Overall nice hostel. You get a private room which is always nice however it is of course very tight(you are on a train) and for tall ppl the bed can be a bit small. The wifi is very bad though. Its nonetheless a cool experience you are by a beautiful beach. Great staff, good breakfast, just a shame the kitchen closes before 8pm.

Great value for money and if you're on a budget. The small cabins look right out over the beach, very clean, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

I had a wonderful time. Yes the cabin is small, but it's right on the beach front. Nice bar. I loved it

Very nice experience to sleep in the train. The basic room is very basic, the shared toilet and bathroom where clean. Sounds from neighbours are very hearable. I prefer a thinner pillow than i had. Overal the stay was nice, breakfast is good and the staff is so friendly

Sehr cooles Erlebnis! Schlafen in altem Zug, Mega bequem und mit wunderschöner Aussicht aufs Meer! Nur das Waschbecken funktionierte nicht richtig! Achtet darauf, das Zimmer mit Badewanne zu bekommen, da könnt ihr euch problemlos die Hände waschen

They need to work on the WiFi that's the only challenge.

So charming to be staying in a train carriage right by the beach! I wish we could have stayed longer! Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff, good security.

Zimmer war nicht fertig, als wir einchecken wollten. Keiner hat uns mitgeteilt, dass Frühstück inkludiert ist.. Super langsamer Service im Restaurant. Saßen 30 Minuten und keine Person hat uns bedient :-(. Der Zug an sich ist cool zum übernachten, aber der Strand eine große Katastrophe - viel zu voll und touristisch. :-(

Es ist schon etwas besonderes, so ein Zug direkt am Strand -ein kleines Erlebnis! Man muss sich natürlich im Klaren darüber sein, dass ein Schlafwagenabteil sehr beengt ist. Die schnuckelige Bar, wurde morgens zum Frühstücksraum umfunktioniert. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend. Es könnte noch darauf geachtet werden, dass das Frühstücksbuffet zur angegebenen Zeit komplett ist und das Brot, die Milch etc. nicht mit mehrere Minuten Abstand nach und nach hinzugefügt werden. So...

Einfach toll einem der Royal Apartments zu schlafen, ein Hauch von Luxus der Jahrhundertwende, sauber, super Personal und der Strand direkt vor dem Zug. Sehr zu empfehlen🤩🤩
