Worst experience with Thompson holidays and travel by investev

Booked my Paris holiday through travel by investec They book my accommodation via Thompson holidays that was the biggest mistake

We were booked at hotel havane for R50k for 5nights. The rooms were so small, couldn't fit us and the kids. The bathtubs were small enough to accommodate toddlers. Me and my teenage kids we couldn't use them. One of the beds were broken bedding was never changed for our duration there Raised our concerns with Justine we were told there is nothing that travel by investec and Thompson holidays can do. According to Thompson holidays this was the best hotel in the area and If we checked out we will lose the money we booked with.

I know for a fact that hotel havane was not the best in the area. Because I walked around the area to find another hotel and we found more than 5 hotels that were better than havane. I ended up booking a room in another hotel in the area do that we can get an iron and have access to a better breakfast. Had to incur additional R30k in order to make our stay in paris bearable

I will never ever use or recommend Thompson and travel by Investec to anyone

Dear Mrs Maenetja, 
 
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of your recent stay at Hotel Havane in Paris. We apologize that your stay did not meet your expectations, 
 and we appreciate your feedback regarding the size of the room, bathtub and breakfast.  

Finding a hotel in Paris that can accommodates 3/4 people in one room can be challenging, as small-sized rooms and bathrooms are quite common in Parisian hotels. 
However, it is important to note that Thompsons has booked Hotel Havane on several occasions without receiving any complaints.  The hotel is ideally located for those 
wanting to easily explore both Paris and Disneyland.  Continental breakfasts are also a common norm throughout Europe. 
 
We were pleased to be informed by the Hotel Management of Hotel Havane, that in the end you chose to stay on. 
We regret that the hotel was unable to assist you with an additional room due to high occupancy.  
 
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and value your feedback which we have also shared with Hotel Havane. 
 
Sincerely, 
Thompsons Management
