Luxembourg, Luxembourg Hotel Rooms at the Independent

This is a 3-star hotel, which means - at least here - no elevator. The room was basically furnished, but it is superclean and the bathroom is superclean with a good hot shower. There is a nice buffet breakfast and the staff is helpful, even when there is the occasional communications breakdown. The location is not near anything touristic, but Luxembourg City is so small, it shouldn't be a problem. One nice advantage here is that they don't rip you off on laundry: they will do your laundry and charge you by the kilo (weight), not by the piece, and deliver it to you in a laundry basket, all nicely folded.

Remodeled chateu with confortable room. New bathroom. Elevetor and goodbreakfast buffet.

Clean, comfortable, quiet, within walking distance to everything. Staff was very pleasant and helpful

Great location in city center in middle of a plaza

This was a good basic hotel for a business stay. The location is excellent. No internet access in the rooms but they had free terminals on each floor and I used their free wireless access in the lobby a lot. Free espresso in the lobby was nice. My plan included breakfasts - which were great. No room service but the restaurant was very good.

Well, I had read a few reviews on this hotel before I made the booking. Reaction of other fellow travelers was lukewarm at best, so I was not at all prepared for what I was confronted with after arriving. The "room" was simply superb. The hotel is kind of non-conform, it cannot be compared with international chains in ANY respect. The service was NOT professional, that's for sure. Strassen is a sleepy hollow were you indeed cannot do anything, I do not deny it. BUT for a price that would barely buy you 100 sqft of a boring "room" in Luxembourg centre or Kirchberg, in l'Olivier you will get a three storey apartment that contains: (on the base floor) sitting room, with dining area, separate kitchenette, guest bath room, AND a huge terrace with views open in three directions including woodlands and Luxembourg centre (one view opens into the backyard of a logistics firm, which is less cool, but no real harm). Middle floor holds a comfortable bedroom with plenty of unpacking space including cupboards, drawers, clothes racks etc. (actually the first hotel ever where I was able to comfortably unpack my full complement of trousers, jackets, ties, shirts, AND hiking gear etc.). The upper floor holds a small dressing room with another clothes rack that works as an antechambre for a huge bathroom with a large tube, hair dryer and washing machine.. The total area of the apartment must have been well over 600 sq ft, maybe close to 1000 including the terrace. I will return for sure..

This was very close to downtown Luxembourg, an easy drive for sure. There's a great Italian restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. Hotel had a great breakfast - both cold and hot options available. Very nice. Safe, underground parking. Quiet, residential area. Good wifi connection.

The Hotel Staff was informative and friendly, rooms were well laid out and maid service excellent. We loved the towels being replaced in the evening when appropriate and the high quality linens. As we arrived on a weekend we paid for the breakfast buffet when we really ate very little, but did not see that "a la cart" was an option. This was our only "negative".

Excellent food and wine in the Hotel restaurant. Except beds everything was good. The Hotel is almost isolated in a valley beside a calm and winding creek, so that I could be relaxed.

Primarily a business hotel. Pricey but it's Luxembourg.
