A-Train Hotel - A train-themed 3-star hotel with Pullman lounge breakfast room steps from Amsterdam Central

Located just 1640.4 ft from Amsterdam Central Station, this train-themed Amsterdam hotel occupies a traditional Dutch-style building. The A-Train Hotel features air-conditioned rooms equipped with cable TV, private bathrooms with granite floors, and hairdryers. Each room includes rose and gold bedspreads, blue and gold curtains, and rosewood furniture. The hotel's signature Pullman lounge, designed to replicate a train restaurant car, incorporates banquette seating, green and wood decor, train pictures, luggage racks, and painted train tracks along the floor. Guests receive a complimentary Dutch breakfast buffet served in this unique setting. Some rooms offer split-level layouts, exposed wooden beams, or views of the river. A-Train provides 24-hour check-in, luggage storage, and free Wi-Fi throughout. The property sits within a 15-minute walk of main shopping areas and pubs.

Pros

Distinctive train-themed decor with authentic railway design elements

Complimentary continental breakfast in a replica Pullman dining car

24-hour complimentary coffee and tea service

Children's play areas available in select family rooms

Cons

12.5 miles distance from Schiphol Airport

“This train-themed hotel sits steps from Central Station, an ideal springboard for exploring Amsterdam. The railway motif extends delightfully to the breakfast lounge, staged in a vintage carriage. For families or those seeking a memorable stay, its historical ambiance and convenient location are clear wins.”

Decent stay near the station

convenient locationfree drinkquestionable cleannesswired design
The location is very convenient. It is easy to reach from the central station. 24 hours free hot drinks were available. This was a nice touch after returning to the hotel (especially in the evening).
Cleanness is questionable. My family room had a wired design. The bed over the main double bed is not useful. The design of the kid bed over double bed makes it easy to bump your head.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

The staff were helpful upon arrival.
The room was quite small. The window had poor insulation, and work was occurring directly outside. Metal plates caused loud noises from passing vehicles, disrupting sleep.

The location is convenient, right across from the train station. Trams were also very close. I slept very well despite the busy area. The staff was always friendly and cute. I found the free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available 24/7 to be a really nice touch.
The room was a bit cold at night. The shower provided lukewarm water, and I felt the water pressure could be stronger. This made washing my hair a bit difficult.

the hotel location was excellent for my plans. i had a train to catch quite early, so this was very convenient.. having stayed before, i knew the breakfast was adequate. the hotel is also situated around the corner from the main area.
the room was too small. the bathroom light did not work properly. the mirror is on the side of the sink, so it is impossible to use and see my face, side mirror.
