I went to Paris for a week on my own - the travel agency only processed paperwork for a visa and booked a hotel and air tickets. I chose a normal one from the proposed hotels, but on the last day before departure, they called from the travel agency and said that the hotel I had chosen did not confirm the reservation and offered me this "wonderful" Central hotel. I checked with the tour operator whether the hotel was normal, they assured me that everything was fine, I would be satisfied. Well, I fell for it. . Upon arrival, I read on the Internet that this was a favorite trick of tour operators to sell tourists a viper like this Central'a.
The first and last advantage of the Hotel Central is its proximity to the Chateau d'eau metro station.
Otsalnnoe - only in minus:
1. Black quarter. On the nearby streets, the sea of local beauty salons, hairdressers. Girls, be prepared that dark-skinned guys will obsessively offer you the services of these salons. Each salon will offer.
In their free time from attracting clients, the guys cluster on street corners, glancing at passers-by and commenting on their appearance.
In the evenings, the streets become even livelier, the white teeth of the local population glow in the darkness of the streets.
In general, for a week of living in this quarter, I did not have any problems with blacks, but who knows - if I were not a guy with broad shoulders, but a young fragile girl ...
2. Sanitary condition of the rooms.
The floors are never vacuumed - there are heaps of dust in the corners. You can enter the shower cubicle only in slippers; it is better not to look at the joints between the fences.
3. Dimensions of the room.
I had a single. I have never seen such a single in any hotel. A narrow crib across from the entrance, an old, battered desk to the right, a closet a little further afield, and a combined toilet in the left corner.
4. Service.
The TV in my room didn't work. Didn't work at all. Never. When you press the Power button, it does not even turn on.
I didn't go to Paris to watch it. I was on my way to practice my French and would be interested in listening to TV shows.
Since I speak more or less French, on the first day I went down to the reception and informed the employee that the TV was ne marche pas (not working). Then the clowning began. The worker went up to my room and for 20 minutes with an intelligent face pressed the buttons on the remote control. All my explanations that the problem is clearly not in the console did not bother him. He promised to call the telemaster for tomorrow and left.
I was not too lazy to come up with a question about my TV every day - there was always some kind of excuse. I didn't even look at the telly.
5. Elevator/stairs
There is an elevator in this wonderful hotel. You can even say that it is unique - more than two people will not fit in it. The inner door must be closed manually. Also, this elevator regularly breaks down and you have to climb to the 4th floor on foot along a very steep and very narrow staircase.
In addition, due to the very poor soundproofing at night in the room, you can clearly hear the children and adults running up the stairs. Also, because of the thin walls of the building, you can clearly hear the "active nightlife" of some neighbors at night : -D
6. Livestock. I often watched cockroaches running by. I personally killed a dozen or two of the Parisian mustachioed beasts : )
7. Nutrition. In general, the food is normal - it's hard to spoil a continental breakfast - anyone can make coffee and make tea, fresh buns from a nearby bakery and jam from a bag - what could be easier. But here is the worker who brings it all. . When I checked into the hotel, I did not admit that I was Russian, I always spoke French. So when the "waitress" served the Russian-speaking audience, she often said not very pleasant things out loud in French.
tired of describing cons.
When walking around the block, I saw many small hotels like Central'a.
I read their prices - in most cases they are the same as in Central and even lower. So for the same 90 bucks a day you can find MUCH better conditions - I'm sure. And when I go to Paris again (and I will! : -D ), I will look for a hotel myself.
