Den Haag Centraal is a modern railway station, serving The Hague centre, with connections to the…read morerailway, HTM trams and the Rotterdam Metro. The largest terminal station in the Netherlands, with easy connections to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Schipol. The station opened in the 1970s yet feels fresh and modern, with the recent renovation that was completed in 2017. Unlike most train stations in the Netherlands, you are able to get to most of the shops without a ticket or OV-chipkaart to pass through, the layout in terms of separating the shops and platforms is much more thought out here. There is a Starbucks inside the station with a small seating area, as well as a SPAR just outside the station, perfect for picking up essentials ahead of your trip. Easy to get around the station, and then exit towards the exciting The Hague Center. I would have expected more seats outside of the businesses inside the station, to sit while waiting for the train. 4*

A few years ago, some friends moved to The Netherlands, and they live in Leiden, so we have…read moreutilized this train station to see them when visiting. It is convenient to their home (not a far walk). If you visit Leiden, it is close to the medical center and university. Tons of trains arrive and leave here, so we never had to wait for very long for the train we needed. Dutch trains are very much on time, unlike Germany! If you need a snack or drink, there's a small Albert Heijn and a Backwerk on the lower level, as well as kiosks on the platforms where the trains are. Toilets in the train station do cost so have some euros for that.

The digital directory screen was very easy to follow once we looked online to see which train we needed. There are intercity trains and sprinter trains which are slower or quicker because of the number of stops I think. We needed the 11:13 train on platform 5a to Uitgeest. We were t hungry yet but if we had been, the station has multiple places to buy pastries or snacks for travel. We only had to wait on the platform for about 15 minutes. The seats were comfortable and had options for 2 together or 4 facing each other for families. The ride was very smooth with only 2 stops before ours. You tap out at the platform of arrival at a little tap screen about waist height there.

Very large and a bit daunting for someone new to train travel.

Platforms are outside, which is not ideal during the worst heat wave in Amsterdam history.

This is a beautiful station. Not sure how anyone can give it fewer than 5-stars…read more It's been completely rebuilt after a multi-year, brutal project. But it's BEAUTIFUL. It may not look like "old Netherlands" but it's so pretty inside and out. They also have the old station next door and it's a restaurant - so they preserved the history. A beautiful ceiling mural - relief - represents Delft, not too big and very clean. Bathroom didn't have hand soap - which sucks when you have to pay for the toilet! The headliner here is their bicycle (fiets) parking garage. It's amazing and HUGE. It's worth checking out if you're ever in town. They also have the rental OV-Fiets if you have the NS Rail subscription card (need a local bank account).

There are no signs (at least none of us could see it) to tell you which train is heading where. There is no luggage storage. And worst of all, the staff at the info desk is not helpful at all. They're rude and dismissive, just in general, don't care. In Netherlands, either people are very friendly and helpful, or the other extreme end who are totally dicks. I found that quite interesting, and the staff at this station belong to the latter category. There's one convenient store here located outside of the gate, same as the info desk, so you would need to card out to have access to it. Don't plan on storing your luggage here because there is no locker. Do it in Rotterdam. Tons of bikes right outside the station which can make quite a scene! By the way Gouda is pronounced as GAO-dah with a hard G like something is lodged in your throat and you're about to choke. The Dutch guy at the cheese weighing station was not happy when I said it in the foreigner way...

The way the station is set up there is only one passageway to and from the platforms and so depending on which end of the train you're on you might have to walk the entire length of the train just to get to the exit stairs.
