Book it if you want a three-star room right opposite Luxembourg's central station at well below the city's median price, with trams, buses and trains at the door. Skip it if you expect extras: the listed facilities are air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk.

Hotel Empire is our Best Value choice for Luxembourg City. It is a three-star hotel facing the central train station. It suits rail travellers, business visitors and anyone who wants to reach the airport or other towns easily without paying the city's typical rates.
It is not the place for hotel facilities. The property lists air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk, and no restaurant, gym or spa appears in the data. Its guest score of 8.1 also sits in the lower half of our sample, so expect a practical stay rather than a memorable room.
Location and getting around
The address is 34, Place De La Gare, in the Gare district. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10 and say it sits directly across from the central station, a short walk from the centre. Trams, buses and trains leave from stops right outside the entrance, according to guests.
Notre-Dame Cathedral is about 1.1 km, roughly 14 minutes on foot. The Grand Ducal Palace is 1.3 km, around 16 minutes, and Fort Thüngen is 1.9 km, around 24 minutes. These are straight-line estimates and not verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.1 out of 10 from 2,698 reviews, joint eighth of the 11 hotels we compared. Guests praise the location opposite the station and the public transport outside the door.
On value, guests note the rates are affordable for the area, though some feel the cost outweighs the quality. Breakfast is listed as continental, vegetarian, gluten-free and buffet.
Price compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put Hotel Empire at €171.30 per night, 42% below the €297.00 median of the hotels we sampled. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Ibis Luxembourg Airport, was €101.15 per night, three stars and 8.2. It is cheaper and scored slightly higher, but it is at the airport, not the station. Our Luxury pick, Le Royal Hotels & Resorts Luxembourg, was €297, five stars and 9.0.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 11 eligible hotels in Luxembourg City. The Best Value pick balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price; it is not necessarily the cheapest. Hotel Empire combines a large review count, a strong location score and a price far below the median in an expensive city.
