A-Train Hotel

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Amsterdam, close to the central station. Easy walk to the Anne Frank house, restaurants, and sights. The train theme through the main lobby was fun, with lots of train memorabilia. Our room was clean and quiet. Our room was on two floors with a narrow stair between them. That was fine for us, but someone who was very mobility challenged would have issues. I suspect that our room was one of the only ones with this so other rooms would not be an issue. The staff was uniformly friendly and very helpful.

Great location directly opposite Centraal Station. Friendly staff at check in and we could leave our luggage as we had arrived early. The hotel is quirky with a train theme. The rooms are basic but have most essentials, including efficient air con and a safe. The hairdryer is quite a dated design and not much good for a high maintenance bob! The breakfast was good and included a selection of breads, pastries, cold meats and cereal. You can access the hot drinks machine at any time during your stay (there is no kettle/coffee machine in the room) We had quite a bit of noise on our second evening from another room. Not the hotels fault but worth taking ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Overall we had a great stay and good value for money for central Amsterdam.

Our last leg of our trip/vacation in The Netherlands was a short stay back in Amsterdam. But was made totally perfect by our 4 night stay at the A-Train Hotel. Husband chose it for it’s prime location across the canal bridge to the train station. A stay there turned out to be the highlight of our trip! The staff are “ALL 10 STAR”, happy to assist you & VERY CONVIVIAL. The owner has a “passion” for trains, as the hotel’s theme is just that. Our room, #001, was original and merged possibly from 2 if not 3 buildings. Totally unique, and with it’s own enclosed patio. The room cozy, yet spacious and painted in red. The only thing I found a bit perplexing was the shower stall was open. Leave the cotton floor mat far away enough from the entrance to the shower, least you soak the floor. The liquid soap by the vanity & inside the shower smells heavenly, & doubles as shampoo. The hair dryer leaves a lot to be desired, but will dry your hair. The heater is NOT on the wall, but ACTUALLY HIDDEN BEHIND THE DRAPES. Once you learn how to navigate the switch - COUNTER CLOCKWISE turns on the heat, and # 5 – 6 will give you a comfortable heated range. CLOCKWISE, SHUTS IT OFF. Buffet breakfast is fine, and served daily from 7 – 10 am. And after checking into this wonderful themed-hotel, you’ll walk on painted tracks, past the breakfast-dining room towards the hotel rooms themselves. There is free coffee and water 24-7, at the really neato coffee machine. The A-Train Hotel, a 10 STAR HOTEL!

We took a taxi from the airport - €80. The wifi was great. We really liked the hotel.

Great location. Nice train set up indoors. Great breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff. I was in room 107 and sometimes could hear a ticking sound.
