I liked the concept of staying in a trailer or train car, although my friend and I found it to bit cramped and not so practical at times. It took us a while to find the ladder which could be used to climb into the top bunk, and then even longer to find where to stand it in order to climb into it. We both slept well and enjoyed the buffet breakfast, and had a pleasant stay overall.

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.

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.
