XO Hotels City Centre
Staying at XO Hotels City Centre in Amsterdam was a great experience overall. The location is unbeatable—right next to the metro station, making it super easy to get around the city and reach major attractions within minutes. The only minor downside was that our room required climbing a few stairs with luggage, which was a bit tricky when carrying heavy bags. But beyond that, everything else was excellent: clean rooms, friendly staff, comfortable beds, and a fantastic value for money. If you're not put off by a short staircase, I highly recommend this hotel. It’s perfect for travelers who prioritize convenience and a cozy urban stay.

XO Hotel Inner
We only stayed for one night, so we couldn’t fully assess everything, but overall it was a great experience. The hotel was spotless, and the room was surprisingly spacious—definitely more than expected. It’s located in a convenient area, just a short walk from the metro and close to all the main attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the value for money was excellent. Even with such a brief stay, I’d definitely consider returning if I ever come back to Amsterdam. Highly recommend this place for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.
Tribe Amsterdam City
This was hands down the most comfortable hotel I stayed at during my European trip. The place feels brand new, with spacious rooms that make you feel instantly relaxed. It’s just two tram stops from Amsterdam Central Station—get off at Nord, which is the final stop—and it’s only a 3-minute walk to the hotel. Perfectly located for a quiet escape from the busy city center while still being super accessible. Check-in was handled by MIKA, who was incredibly friendly and helpful. I’d actually had trouble exiting the station earlier, but he quickly explained that scanning the Eurostar QR code would solve it. When I left, I was nervous—but sure enough, one scan and I was through. Huge thanks to MIKA! The breakfast was exceptional too. That coffee? The milk foam was so rich and velvety, it might be the best cup I’ve had anywhere in Europe. I even tried making waffles myself—fun and delicious! The room’s tea and coffee station was well stocked with capsules, tea bags, and everything else you’d need, and they were always refilled promptly. If I ever return to Amsterdam, this hotel would be my top pick without hesitation.
Sonder Park House
The location was excellent—just a short walk from major attractions and perfect for exploring Amsterdam on foot. The room was clean, modern, and well-designed, making it a comfortable base for our stay. While housekeeping services are available for an additional fee, the space felt fresh and tidy throughout our visit. Overall, it’s a great choice for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing style.
Hotel Mai Amsterdam
I absolutely loved the vibe of this hotel! The lobby is a real highlight—especially that serene little tree right in the center, it creates such a peaceful atmosphere. The location is unbeatable; just steps from the canal and super close to all the main tourist spots. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like the unique hotel ID design—very memorable and stylish. It’s clear they put care into every detail. A fantastic stay with great value and a calming ambiance—I’d happily return!
Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht, by Hyatt
Staying at Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht was an absolute delight. The location couldn't be better—just steps away from the famous Nine Streets and surrounded by top attractions, making it perfect for exploring on foot. Being in the heart of the canal district, I highly recommend booking a river view room. Sitting by the window, watching the gentle flow of the canals and the charming architecture glide by, is pure relaxation. The hotel maintains excellent cleanliness and modern amenities throughout. The minibar is restocked daily and completely free—such a nice touch! Everything about this stay exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely return and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
The Posthoorn Amsterdam
A friend recommended this charming B&B, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Located in a classic canal house, the owner and his family live on the upper floors, while I stayed in a ground-floor room with a lovely canal view—quiet, intimate, and full of character. I was able to check in right upon arrival in the late morning, and the host kindly stored one of my suitcases during my short pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam—perfect for those traveling light. The room was cozy and well-appointed: a comfortable bed, a fully stocked bathroom, a small table with two chairs, and thoughtful extras like coffee, cream, and other daily comforts. Each morning, the host personally delivered breakfast to my room—fresh fruit, delicious croissants, rolls, a boiled egg, jams, butter, honey, and muesli. It was a delightful start to the day. I didn’t use the TV, so I can’t comment on that feature. The location couldn’t be better—steps from restaurants, shops, and all the major sights in central Amsterdam. Walking distance to everything makes exploring effortless. The host is also happy to offer personalized recommendations if you’re unsure where to go. One small tip: if visiting in summer, close the room-darkening curtains during the day, as the west-facing sunlight can heat up the room quickly. Overall, an exceptional stay with genuine hospitality and a wonderful home-away-from-home feel.
