“
reall nice hotel, extremly close to great areas in amsterdam, close to night life, coffe shops and also to several museums. However the area felt very safe and was very quiet unlike other areas/hotels in amsterdam.
Also tram stop is less then a minute away from the hotel and gets you everywhere within 15 minutes.
Breakfast was up to expectations to (bread, cheese, eggs, mortadella, cereals, sweet stuff like jams and choclate, juices and cofee)

We had a 3 bed room, but we got a 2 bed room, and a sofa bed :S
the room was therefore too small. Pity, it's the only bad thing.
*my tipTram is extremly close so everything is at close distance :)

Clean and friendly, nice quiet street
+
Rooms were clean and cleaned every day, rooms looked newly painted & renovated, service was friendly, breakfast was good, wifi was free and worked well. Location was pretty good too, a bit of a walk from the centre, say 15-20 mins, but it was worth it to be in a nice quiet street. If you have a bike it's no drama at all (and you should in Amsterdam).
–
Room was pretty small but this is pretty standard for Holland - and not just for tourists! It was expensive too, but I think this was because we were there over New Year's Eve and their regular prices looked much more reasonable.
*my tipDon't go around New Year's Eve unless you specifically want to. If you are there, check out the fireworks mayhem at Nieuwmarkt on the 31st

Great Experience with Acro Hotel

Room is cozy and comfy. Breakfast is well spread. Staff are helpful. Most importantly, free wifi access .. Love it! The very classic spiral staircase leading you to the rooms is my favorite!
–
Traveller like me love to start my daily activities early.. Suggest hotel to serve breakfast earlier than 7.30 am. The stairs at the entrance of the hotel is steep , it's challenging to carry heavy luggage up or down.

Terrific location, near major squares and museums. Quiet street, half-block from tram stop.

My room was the second smallest room I've ever had in a European hotel. Well designed, but SMALL! (Also one of the smallest in this hotel, I think.)

Excellent location, right next to Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and the luxury shopping street PC Hoofdstraat. Nice 'typical'Amsterdam building.
–
The desk was under a sloping roof and it was therefore impossible to actually sit at it. Rather pointless having it in the room! Perhaps slightly warm as it was a hot day but with the window open it wasn't too bad.

Decent but not the best.

Located near Ledseplein is good. But you would need to take a tram to go to Dam square which is a lot more happening. Decent beds and amenities.
–
The room was extremely cold and the heater was not working. Additionally, the hot water takes a long time to get to your pipe! Its not exactly the cheapest as well.

Clean, simple and affordable - but a bit warm in summer
+
Simple and affordable. Good service - fast check-in/out. Excellent speed of FREE wifi connection and clean bathroom.

Small room but it's common in Amsterdam. Room is also a bit warm and could be uncomfortable in summer in the absence of Air-Cond. It would be great if management invests a little bit more on the installation of a wall fan in the room.
