Perfect location, its a short walk to everywhere. However, the noise is too loud from Room 12. It was hard to sleep. The bed could be better quality However, Everything else is perfect.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were nice and friendly and the room was decent. Room service kept taking my towel, so I’d have to request a new one at reception daily.
I could also constantly hear people above walking around, and doors being slammed. Made it hard to relax at times; but the experience was ok.
We arrived late and were allocated a family room on the ground floor. We couldn’t easily find the room so needed a member of the reception staff to help. They also found it difficult to find the room and while they figured it out swore repeatedly and kept saying they ‘fu**ing hate this hotel’ We eventually found the room and entered. It was tucked right at the other end of the hotel. The window is at street level and revellers used the outside window ledge to sit and talk late into the night. We expected some outside noise given the location but this extreme.
On the plus side, the room was fairly clean. Nice beds and bedding, great shower. Coffee machine & TV all there. Just grubby carpets and walls tatty.
The breakfast was pretty good, chilled out and well stocked. Friendly staff.
The location is very central.
As a family, I wouldn’t recommend it - unless proximity to the station is a priority as it was for us.
For a group of four party-goers it would be a good option and reasonably priced.
Great Stay – Clean, Convenient, and Affordable
The hotel was very clean and perfectly located—close to the train station and city center. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Excellent value for the price. I would definitely stay here again!
Front desk staff was very friendly and professional. Rooms and bathroom were nice and clean and with 4 beds, perfect for our family to stay in one room.
The breakfast was fresh and delicious with a great assortment of choices and delicious coffee options and the woman who runs it
A perfect location for the first-time visitor to Amsterdam. The hotel is well maintained, the staff are friendly and helpful. In addition, the rooms are very comfortable and decently sized by European standards. I would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location for everything we wanted to do. Only issue I had with it is definitely not a place for a single woman to walk back to in the night. Many men that were aggressive lingering around. But the hotel was great and the staff was so helpful and good
Super welcoming and friendly staff that did their best accommodating our stay!
When we came in they noticed we had lots of luggage and they went out of their way to get us a room that didn’t require a lot of walking up the stairs to make it easier for us and we didn’t even request this but they did it anyways!
They answered all our questions and concerns with a very friendly smile!
We had a clean room with AC available here. No complaints :)
Check out was also super simple and amazing.
We will definitely book here again in the future!
If we visit Amsterdam again we’ll definitely be returning to stay at the XO hotel - purely for the location alone!! We were right in the middle of the shopping area with the bars and red light on our doorstep so it was super easy getting off the train and a tiny walk to our hotel and sight seeing. The room was clean and the lobby had nice seats to hang out with friends. One particular guy on reception was really blunt and rude when we phoned to ask some questions about checking in but the staff we saw in person were helpful and friendly. No hairdryer in the room as advertised but I’m sure they would have got one if I asked. Could do with a mini fridge, some coat hooks and better lighting in the room but the bathroom was well lit and a good size and clean.
Fair prices for the rooms so we’re really pleased.
We stayed at XO Hotel for a couple nights recently on a trip to Amsterdam with my friend. We chose this hotel for its convenient location as it was walking distance to all the sites. We didn’t have breakfast included for our stay but had breakfast locally each morning and there were lots of places to choose from. We had a twin room which was a really good size and very clean. The weather was really warm in Amsterdam during our stay so we were glad our room had free air con. The hotel is on the periphery of the Red Light District but was very safe and not loud. My only criticisms would be that the lighting in the room was quite dark especially around the mirror in the bedroom, there was no fridge and also there was not a great selection of drinks and milk for the coffee machine - but having the machine none the less was a nice touch. The staff on the front desk were friendly and we got discount vouchers for some of the places to visit or restaurants. I would stay here again if I revisited Amsterdam.
