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. The rooms are small, which is to be expected in most european cities. There was only one downfall to this hotel and this was that when we arrived it seemed they had no room available... More

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

This is by far was the worst experience I have ever had. The Hotel was terrible, They had BED BUGS, which is an indication of a very very dirty environment and very poor hygiene. I was sleeping and suddenly we found that we are covered in bugs which was horrifying. We called the reception to advise them of the problem,... More

I found a v good price and booked - I think we paid around 55 euro inc booking fee. First impression was good, v close to station if a little complicated to get to on Metro. The Hotel is tastefully (and recently) decorated compared to other budget Hotels but slightly unfriendly service. Our budget room was located through small courtyard,... More

The room wasn't SO small as some told (in England rooms are even smaller). It was good for a couple, specially the bathroom. For us, brazilians, a shower is more commom than a bath. The elevator is really small: only one person with luggage or two people. And you can really hear everything in other rooms. But breakfast is good... More
