Youth Hostel Vianden

Fair
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : - Nice views of the castle (though not worth visiting it)- Some hiking options near by- Friendly and helpful staff - Quirky hair dryer - Quiet location - large bedrooms with lockers and a table with chairs (Dont forget your padlock)
  : - No kitchen facilities are available if you need to cook your meals for dietary reasons (although I was already aware of this).- On one of the days I was there, there was a very strong sewage smell like permeating the hostel. I had to sleep with the windows open to improve the air quality.- The hostel facilities are a bit old school, but I didnt find it to be an issue.A warning for backpackers:- The hostel is situated on a steep hill, approximately 10 to 15 minutes uphill walk, and buses are infrequent. Take note if you are carrying a heavy backpack.- Check-in is from 5 pm, and its highly likely that the hostel will be closed if you arrive before then. There is no shelter available for rain outside, no place to store your luggage, and no nearby restaurant or bar. Plan accordingly if you arrive early in town. My experience was during the low season when most places were closed and the town was quiet; it might be different during the high season. Check with the hostel in advance.

  : - The hostel was easy to find and well deserved by different bus lines - I had the full room for myself during my 4 nights stay - at some point I was the only one in the morning for breakfast and the canteen lady simply asked me what I wanted and bring it to me - Good heating system - decent bed - The view from the window - Good WIFI
  : - it was not possible to dinner or lunch over there (low season I guess) - I was in my room and I was able to hear loud and clear, lads in their room which was located at the far end of the corridor. So I am guessing during high season I would hear everthing from each dormitory - The shower system needs to be review: floods easly and only one out of the 2 shower were actually working correctly - The hairdryer was quite loud - No one at the reception in the morning - one of the night shift receptionist was really cold and unpleasant - Lack of fruits for breakfast - the dormotory was kind of dusty - the price
