...as are the hotel's appointments. The booking was a 'double' but a solitarity mug, N.B. only tea provided, in the room could not disguise the fact that it was, in fact, a 'single'. Good fortune, and maintenance problem, smiled upon us which required a move to another, a 'double', room. Still the same 1970s interior, but 'Parisian' adequate for 2... More

Excellent position I agree with previously review /room small but comfortable, clean, helpful staff. For overnight ok. More

We stayed in Istria in September 2011. The hotel has very good location - 5 minutes by foot from underground (Raspail Station). Luxemburg garden, Pantheon, Montparnasse cemetry and Montparnasse Tower are easily reached by foot too. There are many restaraunts (the best - near Montparnasse tower) and supermarkets near the hotel. Our room was quite big for Paris hotels -... More

The location is great - there is an underground station just around the corner and the Luxembourg garden is only 10 minutes by feet away. The rooms are very small, but it is not uncomfortable unless one stays there for a week or more. It is very clean and quiet place. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was... More

This hotel is a lovely hotel on a quiet street with easy access to the metro and is in within walking distance to almost anywhere.

Location is perfect if you're staying for little time, since it's got a Tube station AND an open-deck bus station right in front. Rooms were not very nice, though, cramped and with little privacy. More

Friendly Staff which seemed very organized. Our room was very comfortable. There was a pot in the room to make hot coffee or tea. Great location within the city. The bathroom was good. The area was quiet. It was not a great view from the window, but still provided the distinct feel of Paris. After we checked-out, they were very... More

I've stayed here twice and would say the Istria is a good choice for people who want easy access to the heart of Paris either by hopping on the Metro at Raspail station just outside or walking through the Luxembourg Gardens to the Boulevard St Michel. Situated just off the Boulevard Raspail, it's quiet at night. Yet there's a wide... More

My husband and I made no advance reservations here. We called from the metro station and they said had a room so we went right over. The price on the board was 290 Euro, but the desk clerk said he would give us a "deal" for 190 Euro. (Yes, that should have tipped us off that this hotel was not... More
