Hotel Perrin is a good-value hotel in the area around Luxembourg City's main station, which is where the capital becomes more affordable. Luxembourg is one of the most expensive countries in Europe for dining and accommodation, and a hotel with a fair price makes a real difference to the trip. The station area is a practical place to stay for anyone who plans to use the trains and buses for day trips to Vianden, Echternach, the Moselle valley and across the border, and it has plenty of restaurants and bakeries at kinder prices than the Upper Town. The Old Town and the Pétrusse valley are a walk or a short bus ride away, so you can still do the main sights without a car.
Location and getting around
The hotel is near the station, so rail and bus connections are close, and public transport across Luxembourg is free, which helps the budget, though you should check the current rules and timetables before you travel. The walk to the Old Town takes you across the Adolphe Bridge or through the Pétrusse valley and takes around fifteen to twenty minutes.
Some routes are hilly, so check the map and wear comfortable shoes. The district around the station is busy during the day and can be lively at night, so mention noise when you book.
The stay itself
Expect simple, comfortable and practical rooms, with differences by room category. This kind of hotel works best for travellers who spend most of the day out, and the room is a place to sleep and refresh rather than a destination. Breakfast is often optional and varies by rate, so compare it with a bakery nearby.
Families should check the room types and the sleeping arrangements, and cyclists and walkers should ask about luggage storage. If you are driving, ask about parking, which in city hotels is often limited and charged by the day.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits budget-conscious travellers, solo visitors, families and rail passengers, and it is a good choice for a short city break that mixes the Old Town with a day trip. It is less suited to a romantic escape or to those who want a large hotel with extensive facilities, so look at the other hotels in this guide if that matters.
Rates tend to be lower at weekends and in winter, when business demand falls. Dining is expensive in Luxembourg, so look out for lunch menus and bakery meals, and check opening times for the casemates and museums before you plan your days. Keep the address to hand if you arrive late in the evening, and tell the hotel in advance so the reception can plan for you.
