Prachtig decor, warme ontvangst

Ons verblijf in het Train Hostel was fantastisch! Het hostel is prachtig ingericht en het thema is bijzonder mooi uitgewerkt. Er zijn enorm veel verschillende opties voor verschillende soorten kamers, dus er is voor elk wat wils. Een bijzonder warme ontvangst en erg schone kamers.

The hostel is a really cool place; I wish we had stayed longer to explore it more. The breakfast was lovely; the neighborhood interesting but a bit sketchy.

Best avoided

Extremely rude staff who treat you like you're a criminal before you've even said a word, dark rooms with wafer-thin, uncomfortable bedding, sewer smell coming from the bathroom... The train theme is unfortunately not fun enough to make up for the shortcomings of this hotel. Nice restaurant though, with friendly staff who seem just as confused as the guests by the behaviour of the hotel management team.

As a family with three kids we experienced a pleasant stay in one of the bigger family rooms. Located next to Schaerbeek railway station it does not only fit in the neighbourhood, but is also a practical location for visiting Brussels with kids. A visit to Train World cannot be missed and public transportation is nearby. The hotel itself has a nifty designed interior with model trains and railway signs representing Belgian train history. The rooms are neat and sturdy, beds are clean, but here and there some maintenance could improve the overall quality of our room. Best of all the friendly and cooperative staff made our experience light-hearted.

Cute hostel

Overall this is a good hostel. The decor is really cute and the common areas are really nice. The breakfast is a bit pricey at 8 euro, and during the day you can’t really be in common areas because it looks like they’re doing renovations , but in general it’s a decent place to stay if visiting Brussels

Interesting theme for kids and train lovers

My child and I got to stay in an empty dormitory room instead of a twin room. Bunk beds made us feel like sleeping in the overnight train and it was fun. But the bed was very narrow and sealing was too low for adult. At least, children must love it.

C'est bien, propre, bonne literie. chambres originales. Petit déjeuner 8 euro tout à fait honorable. Le gros défaut, c'est une amende de 20 € si vous arrivez tardivement. C'est beaucoup et c'est injuste pour une chambre déjà payée, alors qu'il y a encore des gens un peu partout dans l'hôtel et quelqu'un à l'accueil. A changer rapidement.
