Brief stay at the Istria. Great location - one block from Blvd. Montparnasse, twenty yards from the Raspail Métro stop. Hôtel is clean, with small rooms typical of older Paris hotels.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially when dealing with jet-lagged Americans.
My mom stayed at this hotel on a separate trip and when I found myself with a few extra days in Paris, she highly recommended this one. Great restaurants all around and prime location near the metro. Very safe and quiet and the rooms are exactly as offered. Definitely French sizing, but when in Paris, you only need a hotel room to sleep otherwise you're out exploring and having fun. Perfect spot to come back to!
I like the hotel location, but room 6 was not great. It was a room for handicapped (which is great for the Hotel to offer one), but the shower in the bathroom only had a shower curtain and the water just went all over the floor! Pretty dangerous to walk around the bathroom on a wet floor between the toilet & the sink! When I questioned the room, I was told I wanted a big bed?? All other rooms had large beds. Plus it’s on the 1st floor right by the entrance, not too much privacy!
It was a lovely hotel. They helped us with adjustments when the local airport cancelled the flight unexpectedly. They helped us and we appreciated it. The staff are friendly. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic really enjoyed it👌 . Don't know why we left it till the last day to have a breakfast. We'd have had one every day if we could turn back the clock. Excellent for Metro Raspail to get to the centre of Paris. Great location near Montparnasse 👍
Overall it was ok. The staff was nice and friendly.
But, The room is tiny with very little room to move around. The bathroom and shower were even smaller. For the price it’s way over priced. We paid because we made the reservation last minute and we didn’t have very many choices.
The TV was all in French with no ability to add Netflix or to cast anything so it left us with watching movies on our laptop.
There’s no room for your luggage in the room. We had to remodel the room to accommodate our 2 pieces.
Breakfast was 14 euros per person- it had a lot of variety so for the selection it was priced ok.
Elevator was also very tiny it would only fit us 2 and our 2 pieces or luggage and no more.
This room was more for 1 person 1 piece of luggage and a laptop —no more than that.
The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The heater worked perfectly. We really appreciated having a small refrigerator in our room. The bathroom was very small but all the fixtures worked. The heated towel rack was also appreciated.
The only negative thing is that we stayed 5 nights and not once was our room cleaned or towels changed. Not a big thing for us since everything else was great.
Crazy strong cleaning smell in the room like toxins. Wouldn’t go away even after opening window. Did not look like photos. You might be on the ground floor, a couple steps from the check in desk. There are hundreds of other hotels at the same price point that are much much nicer.
The hotel is situated in a nice location, very near metro station and close to many nice restaurants. The room was ok, but on the minus side, I think the walls are very thin; I heard very well a dog, a baby and some couple during my stay. I also consider the room to be a little too small (and as a consequence too sparsely equipped, no wardrobe, a very small desk etc., but still with a refrigerator, which is a plus) and without a really good light. I didn't try the breakfast.

The staff were not helpful and often times were rude. I had to work during my stay and the only wifi available was unsecured with no password required. I asked if there was a secure network available and no one could give me an answer - so I could not work from the hotel.
They also require that you leave your key card at the desk every time you leave the hotel. The big problem I had was the staff switched out so often that no one remembered which room I was in and I had to tell them every time. Who's to stop anyone from saying my room number?
I paid too much for what the stay was worth. If you can get a good price then this hotel will do fine for the basics.

Overall, it's kind of OK: a very basic hotel that could benefit from some simple improvements. There's very little that seems professional about it. The most annoying things were the fact that there was no shower cabin, just a curtain, making the bathroom a wetroom for no reason. After a shower, the whole floor is wet, which is awful until it dries. And apparently there is no housekeeping – or maybe you have to specifically request it, but that wasn't made clear anywhere. There's also a strange policy of leaving your keycard at the desk when leaving, which I've not encountered anywhere else in the the dozens of hotels I've stayed in. They don't require any ID to collect it – the man who handed back my keycard had never seen me before, for instance.

Cheap and clean
Room was comfortable, but the twin beds are very small.
Bathroom could do with a shower door rather than a plastic curtain. Also very small, you have to be careful not to burn yourself on the radiator whilst using the sink. We had no hot water on the first day.
Room information states mini bar - it was an empty fridge, not even a bottle of water was supplied. In room tea and coffee facilities are also very poor.
Location is good but overpriced for what it is.
Needs to be upgraded or lower the price.

Horrible smell, moldy and they take your room key
The hotel is at a good location BUT the rooms smell absolutely horrible. They use some kind of spray and really cover it everywhere (probably to mask another bad smell). We tried opening our window and door for it to go out but it’s almost impossible. Another unusual thing is that they do not allow you to keep your hotel room key. They take it from you everytime you leave which is not common for a hotel and also not necessary. When asked why they do that they could not give us a reason. Makes you feel like they go into your room without permission as well. The bathroom looks like it was renovated recently but sadly they don’t clean in super well so you could already see some mold on the walls.
The room was extremely small and not as advertised. The sink was tiny, causing water to spill when washing, and there was dust under the bed and on the bedside table.
The key policy felt unnecessary and the reasonis ridiculous, and when I asked to keep my key, the attendant asked if I was afraid they’d steal from me, extremely unprofessional.
Checkout was inconvenient. No one was at the desk, we waited 6-7 min but we had to catch a train, I've been told i will get an invoice by email but I never received anything!
