops and designer drinks being only 4% alcohol.
The drink is best drunk chilled to make the most of that clean crisp taste so after having the bottle in my fridge I poured a glass. It has not got that much ...
