The thing that annoyed me about this station was the lack of power points, but I suspect that is…read moresort of the case with pretty much all railway stations the world over. Anyway, it is basically your typical railway station, at least for the regional trains that go about the area. You can even get a train from Luxembourg City to here, so that certainly worked, and it also meant that I could sit down and have a beer as well.

If you are only looking for a traditional "American motel" experience, you will not find it at the…read moreAstoria Hotel, situated in a charming, very well-maintained building that is over one hundred years old. It's situated within easy walking distance of the most important sites in Trier and the railroad and bus stations. The Astoria delivers a German hotel experience. Its rooms are small by American standards but they are meticulously clean and tastefully decorated. We spent nine nights there in May 2015 and enjoyed every one of them. Hosts Paula and Sudhir meet the highest standards of hospitality. They are solicitous for the happiness and satisfaction of their guests and went out of their way on several occasions to assist us in obtaining airplane boarding passes as well as information on the mysterious #117 bus to the Luxembourg Airport. (The #117 bus, run by Weber, leaves Nordallee--a short block away from the hotel and goes directly to the airport in Luxembourg, eliminating the hassle of the usual train to Luxembourg followed by getting a bus to the airport.) The Astoria provides a generous German buffet breakfast that includes orange juice, an assortment of fruits (fresh strawberries, kiwi, watermelon, canned peaches, mandarin oranges, plums, and pineapple), muesli and two dry cereals, an assortment of very good rolls, three lovely jams, cheese cubes, sautéed red peppers, soft-boiled eggs, and an assortment of nuts and raisins. Other cheeses and cold cuts are served at the tables. There's a coffee machine offering coffee, espresso, cappuccino, hot chocolate, and hot water for tea, all available at the touch of a finger - definitely enough to give you a very good start on the day. We enjoyed many pleasant conversations with both Paula and Sudhir at the desk and in the parlor area. Trier is a perfect place from which to explore the charming towns and the famous wines of the Mosel region and the Astoria is a lovely place to come 'home' to each day.

Absolutely did NOT like my stay here…read more The room was not nice looking, the wifi was not very good and the breakfast was a disaster. I had to wait 30 minutes for them to get some more bread..the ladies that were working that morning at the hotel's reataurant were incredibly unpleasant towards me and my friend. Although the location is good, it's 2 minutes away on foot from the center and it's not too far from the train station. There is a bus stop a couple of meters away, so the placement is convenient. That would be the only good thing about this hotel. Other than that, an overall bad experience, and would not recommend this hotel to anyone - there are plenty of great hotels in Trier but this is NOT one of them.

The two annoying things are: (1) The very high price of breakfast (clearly designed for expense-account travelers), but easy to address by just walking across the street to any number of excellent cafes and bakeries. (2) For the cost, it doesn't include gym access, even though there's a gym right next door which even shares a room with the hotel. (This is unlike many business hotels.) The former we were aware of, the latter wasn't a big deal for a short stay, and that apart the hotel was excellent: well-maintained, friendly, accommodating, and beautifully and conveniently situated (5-10 minute walk from the train station, in front of a bus terminus, and of course at the literal and figurative gate to the old town).

I inquired ahead of time about bringing my 20-lb dog and was told it would be no problem. I had to lock him up in his crate if I wanted the room cleaned, otherwise he was able to be free in my room (he's totally house trained). The restaurant served very delicious food and the dining room was waited on by Mr. Biehl himself. The beds are comfy, the shower is a nice size, the kitchen is readily equipped, the balconies have a nice view of the hills and the train station, and the location is nice and quiet. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Biehl's! UPDATE: I recently stayed again and had to share more information. As with last time, the Biehl's allowed me to bring my dog with me. However, this time I had to leave the hotel much earlier in the day (5:40 am) and my dog ended up barking way too much and disturbing other guests (I was terribly embarrassed). The Biehl's were incredibly kind in offering to help me problem-solve the situation, as I was about ready to simply drive the 1.5 hours one way to take the dog back home. The hotel has a small, separate building that has been unused this season, and they offered to let my dog stay in there while I'm away during the day - it was safe for the dog, calm and quiet for the other guests, and a HUGE relief for me! I cannot express my gratitude adequately enough! I would recommend this hotel to absolutely anyone, as I have had only positive experiences here. Many thanks to Dirk and Nicole!!!

Funny how we ended up in rural Nittel, Germany. We were in Luxembourg for a convention and knew we…read morehad 3 days to spare to tour the nearby towns. We thought that it would be off-season and procrastinated until a few days prior to our arrival. The prices for hotels in Luxembourg had ridiculously skyrocketed thus we expanded our search. What a blessing in disguise. We found this charming B&B and winery in Nittel, Germany which is about a 1 hour bus ride or 30 minute drive from Luxembourg. We took the bus and the bus stop was a close walking distance to the hotel. We had a wonderful stay at this facility. This location was perfect being very convenient to either public bus from Luxembourg or the regional German train. This is more like a "Bread & Breakfast" type of location. It is not a true hotel thus can understand why they call it a "guest house." The owners live right next door to the facility. Birgit, our host, was wonderful and very hospitable, and treated us like true guests to her home. We enjoyed our morning breakfasts comprised of cold cuts, yogurt, fruit, coffee/tea, cereal, hard boiled eggs, etc. This would be a great location for wine tasters, or even those Luxembourg tourists who have a few days to spare and enjoy a really laid back experience. I suggest that they should have a contact number posted in the guest room for any problems that may arise in the room. We were initially given the wrong code for Wifi thus the first night we were almost in a panic since we also did not have data service for our phones. There was no information in the room on how to contact them, and it was already 2130 hrs. We did not want to bother them or wake them up. Anyway, we called the phone number in one of their brochures and fortunately someone answered and gave us the correct code. After a few days, we realized that walking next door and pressing the doorbell was just fine with them.
