The place is okayish for a one-night stay with friends, just a train revised to be a lodge. However, it is really well-located and the staff is really friendly. A highlight of the day was Stephanie, the host of the Train Lodge, who was incredibly friendly and went the extra mile to find us a place for an authentic Dutch breakfast

Is the worrest place I stayed in . The room is very very small like you don’t have even space to move at all . The price they recharged me 82 Euro for one night which is very high . And other hostels recharged 40 euro and much much better from this place . The toilets and everything is very very small I couldn’t do anything at this shity place . Hostels I stayed one night and after runaway. I didn’t recommended for any one.Plus before I books the room they are send email that your reservation is canceled.ans I was already on my way and after I see thier email I start looking for another place and booking another place I thought after they cancel the reservation they will return the money cause it’s thier problem . Ans after they send me email again sorrey it was by mistake your reservation is still here and I was already prepared my self for another place .after I decide to go the place and talk to return money and cancel the reservation the guy at reception he refused to cancel and returned my money back he said you must cancel before 48 hours . Yes you are right but it was your problem you are the one keep send email that you are cancelled so I booked another place . And after he say this they recharged me 82 euro .and I was angry

Recommended if you are looking for an affordable place. A little difficult if 2 or 3 people use the rooms in the same room. Room. The price is appropriate to the service obtained. The location is very good as it is next to the Sloterdijk station.

I was able to check in earlier because there was room. Woman at the counter shows as little interest as possible and also communicates reluctantly while she is constantly messaging on WhatsApp in my field of vision. Of course I would have preferred an enthusiastic host. Rooms are funny. Could be cleaner, they are quite dusty. It is a very good location! Update: 1:00 PM they asked me to leave the hostel because of my bad review (obligated to leave the hostel). I think that should tell you enough :)

They got everything they could get out of a sleeper train. Clearly the spaces are cramped but the experience is truly worth it! There is also a carriage with tables where you can sit freely and there is a bar service inside. The guys who run it were all very kind and helpful. The location is not very close to the center of Amsterdam unfortunately and there is nothing nearby, but at least it is literally attached to the station before the central one and it is very short on the train. Despite the proximity to the train tracks, the rooms are decidedly well soundproofed. Very recommended!

It's exactly what you see. We loved our stay and managed to meet many people in the process, as everyone was very friendly. The 24 hour reception was also actually 24 hours was nice to see considering even many hotels cannot maintain this.I will certainly be coming back with my friends. We booked the private 3 bunk room which we certainly enjoyed!

Fantastic space but don't have large luggage or pass by cramped rooms, this is a train with a shared toilet and shower and everything is like living in a motorhome. For many just fine, for others too tight. But great reception and sitting to work in. I have spent many hours here working on projects outside of the job I had at the fair during my stay. Recommended
