Reviews of Youth Hostel Esch/Alzette

very clean and modern rooms, very friendly staff.

Everything was amazing there.

Super location next to the trainstation

Great, clean place with friendly staff.

I don’t understand how it is allowed party at the hostel after a certain time, especially during the summer when it is too hot to close the windows.

Staff was friendly

Matras was too thin

Great location (we came for a concert at the Rockhal, so it was very convenient). Dinner was pretty good (cordon bleu) and reasonably priced (also free water) and the person who served us was very nice. This was our first Luxembourg Youth Hostel experience so we didn't realise we needed to make our own beds etc but we didn't mind this at all, it's a good idea and you are given a packet with clean sheets and a pillowcase at reception. Reasonable shower.

If you don't have a valid ID card, don't forget your passport!! We read the information given (bring own towel, toiletries etc) but there was no mention of ID being needed. We live in Luxembourg so don't carry our passports all the time and we were only saved here by the fact that my husband had photos of our passports on his phone. Lux driving licence wasn't accepted. Breakfast was disappointing, poor choices of cold food and there were no warm options. not even a boiled egg... Pillows were uncomfortable.

Hotel

nothing

Staff is ok, perfect location, right next to the train station and bus stop. 4-bed rooms are really great for a hostel. Spacious locker, bring your own lock. Make your own bed style hostel, they give you fresh sheets at the reception.

Really basic breakfast (coffee is the worst in the 'bar') and unfortunately they cannot control the bed distribution in the rooms, so if someone takes yours after you made it and put your staff on it to make it obvious, they cannot and will not do anything, at least in my case they haven't done anything. Really uncomfortable experience especially after coming back to your room at night. Definitely something to be improved. If this doesn't happen, they would have gotten a higher score.

I liked a lot how the staff was friendly and very understanding. The facilities are comfortable.

Very clean, staff was very helpful, could speak several languages.

You can get towels in the reception with a 10 euro deposit. But we did not know, so it took us some time to discover it.

Right next to the train station within walking distance to shops, supermarket and park. Rooms were spacious and Bathroom setup worked well. Great breakfast. The place felt safe and was well set up.

Dinner at restaurant was mediocre in taste and in service. No soap in shower. Room was stuffy even with window opened and ear plugs are recommended because of outside noise

The room was large and bright, and the proximity to the train station (you could see it from the big window) was not a problem and the room was quiet. The whole place was super clean, the train station is next door, as is the bus station, and there are links to a lot of places. The breakfast buffet was really nice too.

Nothing.

This hostel was a pleasant surprise. Given that Lux is usually expensive compared to Germany, this youth hostel offers a fair price especially for single travellers. Next to the train station, very friendly welcome and support by the staff, female 4 bed dorm, very clean and neat, comfy bed, enough storage and hooks for stuff, toilet & shower separate. Did not hear any neighbouring rooms. Nice terraces on first and second floor. Did not try the restaurant, but the prices seemed okay. Would stay here again.

Breakfast could have a few more options (like boiled eggs, veggies, mini croissants, vegan things like hummus), especially because you cannot opt out. But it was okay

Love the location! The staff is great, and the breakfast is very good!

On hot days, they really need to provide a fan for the rooms. It was very hot one of the nights I was there - couldn’t sleep! There is no AC.
