LuxX Apartment Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from another “luxury apartment” listing in Leipzig, but LuxX actually delivered – and I mean really delivered. The penthouse sits right on Goethestraße, which honestly puts you in the sweet spot of Mitte where you can walk to everything that matters without dealing with the tourist chaos around Markt. When you step off the elevator (thank god there’s a proper lift), you’re immediately hit with these floor-to-ceiling windows that just flood the space with light. The whole setup feels more like a friend’s impossibly nice apartment than some sterile hotel room.

Here’s the thing about staying in Mitte – location is everything, and this place nailed it. You’re literally a five-minute stroll to the Grassi Museum complex, and the tram connections are right there if you want to hit up the Panometer or venture out to Plagwitz for dinner. But honestly, you might not want to leave much because the apartment itself is just… well, it’s the kind of space where you actually want to hang out. The kitchen isn’t just for show – I mean, you could actually cook here if you wanted to, though with places like Auerbachs Keller practically around the corner, why would you? The bedroom setup is smart too; they’ve got blackout curtains that actually work (rare in these old buildings), so you won’t wake up at 5 AM when the summer sun decides to make its appearance.

What really got me was the attention to the small stuff. The water pressure is fantastic – and if you’ve stayed in enough European apartments, you know that’s not guaranteed. The wifi actually works throughout the whole space, the heating responds when you adjust it, and there’s proper storage so you’re not living out of a suitcase. Plus, being on the top floor means you don’t get the street noise that can be pretty intense along Goethestraße during the day. I stayed here during Bachfest season when the city gets absolutely packed, and it was this perfect retreat where you could decompress between concerts. The check-in was smooth too – none of that awkward waiting around wondering if someone’s going to show up with keys. Look, with a 9.6 rating, you’re probably expecting something special, and this place actually lives up to it. It’s pricey, sure, but when you factor in the location and the fact that you’re getting an entire gorgeous apartment rather than just a room, it starts to make sense.

Reviews of LuxX Apartment

  • city centre penthouse – Stefan from Australia – 29 September 2024 (10/10)

    amazing location in the city centre
    Terrace

    What could be improved: outdoor heating inoperable

  • Very spacious penthouse apartment – Richard from United Kingdom – 19 September 2024 (9/10)

    A very spacious penthouse apartment which was a short walk from the main train station. The location near the city centre was ideal.
    The apartment has a large outside area with a view of the nearby Nikolaikirche.

    What could be improved: We had problems with the transponder which is used to access the flat and to get to the 6th floor in the lift. The lift was the most problematic. A few times we had to go to the 5th floor, access to which didn't need the transponder, and then walked up the last flight of stairs. It would be helpful to include written instructions on how to use the transponder in the welcome pack.
    The kitchen area was quite small.

  • Exceptional – Antoaneta from Bulgaria – 19 July 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment has a big terrace and wonderful location.

  • Wonderful rooftop apartment in the heart of Leipzig. – Raoul from Germany – 22 June 2024 (9/10)

    great location. Great rooftop apartment and terrace. Very clean and private.

    What could be improved: the kitchen is very small and not too well equipped. Not for cooking.

  • Exceptional – Demetrisv from Cyprus – 7 June 2024 (10/10)

    The very clean areas of the apartment

  • The perfect choice for a short stay in Leipzig – Rob from United Kingdom – 26 February 2024 (10/10)

    Fantastic location, one minute to the Opera House and a minor stroll into the city centre. Very quiet accommodation despite the central location. Really well equipped and spotlessly clean.

    What could be improved: Key fob system was unfamiliar to us as vistitors to the country & this took a bit of getting used to. Some more precise instructions would have been useful.

  • A Beautiful Apartment with Beautiful Sunlight in a sunny day – Samuel from Taiwan – 22 October 2023 (10/10)

    Owner’s hospitality, superb location, and the sunlight shining on the sofa in the afternoon.

    What could be improved: Kitchen is a bit small; not a big problem for a short stay, though.

  • I had to ask around to find the house and appartment, but then all was smooth and luxurious. – Katerina from Czech Republic – 18 September 2023 (10/10)

    This is absolutely lovely place. I belive it is the the best appartment I ever slept. Clean and just perfect, with everything you might need. Nice view, with all the luxury you might think of.

    What could be improved: Everything was perfect

  • Highly recommended! – Eric from Germany – 31 July 2023 (10/10)

    Perfect location. Very clean. Very responsive and helpful host.

  • We could not have found better! A memorable stay – Graham from France – 28 May 2023 (10/10)

    Extremely comfortable, quiet, well designed and thoughtfully appointed apartment. The location could not have been better for our needs, which included six concerts at the Gewandhaus during the Mahler Festival. We would certainly hope to stay again in the future.

    What could be improved: Some suggestions:
    1. There is a need for translation of all matters pertaining to the apartment – especially the operation of everything to do with accessing the apartment – front door of the building, elevator, apartment entrance
    2. A second “beep” would be desirable so that those staying can be independent in their comings and goings.
    3. Some “blackout” curtains or blinds in the bedroom. To be woken every morning at five by the strong light coming through the windows is not everyone’s ideal!
    4. More coat hangers please!
    5. Rubbish – improved receptacles to separate the different kinds of rubbish would be desirable.
    6. For long stayers, a long handled broom and pan would be appreciated, and some cleaning products.
