Amsterdam Teleport Hotel

Overview of Amsterdam Teleport Hotel

Amsterdam Teleport Hotel stands out in Amsterdam for an unusual reason: its rooms double as a street art gallery. According to the hotel's official website, the property invited street artists from around the world to paint its rooms, so murals are part of the experience from the moment guests walk down the corridors. The hotel also describes a private city beach in front of the building where guests can chill out, and a resident hotel cat named Pepper who greets visitors during their stay.

The hotel is located at Heathrowstraat 3-5 in Geuzenveld-Slotermeer, part of the Nieuw-West district of Amsterdam, in the Noord-Holland province of the Netherlands. Traveloka's listing records 155 rooms spread over two floors, and the building has no lifts, a point worth noting for travellers with heavy luggage or limited mobility. The official website presents the property as sitting right between Amsterdam's city centre and Schiphol Airport, with free parking for guests and a short walk to Amsterdam Sloterdijk station.

What makes Amsterdam Teleport Hotel different from a standard city hotel is the sheer range of rooms. The official site lists 23 different room types, from budget dormitory beds to private studios, plus themed rooms such as a Cinema Room with its own home cinema and a Formula 1 suite with racing simulators. That variety makes the property popular with groups of friends, families, backpackers and travellers who want something more playful than a conventional hotel room.

Room Types at Amsterdam Teleport Hotel

The official website describes rooms ranging from budget shared options up to themed private rooms. The room names and configurations below are taken from the hotel's own rooms and dorms pages; the exact room categories offered for your dates are shown on the Traveloka booking page, and names there may differ slightly.

Dormitory Beds (Crash Zones)

The most budget-friendly way to stay is a bed in one of the mixed dormitories. The Mini Crash Zone is a four-person mixed dorm of around 20 square metres with lockers, toiletries and free WiFi, while the Mixed Crash Zone sleeps six in about 22 square metres and adds a kitchenette with microwave, coffee machine and kettle. Bathrooms in these dorms are shared with roommates, according to the official site.

Double Studio and Twin Studio

For couples and friends, the Double Studio has one king-size bed and the Twin Studio has two single beds, each in roughly 24 square metres with a private bathroom. The official site lists a desk, kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, hairdryer and toiletries in both. A Budget Twin Studio offers a similar layout with an external bathroom instead of an en-suite one.

Family and Four-Person Studios

The Budget Family Studio combines a king-size bed with a bunk bed in about 24 square metres, with a private bathroom and kitchenette. There is also a four-person studio with two single beds and a bunk bed and a private external bathroom, and a budget four-person studio with two double beds and an external private bathroom. These suit families or small groups who want to share a single room with basic self-catering equipment.

Group Rooms (Packs)

Larger groups can book a whole room together. The official site lists a Budget 4-Pack with two bunk beds in around 15 square metres, a Budget 8-Pack with four bunk beds in about 40 square metres and no window, and a Budget 10-Pack with five bunk beds in about 40 square metres. A Budget 8-Person Studio adds a game table, such as foosball, table tennis or air hockey, while a Budget 10-person room has bathroom facilities outside the room.

Themed Rooms

The themed rooms are the hotel's signature. The Cinema Room has a king bed and a home cinema with a projector, surround sound and a popcorn maker. The Game Bunker sleeps up to six on bunk beds and comes with a PlayStation 4 and a large flat-screen TV. The Party Room has six bunk beds and disco lights, and the Formula 1 Suite, at around 40 square metres, features an arcade-style setup with two racing seats, a PS4 and a private bar. Several themed rooms have no windows, so check the room description before you book if natural light matters to you.

Across the property, Traveloka's listing notes that bathrooms feature showers, complimentary toiletries and hairdryers, and that rooms include portable fans, blackout curtains and daily housekeeping. No rollaway or extra beds are available, so choose a room that already fits your whole group.

Safety features listed on Traveloka include a fire extinguisher, smoke detector and first aid kit.

Location and Getting There

Amsterdam Teleport Hotel sits in Nieuw-West on the western side of Amsterdam, a short walk from Amsterdam Sloterdijk station. The hotel's official directions say the walk from Sloterdijk takes about six minutes: exit at Orlyplein, turn left towards the Mercure hotel, cross at the pedestrian crossing and continue straight for around 200 metres. From Amsterdam Central Station, Intercity and Sprinter trains run to Sloterdijk, making the trip into the historic centre straightforward.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is about 15.6 km away, according to Traveloka's listing. The hotel's own directions recommend buying a train ticket from Schiphol to Amsterdam Sloterdijk and then following the same walking route. Travellers from Singapore can book flights to Amsterdam on Traveloka and plan a simple rail connection from the airport to the hotel.

• Sloterpark – about 1.8 km

Dining at and near Amsterdam Teleport Hotel

Amsterdam Teleport Hotel is not a full-service hotel when it comes to food. The hotel's own FAQ explains that breakfast is not served on site; instead, guests can use the hotel's vending machines or head to restaurants in the neighbourhood. Traveloka's listing records no on-site restaurants or bars. Many of the studios and group rooms include a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine and kettle, so preparing simple meals and drinks in your room is an easy option for longer stays.

For a proper meal out, Foodhallen at De Hallen is around 3.8 km away, roughly a five-minute drive from the hotel, according to Traveloka. Westergasfabriek Culture Park, about 2.1 km away, and Sloterpark, about 1.8 km away, are close enough for an evening stroll before or after a meal in the neighbourhood. If you want to plan your days around food tours, canal cruises or museum visits, browse things to do in Amsterdam on Traveloka before you travel.

Why Stay at Amsterdam Teleport Hotel

The main reason to choose Amsterdam Teleport Hotel is personality. It is not every hotel stay that lets you sleep in a room painted by an international street artist, watch a film in your own private cinema or race friends on simulators in a Formula 1-themed suite. Add a resident cat, a city beach outside the door and karaoke on site, and the hotel feels more like a playful base camp than a business hotel.

It is also practical for groups. With dormitory beds, family studios and rooms that sleep eight or ten together, friends and families can stay in the same room rather than splitting across several bookings. Kitchenettes in many rooms help keep costs down, free parking makes road trips simpler, and the station a few minutes away keeps the city centre and the airport within easy reach.

Who should think twice? Travellers who need a lift, an on-site restaurant or breakfast included may prefer a more conventional hotel, and light sleepers might choose a private studio over a dorm. If you want to weigh up alternatives in the same part of town, compare other hotels in Amsterdam on Traveloka.

Tips for Booking Amsterdam Teleport Hotel on Traveloka

1. Pick the right room for your group. Check bed configurations carefully, as no rollaway or extra beds are available.
2. Check for windows. Several themed and group rooms have no windows; read the room details if daylight matters.
3. Request the ground floor if needed. The building has no lifts, and the hotel's FAQ says ground-floor rooms can be requested in advance.
4. Plan your arrival time. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. The hotel says early check-in may be possible, and late check-out is subject to availability for a fee.
5. Bring ID and a deposit. Government-issued photo ID and a cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges.
6. Budget for local tax. A city/local tax is charged at the property and may not be included in the room rate.
7. Travelling with a pet? Pets are only allowed in specific rooms, so contact the property using the details on your booking confirmation.
8. Reserve parking. If you are driving, email the hotel with your licence plate to reserve a free parking spot, as spaces are limited.
