    I stayed in one of the train carriages in July, and it was quite hot. There wasn't a lot of space and it was difficult to reach the top bunk of my bed, as there was no built in ladder. Apart from this it was clean and comfortable though, and it wasn't much of an issue as there was plenty space to relax and hang out in the common area.

    We were in walking distance of Kunstrasen for a concert which was great. The bathrooms and shower rooms were nice and clean and the water was hot. It was nice that the hostel offered cold drinks and beers, and there were nice indoor and outdoor areas to sit. The hostel design is also unique and quirky, really cool.

    A mini kitchen would be a brilliant addition as there aren’t many cheap eating options around. There is a kettle and a fridge.

    Quirky unusual and brilliant rooms. Very clean. We stayed in a converted cable car - great experience! Fab for kids.

    Car park is too small without marked places so people park irregularly. Sleeper car rooms are too small for the price and noisy too.

    It's all cool and cute but...

    The electric socket is too high. I feel like doing treasury hunt to find where I can plug my charger. I need to step on the bed every time I use it.

    The cabin room and coffee at the restaurant, but I pay 2.50euro for the coffee

    A really great place for children and backpackers.Love the originality of it.Its a very quiet,nice walk from the train station(40 mins)or can catch the train to nearby.Not too far from the river either for a scenic walk into town.The bottles of cold beer for sale very welcome.

    It was so much fun to stay in a camper van for the night! The bathrooms were clean and the hotel staff were very helpful. We loved that there was a little Christmas market taking place on site.

    You don’t have the train noise in the background which in the past would help with making the rooms “soundproof”. This wasn’t an issue for me and won’t be as long as neighbours are respectful.

    Fun experience sleeping in a bunk bed in an old train. The place looks like a vintage museum, where you can find all kind of pretty and well maintained caravans and other types of vehicles.

    It’s necessary to cross train tracks in order to get to BaseCamp. Most of the time, this is no problem. However, one time, there were a lot of trains, and I had to wait 30 minutes before I was allowed to cross.

    This is a great budget-friendly option in Bonn. The accommodations are so quirky and cute. I stayed in the “Big Ben” camper van and I loved the British-themed details. I felt like I was camping indoors! The shared bathrooms are very clean. I really liked the vegetarian breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back - I have already booked another stay!

    Breakfast (veggie style) is included. I slept in train (I do not reccommend this option, because place was too small). If you want to have nice stay, choose caravan. Those were amazing.

    An excellent concept and brilliant stay. I would go back in a heartbeat. Truly original. I stayed in the Trabant and the railway sleeping carriage and both were comfortable and clean and, in the Trabant’s case, quirky. The communal facilities are very good and plentiful. This stay was superb value. Super friendly and helpful staff. Although the location is out of the centre of Bonn it is well served by public transport, although you can occasionally get caught waiting for a while at the railway level crossing. Highly recommended for stays in Bonn.

    The socket for plugs was set very high in the sleeping carriage. I needed to stand on the bed to reach it and it was actually difficult to charge my stuff. In the end I sat up in the breakfast area charging my things. The hot water was a bit strange. It came in spurts. I could shower OK but it wasn't 100% consistent. The bike hall was open at night. There were staff on reception but a door at the back was nevertheless open. I locked my bike with 3 locks and there were no issues, but 100% secure would be an overstatement.

    What a nice and unique place. It`s an experience to overnight there. I was on a bike tour and could park my bike in the hall. I had a train carriage room. I was worried it might be both hot and noisy. It was neither. I slept very well. The rom is small, especially with 4 bike bags, but I managed fine. The shared toilets and showers were spotlessly clean. The breakfast was outstanding. The breakfast area, overlooking the hall, was very comfortable.

    Breakfast not the best value for money. Very basic continental. Fairly warm in the hanger, small fans didn’t help much in the caravan

    Great caravans, lovely private seating area.
