There's no kitchen, so you can't prepare your own meals which means you do have to pay for dinner at the onsite cafe/restaurant. this was manageable though with the easy walk into town to get food there as well

I wouldn’t go again. No hand soap in the bathroom is nasty. Saw bugs in the room (not bed bugs, I hope). Breakfast is included, which is nice, but the only vegan thing was a fruit salad. I asked the staff about vegan options and they were a little rude and unhelpful, they didn’t even understand what vegan means (told me to have yoghurt and cheese).

Our 6 bed dorm was clean, but extremely hot due to poor ventilation and no fan/AC. To make matters worse, one of our room mates fiercely scratched himself all night - and we mean ALL night, which made us a little paranoid and worried about bed bugs. When I mentioned it to the skinny man at reception, he was completely rude, defensive, dismissive and condescending, and didn't even ask which room I was staying in. It wasn't until my boyfriend went back and spoke to him that he seemed to listen - however still never asked which bed the itchy guy was assigned to.. so not entirely sure how they were going to 'thoroughly clean' that bed. This worried us, as clearly this hostel does not take hygiene seriously and in turn, we were certainly glad to check out that day. Bathrooms were clean, however the shower temperatures would fluctuate continuously. Location was great - we really loved our surroundings. Yes, it was a little uphill hike into town, but truly a walker's paradise in every direction. Based on our overall experience, we would not return.

bedbugs and way to hot in our room, we couldn't sleep till 3 am. We had to get up at 8 am because the breakfast would be closed at 9 am. so we had a pretty short uncomfortable night. the security could only speak french and was very unfriendly. due to the bedbugs I had to decontaminate all my luggage, which is a lot of effort for a uncomfortable short night for €25,-. The hostel also had a general unpersonal feel, where you wouldn't go to meet people. It was also inconvenient that we couldn't reserve by phone but had to reserve by e-mail. The good aspects were the price relative to other Luxembourgian accommodations, the parking was free and next to the hostel, the hostel had a modern look and the location was good.

Vibe-analyse
De rivierdalsetting is de duidelijkste reden om Youth hostel Luxembourg te boeken: het ligt in een kalme groene pocket onder de stad, met het oude centrum te voet bereikbaar als je oké bent met heuvels en trappen. Bushaltes zijn dichtbij zodra je weer omhoog klimt, en gratis Luxemburgs openbaar vervoer maakt airport- en stationruns makkelijker. Binnen is dit meer praktisch basecamp dan sociale chaosmotor. Er is een ruime lounge, games, een bar, een restaurant, een zonnig terras en inbegrepen ontbijt. Het eten van Melting Pot en betaalbare diners kunnen een echte plus zijn, vooral in een dure stad. Bagageopslag na checkout kan beschikbaar zijn, en voor kluisjes heb je je eigen hangslot nodig of een borg-huur. Dorms zijn bare bones: meestal klein, met stapelbedden zonder privacygordijnen, dunne matrassen of kussens in sommige kamers, en bedlinnen dat je krijgt om zelf op te maken. Het hostel kan werken voor een goedkope Luxembourg-stopover, maar het is niet de plek om gepolijst comfort, sterke sfeer of veel hulp bij het gladstrijken van dorm-life chaos te verwachten.
