Great staff, strange vibes.
The vibe in this place is intermittent sometimes it is fantastic great pace to be in, then other times very irritating. The narrowness off the carriageways becomes annoying as does the longer staying people. Really like the idea. However won’t be back.

Amazing an convenient experience
Amazing and unique experience. I don't get to sleep in a train hostel every day. It's also really well located since it's next to the train to the airport and city centre, the tram and the metro. There's staff 24 hours so it was safe.

If you book this property through Expedia, they will make you pay twice the booking price as they say that you book only 1 bed (even if you book for 2 people and that the price for 2 people is similar to what is on their website). Do not book through Expedia! It's overall a nice place, but a scam for people who do not book on their own website. They do not let you know about it upon check-in but will most definitely take the money from your bank account!

Yes this is unique but the experience is not desirable. The rooms are small and cluttered with cords and no place to store your belongings, you are not given a room key but are told.to rely on your roomates to have the receptionist lock it when they leave. There is 1 possibly 2 very small toilets on the train car that holds close to over 40 ppl. I was told that the room next to me was being paid for by the government so i assume its either for homeless, rehab or exCon which is fine except I paid more here than the usual hostel. The trains next door run until 1am and start up again at 7am. I woke up the 1st morning with very swollen eyes and bite bumps all over my face. There is 1 outlet with an extension cord per 3 bunks. When I did complain to the owner as I was running out the door he told me I should have gotten out of bed at 1:30am and told him about the fighting in the room next to me. The receptionists are nice and helpful but im sure limited on what can be done. Dont stay here unless its your last choice or you are young and dont care.

Highly Recommended 5*
I wanted to say that my trip to Amsterdam Train Lodge hostel was absolutely fantastic. The staff were all very friendly. Sympathetic of my situation I found myself in on arrival, and communications before I left the UK, and after check out. The breakfast was out of this world, very tasty and set me up for the day. They were very knowledeable about from fares for public transport through to where the best attractions were. They couldnt do enough for you. Highly recommended, and if your a train spotter as I am, it was a trainspotters paradise!!

This has to be the worst hostel in Amsterdam. The owners are extremely rude and tried to charge me extra. Never ever stay there. Thank me later.

The lodge was a great place, it's out of the hustle and close enough by transit to many of the attractions. I had an unfortunate experience of my cell phone stolen from the charger in the room by one of the occupants. The staff kicked in gear to help me with time checks, directions, etc. made me feel a lot better about a situation out of any ones control. They have a sign posted as to cameras for security but as to the day I left they don't have any in place. So it's best to not to loose site of your belonging not even while sleeping. I had great assistance to make the trip great, the place is unique and it's a place for riding solo. Please no nice nasty remarks really can't handle.

Smallest rooms ever!
Ridiculously small room for 3 people. Even for a single person is too small. I made a mistake booking this hostel for 5 nights. 2 nights max if you wanna to experience fun living in the train. Also overpriced, and it’s definitely not worth €600 for our stay. Staff is every morning and every evening different. The key to your room is not given. We have to ask to lock and unlock our room. it was annoying. No towels included in the price, no breakfast.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Felt really safe travelling alone. Really cool set up with the converted train just a lack of space to settling in as the rooms are so small. One min walk from the station so really easy to get into the center of Amsterdam.
