La propriété — Hostellerie du Grünewald
The Hostellerie du Grünewald feels like a calm, functional base for exploring Luxembourg City. A small lobby with a reception desk, a lift up to straightforward rooms, and a courtyard out back where you can sit with a beer. No fuss, no frills: it’s a solid 3-star aimed at visitors who value location and a decent night’s sleep over character or luxury.
Chroniques de Luxembourg
Luxembourg City started as a tiny fortress on a rocky promontory in the 10th century. Its strategic spot on the Alzette river meant it was repeatedly besieged and rebuilt, earning the nickname the ‘Gibraltar of the North’. Over centuries, the fortifications were expanded, then mostly demolished in the 1860s. Today the old town and its deep ravines are a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to the EU’s second largest administrative centre, and a multilingual, well-off population.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Luxembourg →Meilleurs mois
May, June and September give you warm sunny days, long light and far fewer tourists than midsummer. The city feels lively but not overrun.
Peak / Festival surge
July is the busiest month, also when the big summer festival, Schueberfouer, takes over the Glacis field with rides and food. Hotel prices climb by 20-30%, and weekends often sell out weeks ahead.
La saison des épaules
April and October are the sweet spots for cheaper rooms (often 20% less than July) and still decent weather for walking the ramparts. You’ll share the pavements mainly with locals.
Météo & Emballage
Luxembourg’s weather is famously fickle – four seasons in one day is not unusual. Pack layers you can strip off or add: a light waterproof jacket and comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable.
Briefing de la ville — Luxembourg
- The tram line has been extended to Bonnevoie – easier now to get to the hotels beyond the central station. Timetables are reliable, and tickets work for buses and trains too.
- The new BIL (Bourse de Luxembourg) building in Kirchberg is open, and the quarter’s restaurants have improved markedly. Worth a walk for lunch near the Philharmonie.
- City centre parking remains tight; if you’re driving, check if your hotel offers a garage. The new park-and-ride at Bouillon is now operational and connects via shuttle.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostellerie du Grünewald, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing the garden or rear courtyard, away from Route d'Echternach. These are quieter with better natural light and less street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (especially those near the main entrance or lift lobby) and any room facing Route d'Echternach — the road is a busy dual carriageway leading out of the city, with traffic noise from early morning until late evening.
Best views
Rooms on the rear side of the hotel overlook the garden and wooded area of the Grünewald forest — the best view at this hotel. Front-facing rooms look onto a busy arterial road and a petrol station.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (top floor) are quietest, as they are furthest from street-level noise and the lift motor (if it stops at all floors).
🔊 Noise notes
Route d'Echternach is a main road connecting Luxembourg City to the east of the country. Traffic is constant, with peaks at 8-9am and 5-7pm. Weekend nights can have occasional revellers from the neighbouring bar area.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has free on-site parking — reserve a spot at check-in as spaces are limited. 2. Bring sleep mask and earplugs if you get a front-facing room; the curtains don't fully black out streetlights.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
