Train Lodge Amsterdam is located next to Amsterdam Sloterdijk Train Station. Train lodge is a unique hostel with shared and private accommodation, an on-site bar, a sunny terrace and free Wi-Fi in public areas.

I’ve been staying at the Train Lodge Amsterdam multiple times and every time it was awesome. Aside from having the experience to stay on a real train on a real rail, the staff were always nice and it was always clean. Even though the location is not in the central area, you can easily find a tram stop just steps away which can get you to the central in just minutes. Also, the area is not that touristic in my opinion so you tend to see more locals. All in all, I recommend this place to everyone visiting Amsterdam and I will definitely stay here again.

Each dormitory room comes with bunk beds and shared shower and toilet facilities. The private room comes with a TV to stream Netflix or Youtube, refrigerator and private bathroom which is fitted with a shower.

I never imagined staying at a hostel until, but all the hotels were booked. No regrets, it was an interesting experience and would recommend for solo travelers. Rooms were quiet because there were other areas for people to socialize. Great set up,i felt safe the entire time.
