Aux Tanneries de Wiltz

After arriving at Wiltz station in late afternoon I walked to Aux Tanneries de Wiltz as it was the nearest hotel to the station and booked a 'Confort Plus' room for one night. The room was spacious and the dinner good so I ended up staying for four nights. This is a traditional hotel where some of the rooms are a bit tired but all are good value and the staff are good. Denise, the receptionist, went the extra mile to make me welcome.

Beautiful location. Convenient parking. The sauna and pool can be reserved for privacy, a nice option after a long day of driving.

Friendly staff, we booked a nice room although a bit outdated it really has its charm. We only stayed 1 night and didnt use any of the facilities other than breakfast, which was ok

Large Room, comfy bed. Small shower cubicle, but plenty hot water and shower gel etc. Enough wardrobe/drawer space in the more rustic style (door had a key-key!). Had a safe and a small fridge. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was OK enough, continental only, but lots of choice and fresh fruit. Location was good, there are bars/restaurants near by and there was plenty of parking. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was good, although horrified that the €28 bottle of red was only 500ml and the bottled water was €6.80.

I find it astonishing that hotels like this still exist. The place is a proper dump; dark and gloomy, outdated decor, my bedroom feels like it was last updated in the eighties. Despite the hoover which sat, abandoned in the corridor throughout my stay, I was amazed to see this filthy light fitting at head level, just above the bed. Despite being on my own I’ve been given a two bedroom suite which hilariously doesn’t have a shower, just a bath, which has taps at one end and a large protruding drain at the other so it’s impossible to sit in it comfortably. How much did I have to fork out for this place!??? €180 for the night, absolutely insane.

I had booked a 2 night stay in the hotel and cancelled immediately after having been shown the room. I had to pay for 1 night so we stayed one of the nights booked (if it had been cheaper I would have left straight away….) The room was large as was the bathroom but very basic and very dark and gloomy. No attention to detail, really cheap decor, curtain too short for window, small TV on an office desk, it one attempt at making the room feel cosy or confortable. The room was suppose to have a river view but you can only see trees and car parks from the single small window (there was a small river beyond the car park so guess you can say it did have a “river view…”). The curtains were too short, bathroom completely covered in white tiles with plumbing showing under the sinks, cheap plastic cups and a very old wall mounted hairdryer. The fire alarm was missing. The entrance to the room was from the back of the hotel and it was noisy outside until late. It was a shocking place and such a disappointment to what I expected for the price they charge. I’ve stayed in youth hostels nicer than this! Reading the reviews, the other guests must have stayed in a different hotel or maybe this room (17) was an exception and all others are nicer. I would definitely not stay again or recommend it to anyone.

With the low price range we expected a mediocre experience, which was fine as we were just passing through coming back from holidays. We found a charming hotel at the riverside of Wiltz. Outdated but clean. Everything was perfectly in order and the swimming pool was an added bonus for the children. We would definitely recommend the restaurant for dinner. Breakfast was simple but good, and what I would expect for the price range of the hotel. I was somewhat disappointed with the staff: they were not familiar with the neighbourhood when asking about advice for eating out with children or walking; they were friendly but did not make you feel like they were there for you.

Though Wiltz is a quiet little town, we found the level of noise intrusive in this hotel .First of all clients need to be aware that there is some MAJOR building work going on next door, starting at 8am and continuing till 5. And in the evening there was some loud music coming from across the car park (not from hotel). Also if you have a river room and want to keep windows open for cool air, large groups of motorcycle guests drink and talk loudly outside the rooms till the early hours. The hotel itself is pretty good. Rooms are quite comfy (though overpriced in my opinion) . The highlights are the swimming pool (excellent) and the food which was superb. Just as well, as there seems to be little else of a comparable standard in Wiltz, certainly within walking distance. Finally, parking can be a bit hit and miss, with the aforementioned motorbikers taking up large areas of the smallish car park including,( unacceptably), the one disabled space.
