This is by far the best transit option in the capital district. Clean facility and very easy to get to and from. Try to arrange a ride though, the cab prices are ridiculous.

Tim Sleath

The station is nice and the coffee beanery has a decent selection of sandwiches , yoghurts , muffins etc for the long train journey north.

Karl Warren

Great cafe Across the street. This station is a true hub for train travel. Needs some expanding service. .. high speed could serve here easily.

Tim Perry

This is usually ranked among the top 10 busiest stations in the Amtrak system. All trains go to & from Penn Station except the Boston portions of the Lake Shore Limited, trains 448 and 449.

Had a great experience there. Jose Sosa was great in helping us get to New York before our scheduled trains . He went above and beyond in helping us with the NJ Transit as well . Everyone was very nice.

Jet Black

Don’t make enough eye contact. Look straight ahead.

Peter Olesen Lund

The Lake Shore Limited. West bound the 49 of NYC and the 449 of Boston join as one on to Chicago, IL. East bound the 48 separates here ending at NYC and the 448 ends at Boston.

Carl Figueiredo

Easy station to get in and out of with access up and down the Hudson River . Very helpful staff .

Courtney R.

When headed to NYC, grab a seat on the right side of the train to enjoy great views of the Hudson River ! Very pretty!

eric bornemann

Arrive early and stand in a semi-pointless and annoying line - but it’s the only way to guarantee a seat back to NYC. Look for trains that originate here.. otherwise you’ll be waiting a loooong time.

Jason Mesiarik

Avoid the taxis - cash only and they'll double and triple the fares with shared rides - ripoff city !

Jack Warner

Enterprise car rental spots are on your way out of the station parking lot on the right

Ben Martin

Just enough time to hit the usually clean bathrooms and grab a to go meal that's better than what is available in the cafe car .

Aaron

Great place to watch the sunset !

Sarah Carknard

Boston papers and watching trains go by=two of my favorite things in one place ????????????????

Scott P. Tabor

The train to NYP Station departs out of Gate C and a line will form in anticipation. Save yourself the wait-in-line by using Gate D to board the departing train to NYP Station.

Richard Pearson-Strain

Sit to the right of you are heading to points south (eg NYC) from Albany for some excellent views of our might Hudson River

Kris Minkstein

By no means a wine snob, but could really go for something besides Sutter Home from the Cafe . #werenotincollegeanymore #drinkinitanyway

Amy Hyde

White business men are the meanest and have no hearts. They push asian women with injuries just to get a good seat. Is it worth it? Do you have wives? Is this how you treat them?

Rose Park

Hilton Albany offers a free shuttle service if you have reservations . Just give them a call when your train arrives.

E S

The ambiance of the parking garage is similar to that of the Enchanted Tiki Room.

Liliana Martinez

Ask for the price of the taxi before leaving the terminal, paid more for a 7 minute ride in Albany, than from JFK to manhattan

Bob Reim

Visitor will be traveling from Albany to NYC Sunday noon; are reservations needed?

Janis Rink

Surprised to see the parking lot is not clean , trudging through snow to get to the car!

Michael McDermott

Get the muffins or pound cake at the coffee shop

Steve Dietrich

Probably the cleanest train station I've been to.

Philip Mazzotti

Watch out for the random TSA checkpoint. You'll be delayed about 5 min and potentially miss your train when you don't allocate time for it.

Bonnie Bish

The Canadians were quarantined in their own train car. Now the Americans are eyeing their seats

Lisa Sarwar

Love this place, brings back memories ????????

David Grapka

Arrive early to be at the front of the coffee lines !

Kevin Donelson

Go across the parking lot for some drinks and food. It's called June Bugs . It's heavenly.

Shawn Mahoney

The coffee place inside is good!

Peter Olesen Lund

One train now two, 48 to NYC, 448 to Boston. And, running late today.

Amy Hyde

Don't waste your money on coffee at the cafe station ... Dunkin Donuts is down the road

Nancy Kelly

Son of Egg Korean takeout on Broadway.

Billy Kidd

Say hi to Khai and Karen Gibbs for me.

Philip Mazzotti

Try the chili . Best in the... station.

Duy Bui

Use the fire station parking if there's a spot. Otherwise parking garage is underneath the overpass.

Ta ta for now #wanderlust

patrick ruster

Much preferred over the experience at the bus station .

Kayle Light

Train switches engines to pick up a cafe car sometimes. Nows your chance to get a overpriced cold hot dog !

Gregg Twergo

Use the quik-trak, so much faster

K T

Great fun station... Great alternative for Albany to NYC commute...

Samantha Sargent

It's so nice like an airplane! It has the little pullout tables

Kelani Cummings
