Hotelf1 Mulhouse Bâle Aéroport

Good simple hotel within walking distance to airport. This was my 5th stay there.

Super close and convenient to the airport! Walking distance! Even dragging all my luggage, it took maybe 15 minutes walking. Make sure you have your booking number handy when you check in because you check yourself in with a machine.

Decent stay for the night. I expected worse but it was fine overall! It’s just a very dark entrance when you arrive late, so better arrive during the day. The receptionist was very friendly the next morning :)

I understand that this is a backpacker's hotel for an overnight stay, so I expect that the hotel will be near the highway and understand that I need to walk on the dark road for about 1km to get there, but at least, they need to let the guest enter the lobby first. I arrived at the hotel at around midnight, the receptionist was away, nobody was at the desk and the work was outsourced to somebody working remotely with the intercom at the front of the building. The hotel implemented a new checking system using a check-in machine, which will need a code in the confirmation email. However, the code was nowhere to be found wherever in the trip.com app or the confirmation email of mine. More frustratingly, the reception clerk had a very strong French accent in his English, so we couldn't understand each other clearly. In the end, a kind gentleman went down smoking and helped me communicate with them in French, solving my issue. If he wasn't there, I would probably have got locked outside for the night. This is unbelievable. This is a very unpleasant experience. I'm writing to tell other international tourists to stay away from this place, if you can't solve these issues like me.
