No. No. No. No. No. Electric outlet in bathroom didn't work; had to dry hair in main room with a handheld mirror. Shower is a handheld sprayer - sprayed water all over bathroom, needed to use all our towels to mop up the flood; the drain in the bathroom was coming apart and floating around our feet; ”King” sized bed is actually two twins pushed together. Our ”Suite” is a room on a very busy noisy street. Ancient hotel with small minimal cosmetic changes. No in-room temperature controls, room was hot af (but couldn't open windows - see below). No blackout curtains. Hotel did not advise us 3 blocks around hotel were to be repaved on our weekend stay. Could not use hotel parking, had to park on street 2 blocks away. Crews started work at 6am on both Saturday and Sunday morning. Stinky asphalt and huge construction trucks. We realize this is out of the hotel's purview, but no notification from the hotel. Crickets. Nowhere near city center. If you choose this hotel, INSIST on park view room, call a few days ahead to get this guarantee. Would not recommend under any and all circumstances.
During my last business trip to Luxembourg, I stayed in a classic double room in the annex to the Grand Hotel Victor Hugo. The stay was excellent, and because of the summer temperatures I particularly appreciated the air conditioning and the window shutters. The spacious and clean room had an excellent bed, a large flat screen TV, a kettle to make coffee or tea and a minibar that can be used as a small fridge. The free WiFi always worked fine and the spacious shower cabin in the bathroom was a final plus. Staff were friendly and professional and the breakfast buffet offered a good quality and variety. However, there were some minor drawbacks that prevents me from giving the top score. I found it annoying that the safe in the room did not work, which meant that I could not safely store my laptop in the evening. The hairdryer did not work either. The double bed actually consists of two joined single beds (though with an excellent mattress) and the annex is a rather soulless building. Nevertheless, if I were to visit Luxembourg again, I would be happy to stay at this hotel, although I would consider upgrading to the main building. Prices are a tad lower compared to similar chain hotels in Kirchberg. The Grand Hotel Victor Hugo is a great base for both leisure and business travellers. The free tram stops almost in front of the hotel (Theater stop) and the car can be parked cheaply on the nearby square (Glacis). The rate at Glacis is 1 euro per hour on weekdays between 8 AM and 6 PM and is free outside these hours and on weekends. The centre of Luxembourg is easily accessible on foot and two minutes’ walk away you will find two supermarkets (Cactus and Monop' both open from 7 AM to 8 PM).
GREAT hotel! I was a little bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but this place was great! Extremely friendly front desk, extremely big room, a terrace with an extremely lovely view of the valley and the city, and a very short walk in to town to see all of the stuff! It’s not a five star. You can tell that it used to be quite nice in its heyday.. we did not have the breakfast, but we did have a dinner there and it was lovely ! I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for the price considering the expensive nature of Luxembourg. Get a room on the bottom floor with a terrace.
