“Convenient for both town and country”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

person found this review helpful

As others have said, this is probably the most convenient hotel if you arrive in Luxembourg by train. This is a reasonably priced hotel in a very expensive city. My room was at the back and was average size by European standards although the bathroom was truly enormous! The back rooms face onto a central lift/stair well so there’s not a lot to see but at last it’s quiet. Restaurant food was tasty but mostly meat based though no problem if you are vegetarian as I am as the friendly chef was happy to rustle up alternatives such as a huge mushroom omelette: probably the best I’ve ever tasted. The local wine is also very palatable as one would expect with a nice red a pleasant surprise.
The centre is within about 10mins walk (but there’s lots of public transport). It’s worth aiming for the courtyard of the Luxembourg City History Museum as there is an external lift (easy to miss the entrance to this which is opposite the giant size coloured vases) which takes you down through the cliff-face to the Grund area with it’s cafes and bars. I found Luxembourg city absolutely fascinating. I’ve been to other similar places like Monaco and Andorra but the people here seem very relaxed and charming and don’t display their wealth – even given the fact that there are so many high-end shops in the centre like Cartier etc. A few words in Luxembourgish (taken from the guidebook) and the extra effort will make you very popular. Moien - hello; addi - goodbye.
I got to Luxembourg by train via London St Pancras, changing at Brussels. Your Eurostar ticket allows free travel anywhere in Belgium within 24 hours, so book to Arlon which is on the Belgium/Luxembourg border. An extra £10 takes you to Luxembourg. The journey from Brussels to Luxembourg by train takes 3 hours and there’s some very pretty river valley scenery en route.
During my stay, I travelled north from Luxembourg one afternoon to Clervaux . This takes about 1 hour through charming rolling countryside. I wanted to visit the Unesco ‘Family of Man’ exhibition in the Chateau but, after about a 20 minute walk from the station, found the exhibition is closed for renovation until 2013. So check with tourist information before you visit. It’s still worth visiting though as there is fascinating Battle of the Ardennes Museum.

“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

Arrived at train station and the hotel is directly across the plaza.Breakfast was included a rarity in Europe. We ate in the restaurant one of the 3 nights we were there. It was o.k. Desk help were informative. My only complaint was charging for use of the computer. Why on earth do hotels do this?

“Handy for the station.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for one night as part of a longer trip. It was literally over the road to the station which was extremely handy and saved money on taxi fares.The hotel was fine, we had a free glass of wine each in the bar wich was great and the breakfast was plentiful.The area itself seemed a little drab to be honest, the shops were a bit grubby (literlly, the windows were pretty filthy!!) However, if you come out of the hotel and walk left towards the AltStadt, things get better and there are some more interesting architecture, shops, restaurants fountains etc.
The rooms were fine and clean. No complaints.

Good afternoon Sir/Mrs!
I am writing you this letter , to express my disappointment concerning at the sum that I paid for your hotel. I have been living in Romania and I was checked in your hotel between 1.08-3 o8.2011.
Firstly, when I made the reservation ,on 21.07,in my account were blocked 174 euro for 2 days.Then, when I finished the mission to NAMSA, there, on 3 .08., the taller who was in service, in that morning ,asked me about credit card and I paid again ,even if I told him that the sum was paid.The taller told me that the first time was for checking not for payment.
Today 5.08,I was to bank to check something and they told me that the sum for your hotel(174 euro) was retined of 2 times,on 21.07 and again in 3 08.
I am forced to remaind you that it's something wrong here.Please, you must check your notice,if it's necesary I can send you on fax all my notice,because for 2 days I cannot pay 248 euro.
I wait your answer ,after this ,if you don;t solve me I am forced to speak with NAMSA ,because they called me there .
Your respectfully,
Gabriela Lata

“A very central base..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

This hotel is perfect for a couple who are visiting Luxembourg to explore the city and don't intend spending much time in the hotel. The room as very clean and the towels were replaced daily. It was not a very attractive room and it was smaller than it looked in the pictures from their website but we did not find this a problem as we were only using it as a place to sleep.

The breakfast was included and was served until 11 Saturday and Sunday morning. It was a typical continental breakfast. Nothing special but it did the job!

The rooms were noisy in the morning as the hotel is very central. The location makes up for the noise as it is right across from the train station and in front of the bus depot.

The bar closed early and there wasn't mush atmosphere but after our evening meals, before heading to bed, we went into the hotel next door for a drink and found it to have a great atmosphere.
