Hotel very near the train station,[Sloterdijk] and the trams to the center stop right outside. Take the tram to town, or go to Sloterdijk and take the train to town. Go to see the windmills and clog making at Zaanse Schans ,only two station stops away. Supermarket only 2min away
Staff at hotel very helpful and polite---nothing too much trouble.Room had fridge and coffee machine. Free Wi-Fi. Would go back,no trouble.

stayed here once in July 2016 and again in July 2019. great hotel, ideal location for getting to and from the airport as on my second trip I was only in Amsterdam for 24 hours so it wasn't too far by train from Schiphol. would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive but quality accommodation that isn't right in the city centre.
After a cordial exchange of several emails with management from XO Hotels Park West, the hotel refused to refund my non-refundable payment for a one night stay.
My family was planning to travel to Europe next week for spring holiday. Since we're now prohibited from traveling to Europe due to COVID-19 restrictions, we had to cancel a number of flights, hotels, excursions, etc. Many of these were non-refundable. ALL of the travel companies issued me a full refund despite several of them being non-refundable, EXCEPT this hotel.
Here is what the explanation was from hotel management:
"Covid-19 is already hitting the travel industry hard, but if everyone would receive a refund from all hotels in the world, how would any hotel survive?"
Yes, it is absolutely hitting the travel industry hard. It is also hitting other industries and families hard, as well. Government support is also likely for industries severely impacted by the pandemic. So why are you the only travel operator that is not refunding customers when it is impossible for them to travel to your hotel?
Well, just this past May 2019, the Netherlands travel board said the country is challenged with too many tourists. A headline from The Guardian last May said "'We must act now': Netherlands tries to control tourism boom."
What have you done with all of your profits from this tourism boom?
Very nice hotel in a quiet suberb of Amsterdam.
There is a tram station next to the hotel so you can go everywhere without car.
The rooms are warm and clean and the staff is very friendly.
If you want a peaceful hotel,that's the place.
Staff was very friendly and even upgraded my room due to a problem which occurred on booking.com
Room was big and very clean
Only downside was the omelette i had from the hotel restaurant. The quality was poor
Room was ready early despite the fact I had ordered to romantic package. This was very helpful as the romantic package must have taken a LONG time to put all the detail on. The room (a Comfort double) was spacious, clean and nicely finished. The bathroom and shower were HUGE and the shower is really nice. The bed was very comfy although the pillows were a tad high and my neck hurt a bit after the first night. Tram stop right outside and very close to Sloterdijk station for more mainline stations. Staff were really friendly and overall I couldnt recommend this hotel enough.
