At XO Hotels, Amsterdam’s 12.5% tourist tax is already included in the direct room price (in 2027 this will be 16% tourist tax). So you pay nothing extra at check-out — no surprise on your bill.
In 2026 the City of Amsterdam charges a tourist tax of 12.5% of the room rate (excluding VAT). In 2027 the City of Amsterdam charges a tourist tax of 16% of the room rate (excluding VAT). At many hotels and on booking platforms this amount is added on top of the displayed room rate when you arrive. At XO Hotels, when you book direct, it isn’t.
A room at €120 with city tax added separately ends up costing more than €135. At XO Hotels that 12.5% is already in the direct price. So always compare the final amount including tax, breakfast and cancellation terms.
