You might guess that a hotel with a name like the A-Train Hotel might be near the train station, and you'd be right. In Amsterdam, the A-Train is right across from Centraal Station, which gets it a high score on the convenience scale. But not only is it near the train, it also has a train theme, and is also proud to say that "no two rooms are alike".

In the reception and lounge areas, all the seats look like they were taken directly out of trains, and some even have luggage racks above them. In the rooms, thankfully, they have left beds (rather than turning them into sleeping cars from trains), and you can choose from a single room all the way through to a five-bed apartment suite.

Room rates for a double start from 89 Euros ($121) in low season and rise as high as 169 Euros ($230) in the peak season; a 5-bed apartment goes for as much as 300 Euros ($410) in high season. While the rooms look reasonably small, the location is excellent both for arriving in Amsterdam and for getting around when you're sightseeing. And it's perfectly themed to suit your big Eurail train trip.
