The Istria is my hotel of choice in Paris. In this quiet corner of Montparnasse, I feel like a traveler, not a tourist. It's a paradise for lovers of literature, music, and art of the 1920s and 30s. The final scene of Godard's Breathless was filmed on rue Campagne Première. Eric Satie, Louis Aragon, Elsa Triolet were just some of the residents. The Istria is newly renovated. The shower in my room was the best I've seen in Paris. Now that I've written this review, I want to take the next plane to Paris! I should explain my rating of the Literie (Bedding). I hate duvets. I sleep cold, and they are just too warm. The staff was helpful in finding a blanket for me & I slept well.

Nice place, very good location in Montparnasse, close to the underground and Gare Montparnasse to be connected to everywhere.- Rooms are to small, just for one person, but clean full of toilestries, coffe and tea.-
People at the reception helpfull

Everything was fine globally but still me came make a few remarks.
- The rooms are very small. Not even enough space to open your luggage.
- The bathroom is clean but a little bit falling apart. The ceiling was broken and the lights falling.
- Careful with the breakfast. Not enough croissants and pains au chocolat for everyone.
