Train Lodge - Jordaan

An authentic train wagon from the 60s! which means it’s very narrow and looks old. However, it’s very clean and the smallest part is the room, where you can only sleep. The shower (of the left side of the wagon) is twice the space of a room and very clean, with nice free shampoo and shower gel. The cafeteria is cozy and has a charming terrace which makes your stay (in summer). The staff is very nice, polite and willing to help, specially Camila which is effective and available too. We arrived on a Thursday night and left the following Tuesday and we were cycling through the country so waking up early and going to bed early. We thought we were not going to sleep cos during the weekend large groups of students arrived and the lodge was fully booked, rooms have the thinnest walls I’ve seen and it’s actually beside the Sloterdijk Station’s tracks. Reality was you only need the room to sleep, guests are very respectful, common places are kept clean by everybody, the cafeteria it’s terrace were never packed, the location is super convenient to move around Amsterdam or the country and you only hear the trains when you are awake (nothing to compare with the constant and horrific noise of a big city so this could be actually considered a quiet place in Amsterdam).

Best place to stay for backpackers. Amazing friendly staff with very welcoming attitude. Hygiene levels top notch. I have a flight late evening and they allowed me to store my luggage and also let me hang around in the lobby. Will sure come back! Enjoyed my stay.

This hostel is behind the station of Amsterdam Sloterdijk, so it is easily reachable by public transport. Rooms are okay: you could be a bit uncomfortable if you're quite tall and you sleep in the bed at the top. It is cheaper than other hostels in Amsterdam.

As a former hostel receptionist I have to say GREAT JOB the hostel is CLEAN rooms are really beautiful feels like traveling back in time in an old western movie receptionist are really helpful and always willing to help and doing iij t with a smile real one not 5 5 star hotel fake one : truly reccomend this hostel for your stay in amsterdam

Connectivity wise the hostel location is great, there is nearby train, bus and tram station. This hostel is about 30min away from city center. Rooms were cozy and washrooms and bathrooms are available. Breakfast of croissant, ham&cheese, jam, nutella and bread, juice and coffee cost us 8Euro. I think it was decent price and you can eat you fill, so its worth it. We just need to inform them 1 night prior and you will get breakfast for next day. We had a car and had parked infront of the hostel as it is free Parking which is a big plus(Free parking on Weekends only).
