What is it about trains? They are just so big and powerful, and yet majestic – even if you see one moving slowly along its tracks you must stop and look. But to be on a train car, especially one that is over 70 years old and steeped in history, is a special treat. Our family (kids, parents and grandparents) spent the night on the Bonnie Brook, and it could not have been any better. The preparations by Host David Robertson and our Porter Justin made our stay truly memorable. There was plenty to do and see both inside the car and around the museum. Then after a good night’s sleep, we munched on muffins as we prepared to depart for our day around Galveston. Our thanks to David and everyone at the Galveston Railroad Museum for making our stay so wonderful! ##### Thomas H.

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to sleep on a train back in the good old days? Well, you can do exactly that at the Galveston Train Museum Rail Hotel.My family and I spent the night in the Historic Bonnie Brook Rail Car, a 1949 rail coach once used by Jackie Gleeson. The car has been renovated to serve as a private suite, allowing guests to eat, sleep, and dine like passengers used to do back in the golden era of railroads.Along with modern amenities like Wi-fi internet and a widescreen television, our suite also included complementary bottled water, a basket of muffins prepared by a local bakery, and a bag of saltwater taffy provided by a local confectionary.Best of all, the museum was located in mere walking distance of the downtown area, not only allowing easy access to local shops and eateries, but also to the cruise terminal. My family and I only needed to wake up and walk to our cruise ship.If you always dreamed of sleeping on a train, then this suite is perfect for you and/or your family. ##### Laura Lynn W.

Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric K. 6 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A classic stay in a vintage Pullman coach We arrived at the location, and we were greeted by staff and given information and a safety briefing. Justyn was very friendly and helpful. David provided us a written welcome. Very nice touch. The car was a classic built in 1949. We had 5 guests and it was very comfortable for all of us. We had a comfortable night. Nice touch of supplying shampoo and conditioner for each guest. Only thing to keep in mind is that the bedrooms and corridor are narrow and there are some tight spaces. The cars were built at a time when people took a carry-on bag, with the rest of the luggage in the baggage car. Nice to have smaller bags. We were given a nice convenient parking space. This experience reminded me of travelling with my parents and brother on Amtrak when younger. An overall great experience. ##### Eric K.

My family, ranging from 3 - 73, had a wonderful time! The train was fully furnished with everything we needed. The half baths in every bedroom was more than anyone could ask for! The 4 bedrooms allowed everyone privacy. The large seating area in the front was spacious! We had family fun time with everyone being comfortable! Our host, David, was exceptional! He greeted us when we arrived and someone was always available if we needed anything. We were in a fenced in area and our vehicles were close by with free parking. Staying in this rail car is an experience anyone will love! The location at the Strand is an added bonus! ##### Susan Z.

I made the reservations for the Bonnie Brook several months ago for Mardi Gras weekend, so we had a long time for the anticipation to build up and we were not disappointed! The 3 grandkids, all under 10, had never experienced a train before, let alone slept on one, and they had a blast. It was right there in the train yard, so we had access to all the trains to explore and the location, right on the Strand, couldn't be more perfect. The kitchen is small and not conducive to much cooking, but we didn't come to cook and the restaurants are all within walking distance. David and Justin were very welcoming and saw to our every need and the King Cake they provided was incredible (David, I need to know where you got it!). Thank you for a very memorable stay! ##### Treasa V.

We really enjoyed our stay, even though it was rainy. Touring around the museum and the various train cars was super fun. The grandkids (ages 4, 6, 7, 9) were over the moon with this 'surprise' overnight stay before we headed to our cruise. The staff were terrific. The pullman car was awesome. We knew it wouldn't be a spotless, newly built hotel room, but this made it all the more exciting to be in a venue from days gone past. ##### Eyeguy 2.
