This is an enjoyable hotel to stay in, with a wonderful location for the upper city of Luxembourg. After a day out, a pot of tea on the terrace or in the piano bar, with 'free' cake and chocolate coated nuts to go with it, is wonderful. Breakfast is good, the staff are friendly and efficient. Upstairs is a slight... more

This hotel is walking distance to the city square and many business sites around town. If you have a free afternoon, you can also do a walking tour around the main castles, city hall and sites of Luxembourg. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. Decent restaurant, rooms are small unless you get an upgrade but same case all over Europe.... more

Like some other reviewers we could not figure out how this hotel got it's 5 star rating. It is well located, and has extensive facilities, but it is not remotely plush, and verging on the outdated. We were fetched from the airport on the hotel mini-bus - an efficient service. The hotel is well located (but then the centre of... more

I've stayed at Le Royal twice and the Sofitel Ducal once while in Luxembourg for business. The Le Royal is a beautiful hotel - rooms are nice sized and amenities are what you expect at a 5 star hotel. On my second visit, I was upgraded and each day a large and delicious fruit basket was included which was very... more

Would only stay here if the new Sofitel Grand Ducal was too expensive or booked. This hotel is very expensive and very old. When Luxembourg City is very busy, this hotel can charge astronomical rates. When you see what you get for the rates, you are extremely disappointed. The suites are very small. The regular rooms are fine. I would... more

This is one of Luxembourg's top hotels. Rather small and manageable, and only a short walk from the city center and all the tourist attractions. Rooms are average for a 5* hotel, but clean. The piano bar was too noisy and the service was slow. Buffet breakfast was good, though not exceptional, but dinner was rather a disappointment, especially for... more

This hotel is fine. It's right in the middle of town so very convenient and it DOES have a degree of old-fashioned charm, but this is coupled with a feeling that you're in another decade. Not least because the smoking ban hasn't been fully embraced in Luxembourg (not the hotel's fault) so the lobby is very smoky, which just feels... more

I have stayed at Le Royal many times over the years, but had not done so since early 2006. Refurbushment since then has had a positive effect. The hotel is centrally-located and although it does not have spectacular views, the rear-facing rooms overlook pleasant park gardens. Public areas of the hotel are tastefully presented without being ostentatious. My superior room... more

I stayed here with my family in July 2007. We had a party of five in three traditional rooms for a total length of stay lasting 7 nights. Check-in: Four of us arrived on the first day and were met at the front of the hotel in the usual fashion. Luggage was promptly taken and we were shown to our... more
