Youth Hostel Vianden

Superb location, right at the foot of the Vianden Castle. I stayed in a private room with my son. It was spacious enough and had clean sheets. The room was equipped with a sink, table, chairs, and a closet with hangers. Breakfast was ok, but had no fresh produce: milk cereal, cheese, ham, bread, coffee, tea. An addition of fresh vegetable and a piece of fruit would be nice. The common room is spacious, but it is locked for the good part of the day and there is no one at the reception then, either. That's how they operate and it's just good to be aware of that. Overall quiet, with a sitting area in front of the hostel.

Very cool and quiet place to stay. The staff is friendly and the comfort of shared rooms is fine. Situated close do the castle in the charming place out of time and rush. Perfect to make some walks in the forest near the river and to recharge your batteries. I recommend this place and I'll be visiting it again with pleasure.

The atmosphere is not great. It doesn't feel comfy and the rooms could be better equipped.

I stayed here with friends for 2 nights in a 12 person dorm. The hotel is located on a nice location (2 minutes walking distance to the castle and 5 minutes to the center). Except for the castle, Vianden hasn't have a lot to offer. Our room was clean but my matras was terribly hard, I barely slept. Also there were too few electricity sockets in the room. The room had enough lockers though and the bath room facilities were good and clean. Breakfast was simple (bread, cheese, ham, honey, nutella and some cereals) but good. The staff was very friendly and helpfull! We paid €45 per person for two weekend nights which is a fair price. It would have been a great hostel if the bed wasn't so uncomfortable.

I couldn't have been happier with my stay at this hostel. It is situated in a charming scenic village right beside a beautiful castle. If you arrive by bus just keep walking up the hill like you are going to the castle. It's right next door. The hostel itself was clean, well kept, affordable, and well run. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was tasty and filling. A typical European offering of sliced meats, cheese, bread, jelly, yogurt, cereal, fruit juice, tea and coffee. Be sure to tour the castle, it is worth the small entry fee. Also hike the city wall and the path to the left of the castle which leads downhill to the church and dam. There are quite a few charming shops and restaurants in the village. There is a very small grocery on the street leading up to the hostel. I absolutely would stay here again.

I arrived there at night and found out that I put my booking in a wrong day. However the staff was really helpful and immediately change the booking date so there was no problem. The hostel room was spacious, and I was alone in a 8-bed room! The view from my room window was splendid. The hostel has perfect distance to the castle entrance, less than 5 minutes walk. The breakfast was also good.

I stayed for 1 night and managed to have the entire 8 bed room to myself! The man at the front desk was exceptionally kind and helpful, offered a map of the city and answered all my questions. It was quite an uphill trek to get to the hostel but once you got there it's only a short 5 minute walk to get to castle Vianden. Check out before 10 and complimentary breakfast served until 9. I could not recommend this place highly enough it truly exceeded my expectations.

The location is the main plus for this hostel. It's very close to the castle and from our room we had even a view of the castle which was really cool.. The cons are that the hostel seems to feel really old, needs renovation for sure. The toilet and showers are not there in every floor. The room is okayish, nothing great or bad about it. The breakfast is pretty standard one. Don't eat lunch/dinner here though, the food is cheap but not good. The owner is pretty friendly though and likes to have conversations.. Overall not a bad place to spend the night and the beautiful city makes up for most of the discomfort.
