Located in the heart of Napa Valley's Town of Yountville and sitting on the original track that ran through the Napa Valley is the Newly Renovated Napa Valley Railway Inn. Walking distance to not one, not two, three, four, but now five of Thomas Keller's restaurants one of which is The French Laundry along with Wineries, Wine Bars, Shops and many other Michelin Star Restaurants. All Railcars have king beds (6 Railcars, 1 Caboose), the Station House Suite is a two room suite with a king size bed and a queen size bed. Mini Model Bakery located in one of our Cabooses is on property serving up specialty coffees along with baked goodies including one of Oprah's Favorite Things, The English Muffins. Top of the line bedding and linens will ensure a great nights sleep.

Perfect stay in the middle of Yountville! Our 3rd stay and we love the newly remodeled rooms. Very private and cute place to stay. You can leave your car in private free parking lot and walk all over Yountville. Very helpful and responsive owner/manager. Stay here!!!

Truthfully, I selected the Napa Valley Railway Inn because it was the most affordable option in the 4/5 star category in Yountville. It didn’t disappoint.
Located within walking distance of the most notable stops in town, the room was well-appointed and very clean. It offered plenty of towels, ample storage, extra seating, a comfortable bed, solid daily housekeeping, and in-room coffee maker. I’m painfully picky but was completely satisfied and would absolutely consider a future stay.
FYI…The room is cooled by a wall unit air conditioner. Hence there is a pronounced fan sound. I like white noise but that may be challenging if one prefers quiet. Speaking of the A/C it may have also masked outside noises. The inn consists of 2 long rows of repurposed rail cars which have a walkway in between. All room doors and outdoor seating is located on that walkway, so outside noise could possibly disturb with the A/C turned off.

My husband and I loved the accommodations and location of this inn. The room decor is smart and tasteful and the property is very well maintained. The location is convenient for access to restaurants and shops in Yountville, all within walking distance. The inn management assisted us in booking tastings and restaurants, and the recommendations were spot on. The mini Model cafe was a welcome and convenient addition and we had breakfast there during our visit. We enjoyed our stay immensely and plan to return!

We stay one night just 1 week after hotels in Napa became open because of COVID-19 quarantine. We stay in 2 bedroom room that is the only one is small house ( maybe railroad station) wheras all other rooms are real railroad cars. Hotel administration was nice and allowed us for earlier check in ( 2PM instead of 4PM). Main room has huge bed, small coffee maker, small refrigerator , and small TV. There is not any table but it had 2 not very stable chairs. Hotel is located in the center of Youtville, close to everything in Yountville. maybe that's is why it looks overpriced >400$ for one night... Hotel has car cafe where was very good pastry. Hotel looked very safe during COVID time.

The room, on initial inspection, was tidy but I lifted up a coaster to find a used plaster which was really not very nice. Otherwise, it was good. However, and this was a big disappointment, despite what it says on their website, the Model Bakery next door is *NOT* open daily from 7AM- 7PM. I was saddened not to be able to get a fix of coffee and pastries during the week as had been advertised on their website. An email to management was promptly replied to with apologies but I notice today the wrong times are still being promoted. To repeat, the cafe is CLOSED Monday to Thursday. The other problem was the noisy fridge right next to the bed, but this was fixed by simply unplugging it. Also, have hotels now stopped providing any freebies? No complimentary bottles of water? It's the little things that make the difference.

We went to the Napa area for our anniversary. Not our first visit by any means. We usually stay in downtown Napa but decided to give the Railway Inn a shot. Needless to say, we were not disappointed and would highly recommend if you are looking for a modest place to lie your head after a day of wine tasting. The beds were ultra comfortable with extra pillows. The bathroom was just the right size for 2 people...still, we usually took turns. The room had a TV (that I think my husband turned on once), 2 sitting chairs and wine glasses for a nightcap. It even had 2 chairs and a table outside the door to our room. We sat out there a few times for wine and breakfast. I think there were only a few other guests during the time we were there, so it was very quiet. One morning, Balloons Aloft were taking off from the parking lot behind the Inn. Very cool to see it up close (even though we have personally done the balloons before)! Very quaint, lots of other restaurants and tasting rooms within walking distance. A big plus is the Mini Model Cafe located in one of the cabooses, which serves up breakfast sandwiches, coffees, lattes, etc. We had something from here every morning except our last morning (I think it was closed). At any rate, we would highly recommend the Railway Inn to anyone visiting the area.

We stayed at the Railway Inn for our matriarchs 91st birthday. The rooms were very nice, exceptionally clean and the staff was attentive and catered to every request. The location is perfect and the model bakery is so convenient and their coffees and pastries are delicious. We absolutely loved the unique atmosphere and did I mention the location location location. Railway Inn is at the top of our list for “Things we love about Yountville”!

We had a nice time, except we never saw anyone that worked there the whole time we were there. We ended up helping others that didn't understand how to get their keys or which car they were in. Also, a new place behind the train cars had a wedding that went way into the wee hours with very loud music. Other than that it was just fine.

This was our first time staying here and we were extremely satisfied! The rooms, which are individual railroad cars, are set up so there is plenty of space and they are very clean. You are located right in downtown Yountville but the room is very quiet. Everything is right outside of your door. This is a great place to stay!!

Really enjoy this Inn. We were able to check in early, they text when your room is ready and give you the door code online. The rooms are very nice and clean. There is a spot outside your door to sit and have a glass of wine in the evening or coffee in the morning. Bouchon Bakery is half a block away for great coffee and pastries. It is convenient to lots of great dining and wine tasting. Only negative was the Model Bakery.
