Staying in a retired Swiss Rail sleeper car has been one of the best experiences on this trip to Amsterdam! Very lovely mix of international staff and guests, can be a bit noisy on the weekends, but overall one of the most fun and friendly places I've stayed. The only problem is it is not able to accommodate people with physical disabilities, and the bunks are somewhat hard and narrow. But I would highly recommend it to able-bodied visitors who enjoy meeting new and interesting people, and want a more unique experience than a generic hostel or hotel.
Check in was at 3, got there at 3, my cabin was still being cleaned, so I just sad there til 4:15. I paid for a cabin with 2 beds, was placed in one with 3. This is by far the smallest hostel room I've ever seen. The pictures look way different than the actual location. Way too expensive for what you get.

You never could have paid for a compartment with 2 beds because we only have 3 beds and 6 beds compartments! Its is a hostel in a train and the picture are clear about it.
