The Poet Hotel Amsterdam - Amsterdam

Nice place not far from city centre. Rooms are small but not the smallest I've stayed before. Quite clean. One problem that, noises are heard from the corridor. But in general we had a good stay. Breakfast is ok.

Very good location. It was on refurbishment so now its going to be better. Poor sound isolation.

Helpful friendly staff, a nice atmosphere

Staff were really helpful, we had a double room which was narrow but adequate, the stairs are steep but there is a lift although we rarely bothered to use it. It has a great location with a couple of museums right outside, would recommend to anyone

Great location, near park, museums, high-class shopping, bars, canals... Our room was small, simple but pretty and like brand new. good breakfast. NB: Stairs of course a litte bit dangerous (like everywhere in amsterdam) Wifi doesn't go to the rooms; only near reception and bar.

Good hotel with correct price for Amsterdam Situation near museums and quiet surroundings we recommend this hotel

Nice Hotel, Rooms seem to be renovatet a short time ago, the rest of the Hotel (floors, stairs, elevator) are not renovatet, so the first impression is not so good, but the rooms are very nice, clean and cosy. The room was small, but that did not bother us, we were out all day anyway. Breakfast is ok, but it is only inside and there are very nice restaurants in the area, where we could sit outside, so we did only eat there once. The Hotel is very near to the Leidseplein, were all the restaurants, bars etc. are. To the Tramway station it is onli 3 Minutes by foot...

Hotel Acro was situated in pleasant area very close to Museums. Rooms were very clean and bedlinen was spotless. Staff were extremely helpful and spoke good English. Lift sometimes difficult to work and winding stairs might not suit older people.

The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful. Any time we had questions, the front desk was happy to show us what we wanted to know on the map and instruct us on how to use public transportation. We were in the museum district next to great shopping, the Hard Rock Cafe and a number of other great spots. Be prepared to climb spiral staircase or wait for the elevator. The morning breakfast was tasty but since I'm not a big breakfast eater that wasn't an important point for me. My husband on the other hand was quite satisfied by the meal. Our room was quite small however, it's Europe so I didn't expect anything large but my husband did for some reason. I'm surprised given the amount of European traveling he has done but after I calmed him down and reminded him that we were not there for the room but for the city, he settled down. lol Overall it was a pleasant stay. We would definitely recommend Hotel Acro to others and return again ourselves.

I thought the hotel room was beautiful!! It was probably very cheap, though, because most of the hotel seemed to be under construction (the first two floors, not including the reception floor or the floor where we stayed--all that was decked out all nicely). I hope they are still under construction because I'd like to stay there again and the prices will probably rise since the hotel is quite nice. And the free breakfast was AAAMAAZZINGGGG.

La descrizione del sito rispecchia perfettamente la realtà. L'albergo è situato in una zona molto tranquilla nonostante sia un po' fuori dal centro storico della città. Il centro si raggiunge molto facilmente e volecemente con i tram 2 e 5 che passano proprio vicino l'albergo. L'albergo è piuttosto pulito e silenzioso, ma le camere(una doppia matrimoniale) son piccole, una volta aperta la valigia non si circola più. Lo staff è quasi inesistente, la colazione è buona e abbondante. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è buono.

We visited Amsterdam for 5 days and stayed at Hotel Accro. We had a bit of trouble finding the hotel as the directions on the website were misleading. Anyways we finally found the hotel and checked in. The room was typically Dutch as it was very small and very cosy. The bathroom was tiny and the sink was ridiculously smallbut clean. We didn't like the breakfast room as it reminded us too much of a high school lunch room. The location was fine at it is in the museum district just a stone's throw away from the major museums and also close to Vondelpark and Leidseplein. The staff were very friendly and very ready with advice on just about everything. Overall, the stay at the hotel was fine as we only slept and ate breakfast there - too much to see and do in Amsterdam to spend time cooped up in the hotel.

The Hotel Acro has very small rooms, but it's common in Amsterdam. On the other side, the rooms are very clean and with a closed shower (not so common in Amsterdam). The breakfast is good, the reception very kind and the location is very very central: only 2 minute by walk to reach the Rijksmuseum and tram stop, only one tram stop (or 20 min by walk) to Leidsplein.

Thank you for the excellent Home

Excellent will return back soon to this hotel

First time in Amsterdam. Very good impression on the hotel. Very small rooms, but as single ones, good enough. Tough stairs to get to the upper floor, but typical in Amsterdam, plus a lift available. Perfect situation in the city in the museums area. Still in a quite street. Excellent welcome from the personal. Pleasant breakfast with choice. Would highly recommend this hotel at least for people of our age or under.

The location of the hotel is amazing. It has the best location. The hotel has great prices. It has excellent breakfast. It is very quiet. The staff is very good and helpful. Thank you.

Great hotel near museum area. Rabbit warren of a place, we had a small double near the eaves. Rooms were clean enough, and staff were friendly and helpful (even when we forgot our room number!).

Traveled with my 8y. old daughter Hotel is in the quiet side street though location is perfect to discover Amsterdam. Room was clean though very small. Everything in this hotel is smal and narrow. No way 3 stars hotel. Definitely must be rated as 2 stars. Hotel requires proper renovation Breakfast - nothing special, bread, cheese, muesli, yogurt. Staff friendly and helpful Quality of the internet connection in my room was very poor

The location of the hotel in the Museum district is perfect! Leidseplein is in easy walking distance, walking to the city centre is possible (takes some time), but a tram station is also just around the corner. +++ The staff is friendly, the room was small, but very clean. Breakfast is OK, only the breakfast room is small and can get quite crowded, which is a little bit annoying. +++ Overall, the hotel offers great value for the price. I can perfectly recommend it, especially for people travelling on a budget. +++ I would also recommend to go swimming in Zuiderbad, which is close nearby: It is a very nice old pool with long opening hours, and they have whirlpools, which are great for relaxing after a stressful day of walking around in the city ;-)

Está muy cerca del museo Vangoh. Es lo mejor que tiene.

My parents, my brother and I, we all met in Amsterdam for a nice weekend visiting the museums. This hotel has excellent quality for the price, friendly and competent staff and an exceptionally good breakfast. It's right next to the most important museums and not far from all the other main sights. Only complain was maybe that the streets were a bit noisy and the sound proofing isn't great, but nothing that prevented us from sleeping. All in all we REALLY recommend it.

Very close to many sites. Easy access to the trolley lines. Many restaurants within walking distance.

Everything was perfect, the week end in Amsterdam was a complete pleasure from the beginnig till the end, lovely city and great people, i recommend it, As for the hotel Acro, it is superbly located 2 steps away from the Rijke Museum, downtown, what more can i say ?

The family room was basic but acceptable. The breakfast room is in the basement and the choice of breakfast was poor.

3 camere su 4 erano vivibili, zona tranquilla a 2 passi dal museo di Van Gogh e dalla fermata del tram. Colazione europea dignitosa e personale molto cordiale. Qualche rumore dalle camere vicine e scale ripide e strette... ma per loro è la normalità.

Cheap and well located: museums are just outside and public transportation allows one to easily reach the city center. I would say that the hotel has a "youth hostel like" atmosphere from the offered standards point of view.

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!

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

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.

Good value and location.

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

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.

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.

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!

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Perfect location , very pleasant , can recommend

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

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.

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!

Good choice for amsterdam.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Room we had was exceptionally small.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

-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

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.

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

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

A very good hotel.

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.

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

Very nice near from museums breakfast inclused - nice

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

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.

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

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.

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.
