Train Lodge Amsterdam - Hostel

Very convenient spot right next to the Sloterdijk station. Unique and super cool experience if you want a break from the usual hostel situation.

It was an amazing experience. The stay was in a real train and it was really cool. Comfortable and clean.

Room was clean, the nostalgia of it all, and the amenities were up to par with each hostel (of the many) I've stayed in in Amsterdam. There could be a larger and cheaper option for food for those (including me) who are on a budget and/or don't want to go out nearby in the frigid cold (writing this January 24th, 2026, so.) Mr. Harry at the front and all the staff I've encountered have treated me SO much kinder and better than the last 3 hostels (it's a shame really, it's been insane) but this has felt somewhat healing which I need myself right now, and I'm sure someone reading this needs a respite too; we're all weathering some kind of storm silently right now just at different levels and stages. This Train Hostel is definitely the vibe if you wanna just dip from.the traditional tourist garbage and see AMSTERDAM (but no worries, you're not but 1min to bus station which can take you anywhere- including the famous Amsterdam spots some no doubt want to see. 17min bus ride downtown to heart of city, 19 to Red Light District. Definitely wish I'd found this cozy spot sooner,

Overall nice place to stay for cheaper than most other Amsterdam options. Some showers and sinks broken which limited facilities. Naturally no sound insulation at all between rooms and some seriously inconsiderate guests in the early hours. Temperature was good but I wouldn’t like to be there during summer, as it was on the warm side. No room key is given, you are expected to leave your room unlocked all day or ask staff every time you want to enter and exit - this is ridiculous in my opinion. Staff are friendly and helpful, however we’re surprised I wanted my room locked. Well-located with a quick train into Amsterdam central.
