Hôtel - Restaurant " Victor Hugo"

What a wonderful visit we had at this hotel in Vianden! Great views of the castle, the Our River and the town right when you walk outside the front door. Nice service. The restaurant food is quite amazing, too! Very charming and old school. I had some trouble with the key at times--old locks--but what a lovely experience overall!

The hotel enjoys a central position in the middle of town. There is free parking in a small car park in Rue Victor Hugo about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Not an especially warm welcome on arrival, there was no one on reception when we arrived outside to get information on car parking locations and it took five minutes to find a server in the cafe. On return the receptionist who had now reappeared was working on her computer and failed to  acknowledge us for what seemed to be several minutes. We choose a junior suite which was in a separate building adjacent to the hotel that is shared with private apartments. This was a large modern room with balcony. Bed was comfortable with good shower although lacking slightly in furnishings given the size of the room. Breakfast the following morning had the usual selection of food, although the only hot option was scrambled egg and unusually nothing much in the way of pastries. It was the only hotel on our trip that charged separately for breakfast so at €12 each, we would only describe the breakfast serving as adequate.

So! A fabulous setting! Amazing, witty, friendly staff, locals and dogs! Great views, fantastically brilliant food (the cauliflower soup is amongst the best soups I have ever, ever had, including Michelin starred ones, and the traditional smoked pork and beans was utterly, utterly beautiful). They have a couple of electric car charge points too! Please, make a stop to eat and sleep here, you will not, I promise, be at all disappointed.
