Train Lodge Amsterdam

Great for short stays and probably bad for peak season

Cool concept. Great staff. I was lucky amd there were only 2 people in your compartment of 6 beds. The 6 person compartment was bigger than modern sleeper cars. Each side had the 3 sleeping car style beds against the wall like normal. However there was enough room in between the 2 small sinks and a folding partition separating the 2 sides. Since there were only 2 of us, we closed the partition and had a side to ourselves, complete with a personal sink and the unused beds were great places to put the luggage.

If there had been 4-6 in one compartment, it would have been terribly uncomfortable. You would have to put your luggage on your bed as there’s no luggage storage. Rooms and bathrooms were a little drafty in the winter morning but what can you expect from a train car? The dining/lounge car however was kept especially warm.
