Hôtel Istria by Magna Arbor (Paris, France)

If you're a tourist looking for a unique time, look no further. This hotel has a rich history with fascinating stories of past guests. It's close to some interesting landmarks and sites of the city which are not on every typical Paris list. Many charming and old-fashioned cafes are nearby, as is a popular street market.

The rooms will provide you with a quiet and comfortable sleep. The bathrooms are clean and everything is functional. It provides a great value for a Parisian stay and the rooms even have mini fridges and tea and coffee facilities. The breakfast buffet is handy and comes free with some room rates.

This hotel is also good for those looking at the larger picture. A popular metro line is nearby which will take you all over the city, to the top tourist attractions, restaurants, and shops. It's perfect for those who need easy and convenient travel as parking is also located nearby.

Think of the tiniest room you can picture and you'll be close. There is just enough space for a bed, and not much left over for walking. The rooms are not good for more than one or two people. Even the sink and shower are low to the ground.

The rooms are functional for sleeping, but aren't much in the way of pleasure. Other than a bed, there are few furnishings. There is no wardrobe and nowhere to put the luggage. Shelves will have to do and the bathroom storage is even worse.

The rooms have a slightly unpleasant odour of dank and mildew. Some rooms also smell like stale cigarette smoke.
