It’s very close to two tram lines so you can get to the center of Amsterdam in aprox 30 minutes. However the walls in the room were dirty, the mattress is old and the comforter had hairs when we got there. Will try somewhere else next time.

First night in the room was good, was clean and in a good location. Was not happy when on 2 of the days we was woken up by very loud drilling above our room that went on for hours, with no warning there would be any kind of work done. No consideration for the comfort of paying guests I believe no one should’ve been booked into any of the rooms around that area so was overall disappointed.

Far from Amsterdam central but good for the price and the rooms were clean but beds not that comfy. Couldn’t open our windows which was annoying but very handy having vending machines and coffee for snacks.

Everyone who worked there was super nice and extremely helpful with a lot of questions. My only complaints were with housekeeping staff. They would start cleaning rooms super early in the morning, and they were always extremely loud. They were constantly talking to other coworkers very loud, and made a lot of noise carrying things/cleaning other rooms. Interrupted sleep effected my plans on my vacation. The one day I did not have the sign up so that they could clean, I still had trash on the floor, and they did not change the bedding. While I understand this is a big hotel and they have to start early to clean rooms, they should also be more considerate with how loud they talk in hallways regardless.

The hotel was in an ideal location for transport, with multiple transports being within a couple minutes walk with many options for food in the nearby area, all staff were extremely friendly and were ready to help at a moments notice. However the coffee machine in our room leaked water when we used it, and we found food under our beds when we arrived as if the room had not been cleaned properly.

we had a great time here, the room was great and had a nice tv with some british channels, the shower was good and everything was pretty clean. We got a ground floor room but it wasnt even that noisy so we werent fussed. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the tram stop and it takes about 30 mins to get into the centre! u can just tap ur card on the tram as well. Overall we had a great time !!

We went to a festival which was excellent. Where we stayed was in a great location as it was only 15 mins in an uber. Would definitely stay again.

The staff and rooms were great and thats where the good kind of ends. The internet was non existent here, SO SLOW. We spent so much money on cabs/ubers to get down town. It would have made more sense to splash out a bit more $$ to stay central in the action and save on transportation. Unless youre comfortable using public transportation/biking or prefer to be out of the way, I would stay closer, especially if your whole reason for travelling here is to explore and be touristy.

The staff were exremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, especially regarding questions about public transportation and area attractions. The beds were comfortable, but our room had a pillar running floor to ceiling, which was a bit inconvenient. The breakfast was good, with a varied selection of protein and carbohydrate options. The location is also close to public transportation and supermarkets. There is also an open air market nearby that operated each of the five days we stayed at XO Blue Square.

Our stay was so much more pleasant than expexted given some of the other reviews. The hotel is clean, with decent sized twin rooms, and all the staff we came into contact with could not have been more helpful. Slightly out of town, but with excellent tram and bus links to the centre and the airport. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Amsterdam.

Another great stay here :)
2nd stay at this hotel and everything was great again: comfy beds, clean and with great transport links to central. My only complaint this time around would be that our room was right next to a building site. Of course this isn’t the hotel’s fault but the noise of the construction did wake us up quite early.
