Hotel Acro - Amsterdam

5.2

The venere system does not distinguish between double/one bed and double/twin beds. We reserved a 'double' but we wanted twin beds. The only available rooms were a single 'two-person' bed. Hotel and Venere need to have been shared definitions. The room was very small (even given the normal standards in NL) and I think overpriced. Our room was over the bar and it was noisy until about 1 am. The bathroom was nice - the shower worked well. Breakfast was standard. The location is very nice - a quiet neighborhood near Rijksmuseum/Vondel park.

Sehr, sehr freundliches Personal. Ausgezeichnete und zentrale Lage. Die steilen Treppen zum Zimmer waren kein Problem für uns. Sehr empfehlenswert! Personale gentilissimo. Posizione ideale e centrale. Le scale un ripide per raggiungere le camere non erano un problema. Di certo consigliabile!

8.5

perfect location, right next to the museums. quiet place, very good surroundings, nice staff.

6.3

Nice location. A bit far from the railway station (tram 5 will take you there), but located in a very nice Fashion and Museum district. The rooms on the ground floor are terrible: extremely noisy and incredibly tiny. Quite good breakfast. The best park Vondelpark is located right near the hotel.

8.8

Good value and location.

7.8

The area is quiet and nice and quite close to the center. The breakfast is very good.

8.9

Hotel simple mais idéalement situé, à 100 m de l'entrée actuelle de Rijksmuseum et 300 m du musée Van Gogh....des dizaines de restos à 5 mn... Accueil sympa. Les vélos hollandais (habituez vous au freinage par retropédalage !) disponibles à l'hotel sont bien pratiques pour découvrir et goûter les charmes d'Amsterdam. Chambres très propres et bien rénovées. Petit déj varié et copieux. Une très bonne adresse, que nous réutiliserons lors d'un prochain séjour.

8.3

We stayed in Hotel Acro for 4 nights and it couldn't have been better! Staff was great, very helpful. The location of the hotel was the best. Near Van Gogh and Rex Museum. There's a Tram line right across the street. If I ever come back I'll definately stay there.

6.1

The room was a bit small. Quite close to main museums. People at the reception were very helpful. The only thing I was bothered was the wall was so thin that I was woken up by next door's noise at 2am(even by smell of marihuana...) There were stairs at the entrance, which may make those with heavy luggages exausted. Breakfast, however, was fantastic!

3.4

- Very small rooms. - Very small stairs. Dangerous to use. - Bad bathroom plumbing. - Noise can be heard from one room to another. - Problems with the windows.

5.4

We stayed during the Easter weekend, and even though the hotel is central and well located, the room was very small and the bathroom only had a shower and the toilet seat had no cover. The window wasn't designed to be opened and there was no air conditioning. Breakfast wasn't too good and fruit juice was 10% concentrate juice and 90% water.

8.1

I did not expect a luxury hotel, but I wanted cleanliness and a good night's sleep. I got both and was very happy about that. The hotel is well located, and easy to find. I would return.

9.8

Out of all the hotels in Amsterdam, I picked the ACRO. I found it ABOVE it's star rating, The room was rather small, but what do you need for bed & breakfast? It was very clean, and the staff, I found to be EXCELLENT!!!

5.4

The rooms are very tasteless and the beds are hardest ever.However, the breakfast was surprisingly good.If you get a good price, stay there.Otherwise, dont go any near.

7.4

In sostanza un'ottima soluzione per una vacanza ad Amsterdam; localizzato a 2 passi dal Museumplein, vicinissimo alla fermata del tram, in 5-10 minuti a piedi si arriva in centro

9.1

A good spot for a couple or a single professional. right in the city centre. My room was very clean warm and nice but not enough space if you travel as a family.

8.1

A good value hotel with basic, but clean rooms. Breakfast is excellent. The wireless internet was not working though!

9.5

I read both positive and negative comments about this hotel but my experience was definitely positive. I really think the location is incredible..its surrounded by a very large park and a short walk to the most important museums in Amsterdam. I rented a bike from the hotel for a modest price. The walls are thin as suggested in some reviews but I don't think the type of clientele they get here are likely to be a problem...they weren't for me. The staff were efficient (not overly friendly but that might be a local thing). The rooms were more than large enough for me but might be considered small by North American standards. I have already recommended the hotel to relatives.

6.8

Breakfast was the best thing, staff was not very friendly, location is quite good as you can arrive by tram form the train station in 15 minutes and it is close to the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum too. There were many people from Spain when we were there. I think it is expensive comparing price/quality

7.6

Rooms were ok. Nice surroundings. The breakfast area was really crowded.

6.8

Posizione tranquilla e silenziosa proprio dietro al museo Van Gogh e a 5 minuti da Leidsplein, 3 minuti da McBike che affitta bici e a 50 metri dalla fermata del tram che in 7-8 minuti arriva a piazza Dam. Stanza (410) piccola (quella con due letti è meglio di quella con letto matrimoniale), ma molto pulita, a terra c'è il legno. Bagno con box doccia chiuso (no tenda), pressione dell'acqua ottima anche all'ultimo piano. Colazione molto ricca (vari tipi di pane da tostare, marmellate, cioccolata, succhi di frutta, bevande calde, salumi e formaggio, uova alla coque..) insomma c'è tutto in abbondanza. C'è l'ascensore, cosa non trascurabile. Unico neo: al quarto piano c'è il locale caldaia quindi fa molto caldo. Occhio ai prezzi della stanza che nel finesettimana raddoppiano. Comunque considerando la media dei due stelle di Amsterdam questo albergo è più che dignitoso!

perfect location for all the sights and an excellent quality of service. The breakfast was awesome.

8.3

perfect location , very pleasant , can recommend

7.2

The room was nice & the bathroom was good, especially considering the budget. The room stank of fags however and the smell was coming in through the airvents in the night from the room next door. The vents were directly above my bed & I woke up a few times choking

8.1

Acro Hotel is located close to many museums, in a very calm neighbourhood. Tramway is 2 minutes away from the hotel, allowing easy access to the center (although it is only 20-25 min away by foot). Service was ok, staff always helpful, breakfast buffet quite good, free & quite fast wi-fi access. Room is not big, but clean, and I guess you can't find much better for this price. The hotel is close to leidseplein, so 2-3 streets full of restaurants & bars are less than 10-15 minutes away by foot. Will definitely go back to this hotel.

8.1

Location was perfect, only a short walk to the Leidesplein, central canal belt, Vondelpark and most museums but in quiet, pleasant surroundings. The hotel room itself was small with basic decor, but clean and comfortable, a great base from which to explore the city. Security was good as there was a 24 hour reception and safety deposit boxes. Breakfast was included in the price, basic but lots of food available!

8.4

good choice for amsterdam.

7.6

This was the first time that I stayed at Hotel Acro. The room and especially the bathroom was very small. Sheets were ok. Towels could have been newer. But they were clean. Breakfast was satisfactory, but nothing fancy. The location is perfect. Given the location and the price, I think it was a good choice. If you don't want to spend too much and be close to everything, Hotel Acro is a good choice. Of course you can find a better hotel if you are willing to pay more.

9.8

A very nice little hotel situated in the heart of A'dam, just in front of the Rijksmuseum. Excellent quality to be of this category (I had in my room TV and hairdryer). It is also possibile to rent a bike at the reception (Euro 8/day). I'll be back again and tell my friends.

8.4

This is not the first time I book a room in this hotel. Now, everytime I can, I take one in the Hotel Acro, I am always sure to be satisfy: lift, room perfect, tv with channels in various langages, very good breakfast and very well situated (to eat for exemple, with Leidseplein just next to it)

8.5

For those who are interested in arts and music and do not mind a compact space, this is a perfect place: easy access to Vondel park appreciated. Very quiet surroundings.

2.1

Hotel cutre, viejo, incomodo, destartalado y carísimo para lo que ofrece. Lo único positivo: que está limpio y la zona es buena.

3.7

Our Double room was a very small Single Room converted to double room with a Small Bed for Two People.

8.0

Good location near bus lines, very nice hotel. Very steep stairs to the front lobby. Hard to find the street. Turn at the Rembrandt museum to find the hotel. Located near Rembrandt and Van Gogh museums

7.7

Excellent location. Great breakfast. Small rooms but perfectly managable and a comfy bed too. Shower was good. Helpful, friendly staff. Would stay again if we were back in Amsterdam.

7.6

Hotel molto onesto, in una posizione molto carina e comoda a pochi passi dalla leiden. Personale veramente gentile e simpatico. Camera pulita anche se un pò strettina, ma d'altronde era una quadrupla. Accesso ai piani superiori comodo solo in ascensore. Molto raccomandato per il rapporto prezzo/qualità. **** Fair value hotel, very good location at walking distance from leiden square. Personnel nice and caring. Clean room maybe a little narrow, but it was a quadruple room. Upstairs floors access comfortable via lift. Overall recommended, high value for money.

6.0

Room we had was exceptionally small.

9.0

For a city hotel this is good value for money, very clean, good breakfast, helpful staff and easily accessible to all the attractions. If we ever came back to Amsterdam we would certainly consider staying here again.

4.9

First of all, the hotel staff including every person we had the chance to meet during our 4 days were very friendly, competent and unusuallly helpful. A second advantage of the Acro is its location, a few meters from the museum plein, from the tram station and five minutes from a boat station on the gracht. On the other hand, rooms and furniture were rather shabby and not very clean. The so-called double rooms had two single beds of 80 x 190 cm that could not be put together (making sex an athletic challenge we were not really delighted of). Breakfast was all right, although we had better ones in other hotels of the same price level.

5.8

Great location, right by the museums and very close to Vondel Park. Dorm-like set up in the rooms. Small, basic amenities and very uncomfortable mattress. Our TV didn't work and didn't have a remote. Walls in the hotel were paper thin and we heard every noise even the guy upstairs using the toilet! I had a very difficult time sleeping with the mattress and noise. Staff were friendly and helpful. I wouldn't recommend it or stay there again.

6.6

Nice location and hotel, however the double room is not so spacious so can't imagine what the single room must be like, also pervasive smell of cigarette smoke in the room which puts off a non-smoker like me.

7.7

rooms are clean, not very spacious but it was suffisant. the welcoming was ok. they speak a little bit french, that was nice. breakfast was good // Chambres petites mais agréables et propres. WC et sdb ds la chambre. bien situé dans un quartier luxueux & calme à 2mn du centre. avis positif !!

9.9

Acro is a very nice hotel and its staffs are very courtesy and helpful. Hotel is in a quiet museums’ area and commute to central of downtown is very easy, only takes a minute to walk to the trams stop from hotel. The breakfast is great and it’s included, you can also make a tour reservation right in the hotel. The only thing I felt little unconformable is there is no smoking or non-smoking room, but they will make an effort trying to get the smell out of it (it’s hard). I’ll highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again next time when I visit Amsterdam for the price and the service.

8.6

Good hotel for the price. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast plentiful. Close to trams and great irish bars nearby for evening meals.

8.7

Good prices for really nice and clean room. Nice breakfast too.

8.2

Very good hotel with resonable price and excelllent staffs/location. Don't forget to book this hotel when you go to Amsterdam.

2.4

Nice Hotel, Nice Staff, Nice Location. Stayed there 4 times. The 4th time I got bed bugs from the room and was bitten all over. I will not go there again

5.5

Nice hotel, good situation, welcoming a bit cold but cordial. Good place for a long week end in Amsterdam.

8.1

The hotel is very close to the national museum and Van Gogh museum. The room is clean and neat, and I love the breakfast Acro provides everyday.

9.0

Excellent price/quality relationship. Huge rooms, good location (2 blocks from Van G. museum, walking distance from the centre), it has lift (which is really important in Amsterdam). Breakfast is good. I would return in the future.

8.7

-very good value for money. rooms are not as spacious but very clean and well maintained. -location is great with easy access to transportation to and from the airport, and within amsterdam. -helpful staff, fluent in english

7.4

We wanted to visit the museums, for this purpose it was the ideal spot: less than threee minutes by foot, tram very close to all directions. The lavatory was quite tiny and absolutely not sound-proof. Do not trust the route description of the hotel: it leads you the wrong way.

5.6

My main complaint is the room size which was very small and the cost higher than in any other European city in which I have stayed

7.2

Very affordable and close to major museums in the area (Van gogh), close to downtown area and restaurants.

9.0

a very good hotel.

8.0

Clean and friendly. Room was a little narrow but that was to be expected. If you want to stay in a slightly quieter area but still within walking distance of everything this is a good place to stay.

7.9

A small Hotel well situated with COMPETENT employees. Rooms are small and their attached bathrooms are really TOO SMALL. Good breakfast.

8.8

very nice near from museums breakfast inclused - nice

5.3

Basic, hostel like, paper thin walls. Good location.

7.9

We had a great stay, although I can't realy remember the room and the breakfast. Very friendly personel, they even helped us finding the mobilephone of my compagnon.

8.5

Tout près du Rijksmuseum et du musée Van Gogh. Escaliers un peu raides.

6.4

the only real down side was the small size of the room. my husband is quite tall and we found it difficult to move around in the room.

8.4

Key attractions and stimuli in the City are the sister museums called the RIJKS and VAN GOGH. The hotel is adjacent to both the museums and the arterial tram lines also. My experience of the accommodation in the spring of 2006 was that it was comfortable, clean and friendly.
