Sleepless nights spoiled the whole impression of Paris

Didn't like the hotel. The hotel is located in the Moulin Rouge area. They lived on the second floor, the windows overlooked a busy street at night. On the first floor of the hotel building there is a cabaret bar, where groups of tourists begin to arrive at 10-11 pm. As a result, people make noise, shout, music plays from 11 pm until 5 am. Couldn't sleep a single night. The windows are plastic, but apart from the windows there is no ventilation, it was very stuffy to sleep in the summer with the windows closed. We bought earplugs for 4 euros - they saved a little. It is surprising that no one calls the police, because it is forbidden to make noise at night. In the bathroom, a big disappointment awaited us - rotten black tiles lining the bathroom. The tile was a little pushed back and mold was visible under the bathroom, it smelled strongly. They put a toilet duck to kill the smell from the bathroom a little and closed the gap under the bath. Periodically, the maid opened the slot, then upon returning to the room, a strong smell appeared again. The rest of the room is clean, thin towels are changed every day. Leave a tip, after they didn’t close the door to us after cleaning - the maid didn’t take. The outlet is really one, the TV only with French channels. There is a wide range of hangers in the closet: different shapes and sizes. Fen was. Basically, you can use it. There were no problems with hot/cold water. The receptionist speaks English quite friendly, 80% of the hotel are Russian tourists. Breakfast is the same every day, served by a friendly lady. Breakfast includes 3 rolls, cereal, coffee, tea, orange juice. The transfer to the airport was late. Registration and passport control took 1.5 hours, so arrive at least 3 hours in advance to calmly go through all the controls.
