Hotel Slotania is a clean hotel with a decent sized, continental sort of breakfast offered free of change. The rooms are well-kept, clean and free of vermin and insects. There is an Aldi's right across the street, which was quite convenient for getting cheap drinks and snacks for the trip.
The location is a bit out of the city, but several buses and trams stop right across the street that can take you directly to Centraal Station, the Dam, the Red Light District, Anne Frank's House and to t

Mixed feelings on this one. The common rooms were always busy and we met a lot of great people while staying here (2 nights). The rooms sucked and were WAY too cramped, and I found one of the staff members scary, he stalked us after we tried to smoke pot in the stairwell. It can really get expensive taking the busses/trams into Amsterdam. The free breakfast was good.

We really would not recommend this place to anyone. We stayed for 1 night on our way from the US to Greece because I read a review that said it was conveniently located for getting to and from the airport- not at all true! Sure, you can get there without going to Central Station, but the bus takes an hour each way and good luck finding someone who can accurately tell you where to catch it! Also Hotel Slotania is not especially well located for getting downtown and to tourist sights. The staff wa

Far from the centre, noisy, may have some confusion with your reservation! But yes, it's cheap...

I had a terrible stay in Hostl Slotania. From the minute I arrived, I was told two lies: 1) that there was only an elevator on the 1st floor, so had to lug my suitcase upstairs only to discover that the elevator did, indeed, start at ground 0 2) that my stay did NOT include free breakfast, which, I discovered one day later, that there was, indeed, free breakfast available but that the hotel receptionists simply lied to diminish the number of guests eating their food. The hostel wreaks of pot and

The bus rides to slotania can get exspensive so buy a weekend or 2 day bus pass at the visitor center right outside of the Central station. Staff was friendly, the free breakfast sucked. But other than that I enjoyed my stay. I would give the hotel like a A-.

Book this place as a last resort.. Very far from the main attractions but easy to get to the bus station. Unsafe the staff accidently sold the room to two groups of seven so we had a group walk in on us. You have to take the 22 towards the Main station . The name appears as hostel slotania but its really called Hotel Neu Slotania

It was a nice stay for me, I found it clean and the staff was helpful. Just like all the other people who submitted reviews, I too think the hotel is a little too far away from the centre, and that means €2,40 per each commute to the centre (one way).

The hostel is not right in the centre of the city, but I found it as an advantage. The bus and tram connections were pretty good and cheap, so it wasn't a problem to get wherever we wanted in 15 minutes. If I go to Amsterdam again, I would definitely choose Hotel Slotania again.
