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

Well. my girlfriend and I (19 years old) stayed at the Istria hotel for 4 nights. when we arrived at the hotel (very early, 9 am) we were informed that the rooms are not ready, which was acceptable. we told the recepionist ( who was absolutely EGOCENTRIC) that we would come back later and that we would like to leave... more

Only stayed here for one night. Nice clean rooms and very hand for the tube which is good as Paris is a very large city. Good breakfast and a safe area. more

Upon our arrival the room was not quite ready for us at 1:00pm? (They knew that we would be arriving early) No problem we then went out for a late lunch, we asked if we could leave our luggage somewhere as we came by taxi from the Air Port; we were able to leave it in the lobby. I wrote... more

Hotel staff is the friendliest and most helpful ! The location is superb! The metro and bus is at the corner, as is one of the best bus touring companies. Great food and wine are all within walking distance! Pleasant surprise is the Museum of Contemporary Art, right around the corner. I loved this place! more

Spending 6 nights in Paris with my boyfriend we looked for a hotel, fairly cheap, but also in an area, where you could find good restaurants and shopping streets. We found that around Hotel Istria, and besides from an elevator, where it was almost impossible to get 2 people with 2 normal suitcases "stuffed" in, the hotel was OK. The... more

It's a small hotel not pretending to be anything more. Our room was basic -- small closet, mini bar, small flat-screen TV. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom small but immaculate. Wifi is €20 for 3 days, but is very spotty. The "business center" consists of a single PC in the lobby with hourly internet rates (I did not inquire, but... more

Trying to find a hotel in Paris with at least half decent reviews on a budget was no small thing - but somehow my boyfriend and I agreed on Hotel Istria. Getting to the hotel was relatively straight forward from CDG, and the fact the metro Raspail is a stones throw from the hotel was excellent. Not so excellent however,... more

Just returned from a European vacation which included a 5 night stay in Paris at Istria. I was worried about the room sizes given that my boyfriend is 6 feet and 270 pounds, however the size of the bathroom was just fine. We stayed in room 15. The breakfast was good and the hotel staff was friendly. As for the... more
