Almost a week since they arrived
The tour was interesting, the hotel is quite decent for 3, without bedbugs and with a balcony, as requested.
In general, everything is as promised.
Of the shortcomings - the host - regrets the headphones, especially at first, I often had to "huddle" near the guide, especially at the beginning of the tour...
If this shortcoming is eliminated, it will be much more convenient for tourists, and it will not cause large costs.
Sincerely, Alexander

Unfortunately, I did not believe the reviews before the trip... Now I'm terribly afraid if I brought this infection home! Room - triple, came with two daughters. They only bit me - I slept on a separate bed. The number is wildly far from the official photos on the sites. In the corners - dirt, dust and hair of travelers.

Room - triple, came with two daughters.
They only bit me - I slept on a separate bed.
The number is wildly far from the official photos on the sites.
In the corners - dirt, dust and hair of travelers... ,
greasy light switches and grey, washed-out towels.
The cleaning lady got out of hand. . . The administrator was like a Chinese idol, he just nodded his head and said that they would wash and clean everything. . .
Aha!
I found the bites on myself the next day upon arrival, but, naively, I thought mosquitoes or allergies... It only came on the fourth day, when I thought that the bites looked somehow atypical and googled...
I categorically confirm that all the bad reviews about this hotel are true!!!! !

What we saw was radically different from the pictures on Booking and from the description from the words of the travel agency. Peeling walls, tiny rooms, where it was impossible for two to pass each other in the aisle, it was only necessary to jump on the bed, shabby furniture, bed in incomprehensible stains, bathrooms in a terrible state.

Friendly staff with little knowledge of Russian. Postenkie breakfast - soundly, but not varied. Wonderful location - 1 block from the metro, but the metro line itself is not convenient, you have to cross constantly. The room has air conditioning, a hairdryer, a mini-fridge, a TV with three Russian-language channels (1st ORT, 24 hours and little-known).

Good location. Russian-speaking Administration, friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Minor remarks did not spoil the overall impression. Arrived late, got up early and slept well. In general, having the appropriate resources, they were not mistaken with the choice of the hotel.

Paris is a rather expensive destination, I wanted to save money on a hotel, I didn’t feel like 2 * at all, but an economy 3 * was completely fine with my wife and I. Before the flight, we read reviews that the Moulin Rouge area is dangerous, it’s better not to go there in the evening, etc. etc. A little upset.

Paris is a rather expensive destination, I wanted to save money on a hotel, I didn’t feel like 2 * at all, but an economy 3 * was completely fine with my wife and I. Before the flight, we read reviews that the Moulin Rouge area is dangerous, it’s better not to go there in the evening, etc. etc. A little upset. On the spot, it turned out that everything was not so bad, at least we did not feel the danger on ourselves, but we saved a lot on a taxi from the cabaret, because in Paris you can go broke on a taxi. The hotel is small, aged, but everything you need is there - shower, hair dryer, breakfast room. We were given a room with two beds, we tried to solve the problem on our own, but due to the fact that we don’t even speak English, we didn’t succeed. We contacted Moscow, with the company where we signed the contract and bought tickets, Unitours, and asked for help. It turned out that there really was no room available, but on the 3rd day, when he was released, we were moved.

Not being a fan of frying at 45 degrees on the beaches of Turkey, Egypt and other countries, I decided to combine business with pleasure and spend my summer vacation in France, namely in Paris.

Not being a fan of frying at 45 degrees on the beaches of Turkey, Egypt and other countries, I decided to combine business with pleasure and spend my summer vacation in France, namely in Paris. View the city, surroundings.
For a long time I climbed on the Internet in search of a travel agency that could be entrusted with such a responsible event. Finally the choice is made: DSBW, the host is Lot & Visite.
Making a tour, choosing excursions, submitting documents, obtaining a visa, everything went without a hitch.
And so, on June 30.2010, at 9.20, we are sitting in the cabin of an Air France airline. 4 hours of flight passed unnoticed. Got the luggage quickly. Paris met us with great sunny weather, which lasted almost all 8 days of our stay. It rained a couple of times, but they quickly passed, and the sun appeared. The temperature fluctuated from 25 to 30 degrees.
At the Charles de Gaulle airport, our group was met by a representative of Lot & Visite, put into a minibus and taken to the hotels.
We chose the hotel in the 9th district - Apollo Opera 3 *.
The owner of the hotel is Russian, her name is Victoria. Met, gave the keys to the room, the safe. TV remote. We settled in room 51 with a balcony. On the fifth floor. Windows to the street. A room with two beds and a third folding bed, 12 meters. A tiny entrance hall with an open closet and a bathroom with a toilet. Air conditioner. TV. Phone. Mini bar. That's actually all. But I already knew that it would be so, so there were no problems. A nice surprise was the full bathroom. Many of the hotel rooms only had showers. The elevator in the hotel is small. Three people or two people and a suitcase. Dining room on the -1 floor. Tables 6-7. Breakfast - ham, cheese, jam, croissants, rolls, coffee, tea, milk, yogurt, juice.
In many reviews of the hotel, tourists complain that it is noisy at night. It's true, sometimes motorcyclists drive along the street at night and can wake you up. So, a room with windows facing the courtyard can be quieter.
There is a MONOPRIX supermarket on the street next to the hotel. Works until 22.00. On the ground floor - clothes and stuff, in the basement products. If you are tired of eating in a cafe, you can buy something in a supermarket.
The proximity of the hotel to the cabaret Moulin Rouge did not bother at all.
Metro three minutes walk. Blanche station.
I must say that an early arrival in Paris - at 13.10 we were already at the hotel, gave us an extra full day to get to know the city.
DSBW has three departure times - at 09.20, 16.10 and 19.30. And if those who fly at 16.10 still have time to take a walk in the evening, then those who depart at 19.30 arrive late.
Having put our things down, we decided to walk to the Opera, where in the mornings tourist groups gather for various excursions. Even at home, according to the photos on the Google map, I had already passed this route and, walking around the city, I had the feeling that I had already been here. Everything was so recognizable.
It takes 20-25 minutes to get to the Opera House from the hotel. Approximately in the middle of the way to the Opera, opposite the Ste-Trinite church, we went to have lunch at the Royal Trinite cafe. There were a lot of people, the French like to sit in cafes with beer, coffee, cola or plain water. Water in their cafe is paid, if you buy a bottle of mineral water, if you just ask for water, they bring you tap water in a decanter for free. Their tap water is drinkable.
We were seated at a table and, having learned that we had brought a menu in Russian from Russia. Many cafes and restaurants in Paris have menus in Russian. Communicated with the waiters in English. In general, there is no communication problem in Paris. If you do not speak French, then even a basic knowledge of English will not leave you hungry or lost. They will understand you, they will willingly switch to English, they will prompt you, show you on their fingers, etc. In all shops, cafes and even small shops, sellers speak English.
After lunch, we walked along the Champs Elysees, went to the tower and boarded a boat. Boat tickets are taken for 1 or 2 days. It has 8 stops and after getting off at one of them, having walked around the neighborhood, you can again sit on the same one and go further. And so the whole day. The number of landings is not limited.
The next day the program of excursions began. The set is probably standard for a tourist. Overview of the city, Montmartre, Fontainebleau, Versailles, Louvre, Loire castles, for a day in Bruges, Disneyland.
I will not describe all the excursions. It is too long. But everything went at a high level. Buses are air conditioned and very comfortable. The person responsible for sending the group on this or that excursion is Andrey. Exactly at the appointed time, he appeared at the Opera with a Lot & Visite sign, the group gathered, checked by family name, got on the bus and set off. You could also buy additional excursions from him, if this was not done right away.
The guides at Lot & Visite are all professionals. Live in Paris from 10 to 30!! ! years. Many thanks to Edgar - review, Oksana - Montmartre, Irina - Fontainebleau and Versailles, Alexander - Louvre, Philip - Bruges and the Loire Valley.
The departure was organized by Andrei himself. Exactly at 12.00 we left the hotel, got on the bus and went to the airport. Goodbye Paris.

My friend and I ended up in Paris, just at that very period of the volcanic eruption))) Celebrated it others)) We stopped at Apollo Opera 3 * The most favorable impressions, despite the troubles. I can say one thing - fly with Aeroflot planes, because we took the Air France office by storm, but we were lucky and the tickets were changed, but there were people who were unlucky, and they spent the night at the airport in the unknown.

My friend and I ended up in Paris, just at that very period of the volcanic eruption))) Celebrated it others)) We stopped at Apollo Opera 3 * The most favorable impressions, despite the troubles. I can say one thing - fly with Aeroflot planes, because we took the Air France office by storm, but we were lucky and the tickets were changed, but there were people who were unlucky, and they spent the night at the airport in the unknown. As for the hotel, like all hotels in Europe it is small, and the elevator is small and the dining room is the same, but compared to the world revolution, this is not a problem. The room has everything and there is enough space for two. The most important property of the hotel is its boss, the hostess Victoria (Russian, who has been living in France for a long time) A very sympathetic, attentive and kind woman. She helped us in everything, gave us and all Russians stuck there a 2-fold discount on accommodation, at a time when other hotels raised prices, kept up to date with events, and supported in every possible way. Huge thanks to her! In spite of everything, it’s worth visiting Paris (parvda, in case of any unforeseen circumstances, you need to have a credit card with you, a Travel SIM card on your phone (it’s much cheaper to call) and friends who, in which case, will transfer money via Western Union)) You can eat as expensive and cheap, fast food is absolutely edible (unlike ours) and you can drink water from the tap, even in the toilet (seriously). there are also many department stores - Monoprix - there are groceries and wine - no problem. You can pay by card everywhere. But tickets for the metrobus can not be bought at every metro station, so it’s better to take it right away for 10 trips, for example. The metro is not complicated, you just need to figure it out right from the beginning - when you sit down on the platform, you need to navigate along the final station, not in the direction of travel, but along the one from which the train came. You can go to the Galeries Lafayette only when there is absolutely no time to go to the shops, but you need to buy something)) Big and stupid, and still a little expensive. On the street that goes from the Opera to the Louvre, there are many, many different shops, with French branded brands - there are different choices and prices. On Sundays, no shops are open at all, except for small minimarkets. And on ordinary days, until 18-19.00, b from 10.00. In general, it’s great in Paris, everyone dresses as they please, there are a lot of people everywhere, but everyone somehow gets along and sit down (especially in cafes, where it can be crowded and crowded) They don’t smoke anywhere in the rooms, but on streets, everywhere)) At night on the streets - if it's not a cool area - it can be very noisy - but no one calls the police, it's not accepted)) And learn English citizens, naturally no one speaks Russian. (very rarely if anyone gets caught, but in English, absolutely everything, well, in French, of course)). Tax free from 175 Euros, or on the map (but it's hemorrhoids, or cash at the airport) You can get to Versailles yourself, it's not difficult Stock up on a guidebook !! ! Happy rest! It's worth it!
