Welcome to Luxembourg-city

The capital of the Grand Duchy is full of contrasts: castle ruins and the Court of Justice of the European Communities, banks and art museums, internationality and traditional markets. The youth hostel is located on the edge of the UNESCO zone, below the Bock promontory.

If you’re planning a visit to Luxembourg’s capital city, affectionately known as ‘d’Stad’ by locals, with its ramparts, numerous museums, shops, squares and welcoming cafés, then our City hostel is the perfect place to stay.

Our tips
for our guests

  • Do you need a youth hostel membership card to stay in a youth hostel? If so, why? And what is a “day pass”?

    Youth hostels are a non-profit association (ASBL) that is also a member of the international youth hostel federation ‘Hostelling International’, which brings together more than 2,600 hostels in over 57 countries. It is therefore necessary to have a valid ‘Hostelling International’ card from your national youth hostel federation. People who do not have a membership card and who do not live in Luxembourg can purchase a day pass on site for €4 per person per night, which allows them to become a member for one night.

    Annual membership entitles you to a €4 discount per adult per night in Luxembourg youth hostels, as well as numerous discounts on admission fees in Luxembourg and abroad, and a discount of at least 10% on the price of a night’s stay in more than 2,600 youth hostels worldwide. What’s more, as a member, you contribute to the qualitative development of youth hostels in order to meet visitors’ expectations.

  • How do I become a member?

    A membership card can be purchased from the national youth hostel federation. Luxembourg residents can obtain this card via our online registration form or at the youth hostel of their choice.

    If your address of residence is abroad, the membership card must be ordered from the national federation or online: www.hihostels.com.

  • Can the membership card be used worldwide? Is a foreign card also valid in Luxembourg?

    Membership cards displaying the Hostelling International logo are valid at all affiliated youth hostels worldwide: www.hihostels.com.

  • Is there an age limit for staying in youth hostels?

    No, there is no age limit. Children, young people and adults of all ages who enjoy the atmosphere of youth hostels are welcome.

  • Can teenagers travel alone to the youth hostel?

    Young people aged 16 to 17 travelling alone are welcome. However, parental authorisation is required for any unaccompanied stay. Children and teenagers under the age of 16 cannot stay alone in a youth hostel, but only when accompanied by an adult. However, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the measures in force for travel abroad may vary from country to country.
