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.

bad hotel!!!💩💩💩 dont go i had a rat in my room the food was sooooiooo badddddd my family and me were so disappointed with the room there was no bed for my child he had to sleep on the floor?😡😡 not good at all dont gooo!!!!!! there are no windows in the room

We enjoyed our stay at Meininger Amsterdam West. The location is superb being a two minute walk to the train and bus station. You can get to Amsterdam Centraal via Sprinter in six minutes. You can also easily get to Haarlem and Zaanse Schans via train. Alternatively, if you have the Iamsterdam pass, you can take GVB bus 22 (25 minutes) to Centraal. Also, you can take GVB Metro 50/51 to Leylylaan; transfer to GVB tram 1 to get to Rijksmuseum or GVB tram 17 to get to the Jordaan district and Anne Frank House. Note: All GVB routes are covered with the pass. We stayed in the family room there were two single beds pushed together to form a double. The children stayed in bunk beds. The room and bedding were very clean. Cleaning service must be made by request from the front desk at least 24 hours in advance. Check in is at 3 p.m. You can rent lockers to store luggage if you arrive early and want to get into the city. There is free filtered water in the lobby to fill up bottles.

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!!
