Breakfast was poor and the surrounding not pleasant in the late evening. The hotel itself quite ok.

I've tayed here a few times. Great self service check in and friendly receptionists. Clean hotel with daily housekeeping if needed. Spacious room with comfortable bed. Nice sized bathroom with nice rain shower and toiletries provided. Slightly disappointing new coffee maker. It's very slow and only fills your cup about 200mls. You have to stand there and keep pressing the button to fill your cup for a decent size cup.of tea or coffee. Only 1 english breakfast t bag for a four night stay. I'm sure I could have gotten more from reception but I had my own. Very expensive bicycle rental at €18 a day. There's cheaper place in town. Tram stop 5 minutes either way to bring you to the city centre. Lots of shops bars and cafes in the area.

Excellent customer service from all the staff. Everyone was welcoming and helpful.
Great breakfast.
Clean, tidy, and warm rooms.

Rooms were spacious and had great night sleeps.
Would definately stay again

Easy booking process, friendly staff that went above & beyond to help us run a power cord for our electric scooter. The only thing I would like to see improvement on is the free 0 euro privacy add-on. We enabled this for eco-saving and privacy of our belongings and still we noticed our towels were folded and moved

Have stayed at this hotel a few times and found the hotel well presented, helpful and pleasant staff and a great location slightly outside of the City Centre.
Rooms come with a pod coffee machine along with milk, sugar and pods. Fridge is also useful for keeping drinks and food cool.
Bathroom was well equipped with shampoo conditioner etc and a lovely overhead shower.

Great location, very close to everything but not quite in the chaos. Train/metro stations an easy 5 min walk.
Clean and tidy, fairly new bathroom, good hot shower. Staff helpful, always someone on the desk even returning after midnight.
Lift a bonus as stairs are steep in line with old Amsterdam.
Single bed mattress did slide off its solid base which was annoying.
I didn't suffer any noise after midnight Tue to Thurs nights.

We were greeted by Igor/Ivan? Sorry, we know his name is one of these! He was so friendly and helpful! He stored our luggage in a secure closet so we could explore since we were there so early. When we came back he had a room for us (1 hour earlier than check in) and it was delightful. We had our own private courtyard complete with colorful balls kicked in from the local elementary school! The lady in the breakfast room was lovely and very conscientious. We loved the coffee machine! Great selection of food items for breakfast. The room and hotel was very clean. The chambermaid was so gracious as we didn’t need cleaning everyday so she gave us trash bags so we could drop off our trash for her to pickup. Everyone at the front desk was so friendly and helpful and we appreciated all of the suggestions and information. The location was perfect since we are both art lovers and being across the street from multiple museums was just heavenly! This was our first visit to Amsterdam and we were quite pleased with our visit. Hope to visit again!

★☆☆☆☆ Extremely Poor Customer Service
Very disappointing experience at XO Blue Square Hotel Amsterdam. My wife, 15-month-old daughter, and I arrived at 8 AM after a long international flight. We repeatedly requested assistance for early check-in due to our exhausted infant, but the reception staff, particularly Cristina, showed no empathy and kept us waiting for hours.
After making us wait until around 1 PM, they demanded an additional €20 for early check-in. The attitude of the staff was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. We felt humiliated, mentally stressed, and completely ignored despite traveling with a small child.
Hospitality is not just about policies—it is about treating guests with respect and compassion. Unfortunately, this hotel failed badly in that regard. I would not recommend this hotel to families with young children.

The only good thing about this place is the location. We stayed 3 nights and couldn't wait to leave.
The hotel itself is more like a 2 star, the rooms and bathrooms are not clean. The floors have not been vacuumed in a very long time. I saw the cleaner leave clean towels on the corridor floor before changing out the room.
Some of the staff are not helpful. The vending machine fives a small bottle of water for €3.50.

Good stay in Amsterdam, very good connection to public transport. P+R park garage right next to the hotel, spacious room and friendly staff. Clean, only the bathtub looks old.

Reply from XO HOTELS AMSTERDAM
Staff were helpful and friendly! Rooms are a good size and nicely cleaned. Staff even gave us advice on transport links and things to do in the city!. 10/10 service

Everything was great starting with online booking, parking and check-in/out experience. We were attending a concert at arena, so the location was perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room itself was nice, big and cozy. We loved the coffee machine with every little things included. The only problem was poorly working AC unit

The hotel is close to one of the main station of the city, allowing to visit Amsterdam and the surrounding cities easily. The room I rented was small but cosy. The hotel is quiet and the cleaning service is good. The staff at the reception counter is helpfull and welcoming.
The only flaw is not having any major service (supermarket, bar, restaurant) close, but I already knew that before booking.
