Meininger Hotel Amsterdam City West

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!!

This was the cleanest and most professional hostel i’ve ever stayed in. Theres a wonderful bar downstairs where we got coffee every morning and even a little store to buy essentials and snacks. Getting into the city center was pretty easy using the Sprinter because the train station is only a two minute walk away.

Amazing hostel!! Check in was super easy and they accommodated to putting me and all my friends together in the same room. Everything is super clean and the coffee is great. Location is also super convient to public transportation to explore!

Hi Guys would like to share experience ofour stay at Meiningerin Amsterdam it was very good the Hotel room was clean and Bathroom was alsobig enough and spacious not clumsy.We were 4 people staying in 1 room it had 1 double bed and 1 Bunk bed. Location is also good close to Sloterjik station and centraal is also just 1 stop away. Their kitchen is on ground floor was quiet good with all amenities required in it specially Refrigerator which helped us store our food. The place is lively as they have Bar down where you can hang around after you come from sightseeing. Thank you and will surelyrecommed this place.

I stayed in a 6 bed room with friends for one night. The room was very spacious and clean. I liked that the toilet, sink and shower are all separate so we all had space to get ready. The hotel is very easy to find, next door to the train station. There is also a small supermarket close by which has a bakery. Central station is only one stop away so very easy to get in and out of the city. I would stay here again

Our family of 8 booked 3 nights at Meininger Amsterdam from 31st May to 3rd June thru ***********. Upon check-in we had to pay for the 3 nights in advance. That is when the we saw signs that choosing this hotel was a bad decision. First, we were told that the main elevators were broken and we would have to use the other elevators which is at the far end of the property. We had to lug our large suitcases up a small flight of stairs and walk quite a distance just to get to the elevators. We passed big groups of young travellers chilling around, there was even a few dudes lying on the floor near the elevator, enjoying some snacks while listening to music. Typical dorm/hostel ambience?? Definitely not the kind of atmosphere i was expecting. Our 6-person room was poorly cleaned - there were some kind of beads all over the floor, and no towels. We tried to get some clean towels from the nearby cleaning dude, and got yelled at. I'm not sure is this is the international atmosphere that they are advertising. Feels more like a prison atmosphere to me. This is a through and through backpackers hostel and if you're looking for a decent stay, take my advice and stay elsewhere. Luckily i found a much more decent place - Mercure hotel just across the road for less! I checked with Meininger customer service (reception was useless) that i would be able to get my refund for the 2 nights i will not be staying (see attached pics) and hurriedly move to the other hotel. Guess what? When i didn't receive news on my refund and checked with them again, they said it was a communication error on their part and i am not going to get a refund for the nights i did not stay!

Marco is amazing, he was the best bartender I’ve ever had. He is so nice and handsome. I really liked the drinks at the bar, there was a wide variety. The shot of the day was such a deal. Only 2.50 per shot!

Rooms were clean, transport into centraal is really good and convenient on both the tram and the train. But this is a hostel and we thought it was a hotel. Kinda our bad but we’ve stayed at this hotel chain before and it was a hotel. It’s huge so a real mix of people which is nice but I did wake up in the night several times to the sound of someone vomiting
