NH Luxembourg, Luxemburg

Advantages: Lot's to do and see, great nightlife, fine dining and wine tasting.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if not careful

...Luxembourg is the capital of the Grand Duchy. It is steeped in history with a rich, troubled past, but a future that has hope and optimism. There is a true sense of culture and the people of Luxembourg are very proud to live there. It has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, but not everyone speaks English so if you get lost it is a bit of a problem finding someone to ask the directions that understands you. Luxembourg has a large mixture of different cultures more than 33% of the capital's population is of foreign origin. Luxembourg's motto is 'Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sin' which means "We want to remain what we are" this sums up the originality of Luxembourg. There are many historical and cultural sites to see in Luxembourg. I enjoyed looking at the many intriguing and beautiful places. It was fun discovering the history... Read review

Advantages: centrally located, cheap, convenient
Disadvantages: a quality 5* hotel this aint

...We had a bank holiday last week and assuming that it would be more dead than a Sunday (and believe me, a typical Sunday here is taking some getting used to after 20 years of Sundays in England) I decided to do the sensible thing and go away for a few days to a country that, erm, wasn’t having a bank holiday. I looked at a map, saw a country that lay almost directly west of here and it was decided. Off to Luxembourg to, in Muffin’s words, stare at some Luxembourgians. Despite the low prices, youth hostels just don’t appeal to me most of the time, so I took to the net to look for a hotel and about half an hour later had found one, checked availability and handed over my credit card number. *** Getting There The hotel is located smack bang in the center of the city. From the railway station, turn right... Read review

Advantages: beautiful scenery, situation, cheap petrol
Disadvantages: small

...Luxembourg is a beautiful country. Just minutes out of Luxembourg city you find yourself in the Luxembourg countryside. The rest of the country basically consists of small villages and towns. Luxembourg is small, so you may find it difficult to spend any length of time there but it is in an excellent position in that it is very close to Germany, France and Belgium, making it an ideal base for a European holiday. As for languages, most people speak French and German so you've got a choice of two languages to make a complete hash of. A good number also have a stab at English which can be very handy. Not only that, but the petrol is amazingly cheap and if you travel down near the border of Germany, you'll see queues of German cars who have nipped across the border with a boot full of petrol cans to make the most of the low...
