Meininger Hotel Amsterdam City West

Location of the hotel is fantastic, away from all the busy streets of central Amsterdam, but with sloterdijk train station literally next door you can be in the heart of Amsterdam or schiphol airport within minutes. Booked a family room that easily sleeps four people and very clean. Seems to be a busy hotel, with a lot of noise that go on in to the early hours of the morning. Check in was simple, arrived around 11am and checked in within minutes. Unfortunately even tho our room was ready at 11am the guy on reception wouldn’t give us the room keys until 3pm. So not sure if they are really strict on the 3pm check in policy or just having a bad day. Even tho I have a couple of negative points about this hotel, I do still recommend it due to the location.

The reception staff is really pleasant, the room was well-organised, I had four towels in my room, and the atmosphere is stunning. There is also a guest kitchen where you can microwave food or make a quick meal if needed. In addition, it's only a 5-minute metro ride to Amsterdam Central, I 100% recommend this hotel.

Family of 5 and room was perfect! Two single beds and two lots of bunk beds. No clothes hanging space in room but we aren’t fussed and just ironed as we went if we needed to. Lots of mixed ages but everyone so friendly. Right next to train station with a Starbucks and a spar nearby to. Easy check in and great to sit and have a drink at bar whilst kids used games etc. No noise the first night, second night we could hear music and kids running through corridors, wouldn’t stop us staying again though.

We arrived and were happy as to location to public transport. Sadly though the Heating wasn’t working in the room and despite asking for help at reception, it took me to complain and demand someone come to my room immediately to fix the issue for us to be moved rooms and find out the heating was broken in the first room. We were then moved to a room at the other end of the same floor. It had a Dirty bathroom/shower curtains, drainage in all plug holes an issue. Rooms weren’t cleaned the entire 5 nights we stayed. NONE of the rooms are most definitely NOT Soundproof as I was woken by next doors hairdryer at 5am, then the next morning by the family’s kids. When I complained about this I was shown a new room on a different floor but when we were there you could hear the conversation of the people in the room next to us. Breakfast was a buffet with the only hot food being toast - NOT worth over €11 - you can get nicer food from the main streets of Amsterdam for similar prices. Honestly if you don’t care about being cold or food then it’s okay but it’s SERIOUSLY overpriced!!

I stayed at this hotel which was really close to Sloterdijk station(only 6 min to Central). I booked a single bedroom with private bathroom. Bed was comfortable. The AC wasn’t that strong, so that’s the only downside of my experience. I’d definitely come back.

Bad organization from hotel regarding the rooms, change of rooms without letting the guests know while putting personal belogings on Trash bags and take everything out of the room without permition,having breakfast included and not letting them have breakfast, Key Room cards not working, high reccepcionist, bad communication between workers. Not a pleasant Stay, whit problems from recepcion everyday. Breakfast was ok, good to enough to start your day, rooms were clean and bathroom was good. Location is pretty good, with train, metro and tram on a few meters. A big appreciacion to the egyptian reccepcionist (night auditor) for helping us with an health issue, he help us a lot. Big thanks to him.
