Hotel overview
XO Hotels Van Gogh offers a colorful and straightforward stay in Amsterdam’s Museum District. Guests can enjoy comfortable, air-conditioned rooms equipped with practical amenities such as coffee machines and mini fridges, a rare find among European hotels. The location balances cultural immersion with tranquility, placing guests within walking distance of world-class attractions like the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum, while being far enough from downtown's hustle to ensure restful nights.
Breakfast is offered at an additional cost, and free Wi-Fi keeps travelers connected throughout their visit. Although the hotel doesn’t provide parking, a restaurant, or fitness facilities, its focus on clean, functional spaces and kid-friendly services suits families and culture seekers alike. A nearby supermarket adds convenience for longer stays or casual shopping during the visit.
Transport links are excellent, with trams and bus connections nearby, including direct airport access. The quiet neighborhood setting coupled with friendly staff recommendations often helps travelers explore the city’s vibrant food and cultural scenes beyond the typical tourist routes. Some rooms benefit from upgrades and spacious layouts, although noise levels may vary depending on the floor and proximity to streets or local schools.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I stayed for 2 nights for my first trip to Amsterdam and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff that first greeted us was very friendly and had a lot of recommendations for places to eat. Then I believe my room was upgraded because it was definitely bigger than in the photos. There was also a coffee machine and a mini fridge, amenities that are not always available in hotels in Europe as I would soon find out. It was also a convenient location near the museums, and close to downtown. It was far enough away from downtown that it felt peaceful at night time though. Also there is an Albert Heijn supermarket nearby which was a plus.”
“Pretty much what you expect for the price, the location was awesome and the rooms were decently clean but it felt quite cramped for 4 people. Take note that the TVs ain't smart, so don't expect to be watching YouTube or Netflix. Check in and check out process was smooth, and the rooms were cleaned every day. There is an elevator but the view from our room was horrendous.”
“Our family stay at Hotel Van Gogh was excellent. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the Museum District and steps away from the Van Gogh Museum. Access was incredibly easy: a direct connection from the airport (bus 397 drops you off very close), and having trams 2 and 12 right at our doorstep made exploring the city center so easy and fun. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable for the whole family. We also enjoyed the fresh and complete breakfast spread each morning. The staff was very helpful, and being so close to Vondelpark was a huge plus for our child. Highly recommended!!!”
“Don't stay in the first floor if you value your sleep, you will wake up at 6am from people walking, talking or doing anything else. It literally felt like there was no wall, could hear everything THAT well. Pillows were dirty with hairs and some kind of makup, and bathroom had hella hairs in it, but Im no germophobe so I could bear it. Service is extremely nice, you will feel welcome. Only giving 4 stars because the price is adequate and service is good.”
