At this laid-back hostel on Sloterdijk Station's tracks, decommissioned Zürich–Rome sleeper carriages now contain 132 beds in three- and six-berth compartments (some female only). Compartments have washbasins; shared showers and toilets are in the corridors. Although it's outside the city centre, it's just a six-minute metro ride to Centraal Station. Breakfast costs €6.50.
One carriage serves as a common room/reception area; there's a sunny terrace in front of the carriages on the platform. Sloterdijk is on a direct 15-minute train service from Schiphol Airport.
