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

Beware of this dump. Keep out!!! Don't ever sleep in their train cabins. It is the most unsanatary place I have ever seen in a hostel. All night and a half a day the sink was clogged in the women's bathroom. There was no toilet paper from 12 am to 2 pm in the same women's bathroom. The hallways were full of garbage from 6 am to 2 pm until I had had it and booked a new place. I am surprised that this place has not been shut down for not meeting European Union standards. It is a scam for what they charge for complete disgust.

I initially booked the train cabin for my family of 6 because the rooms were fully booked. Upon seeing how small they were, I went to the front desk to request a transfer to a family room. The place was fully booked that night, but they were able to get us into one for the following two nights. The staff was very helpful and quick to accommodate our needs.

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.
