Youth Hostel Luxembourg City

早餐很好， 位置很棒

Overall, my stay at the Youth Hostel in Luxembourg City was fine but definitely had its ups and downs. Getting there from the train station takes a bit of effort. It’s a bit of a hike on foot, especially with luggage, but once you’re in the general area, there is a bus that can drop you off fairly close by. The hostel itself wasn’t bad. The room was fine for a one-night stay, but the shared bathrooms could’ve been cleaner. They weren’t awful, just not as fresh as you’d hope. Breakfast, unfortunately, was underwhelming. Despite showing up shortly after it started, most of the food was already gone and what was left wasn’t anything to get excited about. That said, the highlight of the stay was definitely the people. I met some great fellow travelers and ended up spending the day exploring Luxembourg with them. The social aspect really salvaged the experience and made the stay worthwhile in the end. If you’re just staying a night or two and don’t mind the basics, it does the job but go in with realistic expectations.

The pillows are the worst I have ever experienced but the rest of the stay was great - bit hot in the rooms and could do with privacy curtain to the bottom bunk. Staff really helpful, friendly and welcoming. The Melting Pot cafeteria offers excellent simple, nourishing food. Breakfast self service very good, menus offer good value. Loation is a little tricky to find as its down at the bottom of the valley located from many different directions by winding roads so easy to get lost.

Excellent location within minutes walk distance to sights. On arrival staff was friendly and helpful. I had a good rest as the dorm was quiet and clean, lockers inside the dorm, good wifi, clean facilities, very nice outside space with restaurant and bar with good prices, I loved the food, 24/ reception. would stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for good location. No privacy curtains for the beds in the mix dorm, not all beds had plugs near the bed.

I checked in and the front desk girl told me she only had me down for two instead of the five nights I booked. She eventually found my full booking so I thought no problem. Two nights later I try to get into my room and my card won't work. I'm told by the night staff that I have to change room. Even though I paid for five nights ahead of time. Even though I'm the customer. They decide it's OK to move people around like they're funiture. Despite me pointing out that it would be smarter to let me stay in my room and put any newcomers somewhere else, the desk guy insisted on moving me. After I protest, he says, 'you can stay in the same room.' I can stay? 'you can't stay in the room.' But you just said I can stay. 'You can stay' So I don't need to move. 'no, you must move' The muppet even gets security to come escort me out of my room. Two days later a member of staff comes into my room and demands to know my full name, then he leaves. No explanation. Felt like I was living in a prison. The morning I check out I'm dealing with the same guy who told me to move room. He takes the key card from me and doesn't return the deposit. I ask for the deposit. He says I already got it. When I point out I've not, he checks the computer then turns to me and says, 'you didn't move room' What are you talking about?! You literally forced me to move room yourself! 'you did move' Of course I moved, you were there! 'you moved room?' Yes! 'you didn't move room' Can you belive this level of stupidity exists? If it wasn't for his colleague who told him to give me the deposit I'd have been stuck in this twilight zone argument forever. I have never encountered such stupidity in my entire life. They also charged €13 for a barbecue, which was one skewer of chicken meat on some cold salad pasta, along with salad, soup and rock-hard, ice-cold brownie. This place felt like living with an abusive parent who hates to see their child happy but won't admit they enjoy making them miserable, so they make sure that any enjoyment is countered by enforced, rigid rule making. I think these people only read about hospitality in a book. Also, some staff refuse to speak anything other than French to travellers who come from all over the world. I'd avoid this place. These people clearly have been trained at an army barracks.

For a weekend trip, Youth Hostel Luxembourg (YHL) makes sense. If you're a budget traveler like me, this hostel beats any regular hotel which is likely to be way overpriced considering the country it's in. It is in a quite area of the city and getting to YHL is fun when you use the elevator that descends into the lower city. This is not a party hostel by any means. It is normally very quiet and it is a bit difficult to interact with any other guests. There is not really any commons area except for the cafeteria. All that is left is a couple benches and a table at the reception. Rooms are decent, but old-fashioned and bathrooms aren't the most clean. Breakfast is served with a very generic variety. Also, the bar staff are rather unpleasant and sarcastic. I felt as though I was bothering them when I wanted to order a beer or a coffee. For a short stay, it makes sense to stay here. But given how expensive Luxembourg is (including regular hotels), you don't have much of a choice.
