Negative Reviews
negative:
The rooms are small.
The standard rooms are small at this hotel, so if you are travelling with more than one person or need extra room to maneuver, be sure to mention this when booking, as you may want to upgrade to a larger room.
negative:
There’s no restaurant here.
Libertel Austerlitz Jardines des Plantes serves Continental breakfast only, for an added charge, and there is no restaurant or bar on the premises. Luckily, there are dozens of places to dine in the neighborhood. Try Bahn Mi Viet, located close by, for Vietnamese-French fare.
negative:
Things can get noisy.
With the Gare D'Austerlitz train station just across the road from the hotel, things can get noisy. If you’re looking for a quite night’s sleep, mention this upon check-in, and ask for a room on a higher floor where the noise is less invasive.
