How Not To Go Broke When Visting Luxembourg

Where: 22 Rue De Treves, Senningerberg, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, 2633

Probably most travelers to Luxembourg--that little European nation sandwiched between Belgium, France and Germany--would prefer to stay in the city center, near the European Union action and museums. But if the inner city hotels are too pricey, or, as often happens, booked out by European Union officials, then a really reasonably-priced alternative is the Campanile Hotel Luxembourg on the outskirts of the city.

Nothing about Luxembourg is big, so the distance into the city center is negligible if you have a car. The Campanile usually offers cheap internet rates and other special deals: for example, at the moment they're running a 2 rooms for €89 ($130) deal, where four people can stay on weekends for a per person rate that sounds more like a youth hostel fee than a reasonable hotel. You can also get €45 ($65) deals for one room on Thursday, Friday or Saturday nights if you book more than 30 days ahead.

Why so cheap? Well, you can guess by the name that it's very near the airport, but we can assure you that the Luxembourg airport is not a busy one. As for the hotel itself, it doesn't get rave reviews from visitors, but not many complaints either. It is however extremely hard to find any decent photos of the place.

But at the end of the day, the Campanile is a solid value-for-money kind of proposition, with Wifi, large buffet breakfast, free parking and a restaurant open for both lunch and dinner if you don't make it into the city.

The Massage Man in Luxembourg Wants to Touch You

If you are ever visiting Luxembourg, a massage man is available to touch you all over.

A certain masseuse who goes by the name Massage Luxembourg has um...let's just say...has made us aware of his services should you ever visit this city. He's created a user account here on HotelChatter and he's filled it with this...uh..."description":

luxembourgmassage@yahoo.com. I'm a mobile massage guy in luxembourg. I give the best massage at luxembourg hotels

He's also dropped us a line giving us his telephone (661925685) and he insists that hotels in Luxembourg are overcharging for massages.

Naturally, we realize this guy is trying to get HotelChatter to advertise his services--as if! But although we aren't recommending him, we think he's rates high on the unintentional comedy scale.

Cubicle Dreamin': Testing The Beer Theory in Luxembourg

Where: 6 rue du Fort Niedergruenewald , Luxembourg, Luxembourg, 2015

Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Amanda K jaunts to Luxembourg...in her mind. Enjoy.

Since I heard the (apparently true) rumour that Luxembourg holds the record for beer drinking, I've been contemplating a holiday there to try and check this story out in person. When in Luxembourg ... it looks like the Sofitel Luxembourg will provide me with the 5-star comfort I'll need after spending a night or two testing the local beers.

Being walking distance from the city center (read: from the pub) is a key consideration, yet the Sofitel is still far enough out of downtown to be quiet on the morning after. A number of recent guests make mention of the extra-large and extra-comfortable beds, also an important factor for sleeping off my consumption of record-breaking beer. And they even do room service breakfast at no extra cost.

As far as sightseeing goes, there are a few nice things to see in Luxembourg and walking from the Sofitel into town gives a nice view of the gorgeous bridges. Seems like a good combination to me: a comfy hotel, a few beers, and a another tiny country to add to the brag list of where I've traveled.

Hilton in Luxembourg

We were visiting Luxembourg last winter and selected the Hilton in Luxembourg for its indoor pool and massage services.  I first checked the room rate on-line, and found one price, but I decided to call the hotel directly to inquire about a "family rate" or any specials they might have.  The reservationist gave me a somewhat lower rate and we told her we'd think about it. I called a few days later to book and a different reservationist gave me an even lower price and assured me that was it.  We ended up paying about 30Euros/night less than the original rate, which included a toddler bed and a baby cot.

But generous reservationists are not the only reason to go to the Hilton.

The hotel had the BEST breakfast. Many hotels in this part of Europe include a breakfast buffet with your stay, but this one was exceptional. We were overwhelmed with a variety of cold fish, meats and cheeses, several kinds of muesli and other cereals, fruits, breads, plus the "American" section that included eggs, bacon, potatoes and waffles on request.  It was by far the most extensive buffet we'd seen and everything was fresh and good. The pool was great and the staff was family friendly, too.

When visiting the Hilton in Luxembourg, note that it is up on a hill above the center of town. If you are not driving yourself, then you will need to arrange a shuttle pick up through the hotel.

There are many local attractions in Luxembourg. We enjoyed the Museum of the City of Luxembourg, and of course you can't miss the great shopping on pedestrian-only streets. Porcelain mavens will get a laugh when they see Villeroy and Boch toilets in the restrooms. For those of you who are not familiar with the famous brand of china, it's like pissing on Waterford. Want one of your own? The factory store is nearby. If you're up for a short drive, history buffs can visit the Battle of the Bulge memorial.
