Description

BaseCamp Bonn is a two-star accommodation offering a distinctly unconventional stay in Bonn. The hotel features unique lodging options including beds in dormitories, standard single and double rooms, and notably, rooms inside converted train carriages and trailers. Guests often highlight the quirky atmosphere created by these unusual sleeping quarters. The property provides several shared facilities such as a games room, children’s playground, and a garden with a terrace for relaxation. Free amenities include WiFi, bike rentals, and parking, supporting a practical and budget-friendly stay. Breakfast is served daily with a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. The staff is consistently praised for friendliness and helpfulness, creating a welcoming environment despite the somewhat compact room sizes. While some guests find the train carriage rooms small and occasionally noisy, others appreciate the privacy these units offer compared to standard hostel dorms. BaseCamp Bonn attracts travelers seeking an adventurous and memorable experience rather than conventional hotel luxury.

Location

BaseCamp Bonn is situated at In d. Raste 1, within the city of Bonn, Germany. It is conveniently located approximately 19 km from Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN), making it accessible for air travelers. The hotel lies a short distance from several local restaurants including Greenfield Lounge (190 m), Ginyuu Bonn Ollenhauerstraße (318 m), and Apeiron Restaurant & Retail Management AG (358 m). For outdoor leisure, the nearest beach area, Badestelle Siegfähre, is about 6.3 km away. The hotel provides easy access to Bonn city center via tram or regional trains, facilitating exploration of local landmarks and cultural sites.

Tips

  • If you prefer a quieter stay, consider booking one of the trailers rather than the train carriage rooms, as the latter can be small and noisy.

This place is out of this world. I got assigned a small private room with a bed in an actual dismissed night train coach, parked in the middle of this massive indoor camping facility with Trabants and other veichles you don't get to see everyday. I would pay to see this place if it was a museum, think about being able to spend a few nights in it. Good job guys, this is one of the 7 wonders of the world in my opinion!

Very funky place with lots of details and extremely nice vibes. Nice concept if you are up for an adventure and out of the norm experience!

So, a lot of things are quite good, but for the price, it's a bit of a joke. 40 euros a night for a 3-square-meter room with a shared shower outside the center, while hearing every noise from the next room (and thus not being able to sleep for half the night because other guests had a drunken night), I find it a little disappointing.
But otherwise, the staff is super friendly and helpful, which almost makes up for it.

Basecamp is a unique facility and certainly worth a visit. Unfortunately, the campers that are for rent seem to need a general overhaul. Right now at least the one we used was neither really clean nor in a good shape otherwise. E. g. door of fridges were closed with duck tape, light switches, too. Wardrobes were quite dusty inside, overall a bit shabby. For 130 Euro a night (including breakfast, 3 persons in one camper) I would have expected more. I also felt that because of this, the full potential of the place is not used. Shared toilets were not really cleaned often enough during the day and there was a strong urine smell in the men's toilet. Breakfast was excellt and despite the mentioned negative experiences I would come back. Just for the fun of it.

The hostel with the camping style of beds and rooms is quite nice, and it gives a feel of camping

Great hostel, looks funny and the facilities are great. Everything is super clean, and the rooms are quite good. A lot of privacy for a hostel as when you sleep in the train you are in a two man 'room'. Provides you come here with a friend you basically have a twin room. Friendly staff and well connected to Bonn centre via U-Bahn or Regionalbahn.

One of the most unique accomodation’s I’ve ever stayed at.
I did not know what to expect but had been eyeing the BaseCamp on previous trips to Bonn. This time I tried it and will come back for sure! Everything is very clean, the old train wagon and trailers in good shape and the breakfast a good buffet selection (including vegan and vegetarian options).

Somewhere different
Excellent stay at somewhere different. Very clean in the railway carriage and shared bathroom was spotless. Good breakfast also served but no hot options.
