    An excellent concept and brilliant stay. I would go back in a heartbeat. Truly original. I stayed in the Trabant and the railway sleeping carriage and both were comfortable and clean and, in the Trabant’s case, quirky. The communal facilities are very good and plentiful. This stay was superb value. Super friendly and helpful staff. Although the location is out of the centre of Bonn it is well served by public transport, although you can occasionally get caught waiting for a while at the railway level crossing. Highly recommended for stays in Bonn.

    Unique experience. Just do it.

    The socket for plugs was set very high in the sleeping carriage. I needed to stand on the bed to reach it and it was actually difficult to charge my stuff. In the end I sat up in the breakfast area charging my things. The hot water was a bit strange. It came in spurts. I could shower OK but it wasn't 100% consistent. The bike hall was open at night. There were staff on reception but a door at the back was nevertheless open. I locked my bike with 3 locks and there were no issues, but 100% secure would be an overstatement.

    What a nice and unique place. It`s an experience to overnight there. I was on a bike tour and could park my bike in the hall. I had a train carriage room. I was worried it might be both hot and noisy. It was neither. I slept very well. The rom is small, especially with 4 bike bags, but I managed fine. The shared toilets and showers were spotlessly clean. The breakfast was outstanding. The breakfast area, overlooking the hall, was very comfortable.

    Adequate and clean but hot and got they messed up my reservation.

    I reserved an airstream but got the gondola and an extra small one instead because of their overbooking. This was not the experience I wanted because it split up our group. The gondola was not equal to the airstream although I was still charged for it. The outside seating was uncomfortable and there was nowhere to sit inside so you were forced to more public spaces. It was terribly hot inside the building with no air movement inside. The small fans were inadequate for cooling. Some ventilation from the outside and ceiling fans would help. The outside is in need of cleaning up. Get rid of the junky cars and buses and a good mowing would help. There is quite a bit of lighting in the building at night and so therefore both of our sleeping quarters had light inside during the night which didn't make for dark sleeping.

    Fun atmosphere. The beds were ok, but very clean. Everyone was very respectful and quiet time was adhered to. The bathrooms were clean and I appreciated a different shower room from the toilet room. If you like museums, it's by the museum mile, so it's a good location for that.

    The finishing inside our caravan was not perfect. Some lights not working, not enough sockets etc. But for just one night that was not a problem at all. And one half of our double bed was not standing 100% flat which was a little bit annoying, but again, not a problem for a short stay.

    One-of-a-kind experience. Beautifully designed. Good breakfast. We used it as a stop-over during a road-trip. If you fancy a good German evening meal for a fair price, we can highly recommend Markusschänke (Burbacher Straße).

    It was not so convenient to climb up to bed. In my compartment, at least, was no ladder. Compartment doors are closing with small barn locks.

    For this price it is very good hostel. I had an event in Cologne and the prices there are huge, so to book hostel in Bonn and then use public transport was much cheaper. The hostel itself has good showers and toilets, small kitchen with microwave ofen, kettle and so on.

    A unique experience that I really enjoyed, but the city centre is a long walk. No cooking facilities

    I wish I had my own fridge. There's no cooking facilities, so I would recommend they install a BBQ at least.

    What can I say about this place. It's unique, and I'm glad I decided to stay here. I had an Airstream to myself, which was great. The beds are a bit on the short side, but no biggie. The shower facilities were clean and the water was nice and strong and hot. The staff were all friendly but unobtrusive. The location is close to a train station, and a 15 minute ride on an e-scooter into the centre. It's a great budget option that you won't forget.

    In the train, some guests smoke although it is clearly mentioned that smoking is not allowed. I faced this issue. But fortunately, when I contacted the staff in the middle of the night, they gave me a caravan which was superb. So a smoke detector or something like that would be very useful especially in the train.

    This is a different concept. The idea is excellent and all the rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

    Not enough hooks in the room and showers to hang clothes. Would be nice to be able to wipe excess water after showering with a squeegee or so to keep the cabinets clean and dry for the next person.

    The bed was comfortable. Despite the open space layout, it was pretty quiet. People respected privacy and quiet hours. The breakfast was really good!

    About the only negative was the little camper I was in was too small for me to even lift the table that was inside.

    The campers are cute, love the themes. The breakfast (which I didn't have) looked decent enough. Showers had decent water pressure.

    The sleeper compartment is very small (obviously) so I kept my large suitcase in a locker overnight. There is an outdoor bbq and a fridge, microwave and kettle inside. that is as far as the self catering facilities go so it might not be suited for longer stays as a solo and budget traveler.

    I loved the quirky-ness of the venue and it's set up. It was very interesting to stay in a train sleeper compartment and I feel the set up of the "camp" makes it very easy and natural to meet and hang out with others staying there.

    The train corridor had a smell to it like foot odor/sweat/people. It wasn't awful but off-putting sometimes. I wouldn't recommend the train for longer stays, but for 1-2 days is totally fine!

    This was a very surprising stay in a very good way. The place is extremely creative, cozy, colorful, and really impressive. The environment was relaxing but also playful, and everybody looked like they were having a good time. It kind of felt like camping indoors. We stayed in the train, which had very small but compact rooms, we got our way around it and it was super fun.

    The beds in the train cabin are pretty tight, but then the price was right.

    the hall is very interesting and fun. With all the American style campers. Gives more the feel of a movie-set. A good place to with, all kinds of seats.
