The location is fantastic. Tram is very close. 2min walk. Very fun concept of staying in a train. Staff lovely. The negatives were dragging suitcases up three very long staircases. Also we were in C31 which was supposed to sleep 2 people. No working ladder to the top berth. Bottom bed would maybe sleep two 8 year old kids. Not two adults. Should not be considered a double room. Had to sleep feet to head so that we could fit. If trying to sleep an adult this should be a single room. Bed wasn’t even a double bed. Also second night we froze. Heat couldn’t be controlled in the room. We’re really glad we tried it but likely would stay somewhere a bit more comfortable next time

Allez découvrir Train cabin Hostel !
Nous avons passé une nuit, une cabine adultes et une cabine pour nos 5 enfants (10, 12, 15, 17 et 19 ans). Le concept est très fun, avec peu de bagages et une bonne organisation ! Le personnel est vraiment sympa et professionnel. Mension spéciale pour la propreté des sanitaires et le buffet du petit-déjeuner, joliment présenté, varié et bon ! Bravo, nous reviendrons visiter Bruxelles !

⚠️ cabines de train sans drap et couette
Il n’était pas précisé sur le descriptif de l’hôtel que les cabines dans les wagons n’ont pas de drap ni couverture ou couette ni de serviettes de toilettes. Nous avons donc dû ajouter 15€ par duvet et 2€ pour 2 serviettes, ce qui n’était pas prévu dans notre budget. (L’hôtel le précise dans sa confirmation mais le site Hotels.com n’en parle pas en amont). Par ailleurs l’hôtel est proche de l’aéroport et de la gare donc en plus des voisins qui claquent les portent des cabines et parlent fort jour comme nuit, l’environnement est très bruyant. A part ça l’accueil est très pro et le petit déjeuner très bon.

Un séjour fort sympathique, le cadre dans lequel nous sommes plongez est atypique ce qui est plaisant. Le seul problème est la chambre, ne prenez pas les train cabines si vous êtes grand, vous risqueriez de passez une mauvaise nuit comme moi.

Expérience dépaysante
Petite escapade avec nos petites filles de 16 et 19 ans pour visite de Bruxelles. Expérience dépaysante et hors du commun. Confort sommaire mais en accord avec le concept du train couchette.

Super weekend avec les enfants !
Hotel vraiment sympa avec des enfants (nous étions en cabine de train couchette) malgré le bruit des voisins mais ça fait partie du jeu vu que c'est un vrai train ! (pas d'isolation) Mes enfants ont adoré !
Petit dej un peu cher pour 3, beaucoup déjeunaient en "hors sac" sur la terrasse et c'est une bonne idée pour la prochaine fois :-)
Sinon très bien situé, possibilité de rejoindre la gare centrale de Bruxelles en train en 10 minutes en sachant que le train est gratuit pour 4 enfants de moins de 12 ans voyageant avec un adulte ! Et il y a vraiment beaucoup de trains.
Sanitaires modernes et propres, Wifi top aussi !

Hostel mit spannender Übernachtungs möglichkeiten
Personal sehr freundlich und versucht zu helfen. Aber sonnst seht laut und man kommt kaum zu schlafen in den Abteilen. Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier total falsch.
