La Pipistrelle B&B Hotel

When I researched hotels in Luxembourg City for our family trip, this tiny gem of a B&B came up with high ratings and now having stayed 5 nights, I can report that it exceeded even our highest expectations. Of course, our experience was enhanced by booking all four hotel rooms so we had the hotel and staff to ourselves while visiting the city. The owners, Francoise & David, are a wonderful couple who created this beautiful property 10 years ago in a perfect Grund location (near the elevator to old town) with a cliffside as an amazing interior wall. Breakfast is worth including in a stay and the staff does everything they can to make the B&B an enjoyable experience. |Note: there is no elevator and each room has a separate floor so the last room is 4 stories up with a winding staircase.

A gem within a gem! Our family had a wonderful time visiting Luxembourg for the first time and it was amazing, in part due to the amazing accommodation at La Pipistrelle! Our host was lovely and gave us all the great tips upon arriving. The B&B is connected to the side of the rock which makes the rooms fascinating. It is conveniently located right by the elevator that takes you up towards the City Square. I highly recommend. ||Pro tip: spend the extra money on breakfast. It is fantastic.

Amazing location in Grund neighborhood. Easy check in, great rooms and service. The internal stone wall, weathered stairwell, and nice breakfast ($) were all wonderful perks. There is a free elevator right nearby to take you to top of plateau if you don’t want to or aren’t able to walk up the hill.

Perfect location on edge of old town. Walk up the road into center is 5 min. Hotel is a very nice building rebuilt to modern standard. Service was perfect to have a code access on late arrival. Sadly I had no time for breakfast, next time! Rooms are large and quite clean, though bathroom could use some mold deapclean need. Minor point was that someone smoked downstairs outside and it came into my room, so had to close window in evening, but ventilation worked well.

A very comfortable and quirky hotel that is excellently situated for culture and nightlife. The narrow spiral staircase to the rooms has a wall that once formed part of the fortress. The room had a coffee-maker and kettle, plus free wi-fi and a TV.||The staff were extremely friendly and were very happy to help with our queries and to give local information. The area itself was relatively quiet and suited us perfectly. There is a lift to the main street nearby, and a bus shelter just across the road.

I recently booked a stay at this hotel, drawn to its charm and unique stone walls. However, upon arrival, I discovered a serious issue: extensive mold growth on the walls. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they acknowledged that “the walls are alive” and “there’s nothing we can do about it” due to the natural stone. I explained that I am sensitive to black mold and requested a refund and that we would stay someplace else. They offered to move me to a room without exposed stone walls. However, given the small size of the hotel (only four rooms total), and I could smell the mold immediately upon entering the building, I felt unsafe staying there and chose to leave. Unfortunately, the hotel refused to issue any kind of refund, leaving me not only without accommodations but also out of pocket for a room I couldn’t safely use. I reached out twice since the date we were supposed to stay there (early/mid December 2024) and they have not responded to me. Mold is a serious health issue, especially for vulnerable guests, and I would urge the hotel to address this problem immediately. Until then, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone who values their health and safety.

Very nice building Unesco protected! The rooms can be cleaner. The bed should have been double, but they were 2 single beds connected. The location was very nice, however next time I would choose at the upper part of the town. I did check in and check out by myself, which was a bit awkward. Parking is difficult in this area because it's crowded at the weekend. This hotel doesn't have elevator, so you hear the sound of people going up and down. The room was very spacious. They do not have any amenities at the room (and they explain that because of environmental protection 🙄). One of the 4 windows doesn't have curtains, so light was coming in the morning. They have left a homemade apple pie for us, which was very kind (and delicious).

Very nice B&B in the old town close to attractions and restaurants. The elevator to go to the upper town is right around the corner.
