Ловушки от недобросовестного туроператора Traps from an unscrupulous tour operator

An unremarkable three-star hotel in the center of Paris (on the border of the 1st and 2nd districts). The main and at the same time the only advantage: to the Opera Garnier, Louvre, Place Vendô me 5-7 minutes walking distance. However, the impression of the hotel is pretty spoiled by the dishonesty of the tour operator ("Arteks", Kyiv), who hung noodles on the ears of gullible tourists and travel agency managers about the non-existent merits of the hotel. Attention - trap number 1! There are no "triples" promised by the tour operator in the hotel. This is confirmed by personal experience of accommodation and data from the site of the hotel itself. "Triples" with three full beds exist in this hotel only in the imagination of the managers of "Artex". In fact, the hotel has rather large "improved doubles" for the center of Paris (of course, more expensive than standard rooms) with an additional extremely uncomfortable sofa, on which the teenager does not fit in length (see photo on the hotel's website - everything is more or less honest there , although somewhat embellished by the skill of the photographer). In order to somehow put my son to bed, I had to put two suitcases to the sofa and report pillows. And again, attention - trap number 2! Breakfast at the hotel is not a full "buffet". In fact, this is a continental breakfast expanded due to a variety of canned long-term storage products, but not a "buffet" (hot dishes - scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages - no)! Trap No. 3: The "quiet" street overlooking the hotel windows is filled with the noise of trucks and motorcycles, as well as the showdown of local residents, for half the night. I will add to this the annoying household trifles that pretty much spoil the remnants of the hotel mood: the door that does not close between the room and the toilet (in our "improved" pseudo-triple! ), the periodically non-working elevator (including on the morning of departure, and our "improved" room is on the fifth floor! ) etc. And, finally, trap number 4: as "3 * sup" or "3 * +" the hotel is positioned only by unscrupulous tour operators (including the same "Artex"), the hotel itself honestly defines itself like a three-star without any additives. The ratio "price / quality" is strongly tilted towards the price. At the same time, for couples without children and single tourists who want to stay in the center of Paris, close to the standard tourist gathering place (Opera Garnier) and other classic Parisian attractions, the Hotel Moliere is an expensive, but not the worst option. Just do not take a child with you, especially a teenager - after a sofa in the so-called "triple" his back and neck will have to be restored by professional massage for a long time.
