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.

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.
