Great concept, really cool design. Great for all ages, from families to solo travellers. Staff was friendly, place was spot on clean at all times, and breakfast had a lot of options. For mentor only negative was the sleeping compartment (train) only had a tiny window, so it got hot and claustrophobic fast. Overall great once in a lifetime experience that o would recommend others.

Very nice and unique idea. This is my 4th stay at the BaseCamp and would still like to stay there again. Reasonable price, but cabins in the train wagon are somewhat tight.

Dear Traveller, Thank you for your review! We are glad that you are enjoying your stays with us, and that you keep coming back. If you want a little more space, then the caravans are certainly an option over the train compartments. see you next time!

Amazingly unique experience
Such a unique place to stay. Really incredible level of thought and detail in the decor. Communal toilets and showers really clean. We were a little warm in our train carriage accommodation (in October), we noticed others slept with the door ajar all night to get some air. Breakfast was good.

Quirky and amusing idea for a hotel, the simple fact of exploring it and its décors is intriguing and entertaining enough. My room may have been spatially tight but more or less I knew what I was getting into as I was booking a train compartment. Very good breakfast. Good location to explore the former (and partly current) capital area of Bonn and the very interesting Haus der Geschichte.

Even for business travel!
I stayed three nights for business and enjoyed my time there. Fun experience. Quiet at night. Near public transportation. Beds quite firm. It's not luxury but so much better than your typical hostel experience.

Cool movie set-style indoor camping experience
Had a small compartment in the big train carriage - but after I alerted the staff to a weird 'toilet' smell in that section of the warehouse, they put me straight into a really cool hippie VW van instead, which was a great surprise. It's well worth the money, and super clean. The most laid back and relaxed hostel I've stayed in - also near the Maritim Hotel for the popular Ring Con and Hobbitcon/ Magic Con.

Very interesting hostel!
I've never seen such a interesting hostel, with many buses and trains turned into fashionable rooms, especially at night, the atmosphere was amazing with color lights and nice music. The staff was friendly and of course, perfect English. Only 10 min by train to the center of Bonn, and on the way to the station, you can have nice meals in those restaurants around there. The space between two bunk beds was a little low so it was a little bit hard for my big companion, but for me it was perfect. If I stayed there during the time they had events, it would be even greater!

Fun camping style hostel but not cheap.
This is a fun place to stay if you like camping. We slept in a train sleeper car so we knew the bunks would be small, but the space was much tighter than expected. Also we didn't realize beforehand that it was a large train car with many cabins, so there was a lot of noise from others coming in and out and the cabin doors do not insulate the sound at all. The common areas for lounging, breakfast and bathrooms were in excellent condition and clean. Helpful staff, good basic cold breakfast (cereal, bread, lunch meat, cheese, yogurt). Overall it was fun for one night, but it was too expensive for what you get.

Good out of something bad
My friends and I had flight problems and missed our stay at Base Camp Bonn. The staff was wonderful and understanding when we cancelled. Their actions were very professional and timely. We will sometime in the future stay at the Camp and am looking forward to the experience. I filled numbers in just to complete the review.

Stay for the experience not the comfort
Look at the pictures, read other reviews and, if it floats your boat, book. If you want glorious deep comfy beds, silence and plenty of personal space then you probably decided against starting here already. We booked, loved it and had a great time, used the microwave and "kitchen area" to self cater and save money. Breakfast was fine. Everyone was relaxed and friendly. Facilities were spotlessly clean.

Overnight stay
Decent for the price. Clean, good breakfast, lots of activities, free parking, right off the freeway. We stayed in the Streamline trailer which was cool, but tight for a family of four. We'd stay here again

Eigentlich eine tolle Idee mit den Wohnwagen. Aber leider lässt man die Wohnwagen vor sich hin gammeln. Alleine die Tatsache das man einfach irgendwelche Duftbäumchen in die Wohnwagen hängt reicht bei weitem nicht aus. Ein bisschen mehr pflege würde das ganze sicherlich aufwerten. Das Frühstück ist soweit okay für ein zwei Tage ausreichend für länger zu eintönig. Die Sanitäranlagen sind OK.Es gibt auch etwas positives nämlich das Personal die machen ihren Job super. Und man lernt nette Menschen kennen. Die Umgebung ist auch schön und zu Fuß erreichbar es gibt auch viele gute Gastronomie die man alle zu Fuß erreichen kann. LG. Sabine und Christian aus Hessen.

Lieu insolite extrêmement bien pensé dans tous les détails. De la récupération de plusieurs époques et les différents thèmes sont un plaisir pour les yeux et le bien être. Calme lors de notre séjour. Petit dej suffisant. Chauffé. Juste la partie des douche pas confortable pour les femmes avec le béton au sol et les caisses pas stables pour poser les affaires.

Einzelne der kleinen Schränke im Traveller waren nicht sauber, da wollten wir nichts rein tun. Ein kleiner Mülleimer im Wagen wäre vorteilhaft. Eine Streichwurst (Leberwurst o.ä.) beim Frühstück hat gefehlt. Sonst alles super! Wir würden es definitiv empfehlen und wiederkommen!
