The room was really small, bathroom tube, furniture and carpets looked very old, and hotel definitely needs some renovation. Breakfast was nice. The hotell is well accesible from center by tram and very close to museums/fashion shops area. Nearby area is very quiet - no coffeeshops or red light stuff. Staff was helpful.

Bunk beds comfy but bit dodgy in dark climbing up ladder after a hash cake!. Would of been spot on if not for the drilling at 8am which was bit hard to talk over at breakfast. For amsterdam its a cheap hotel with everything you need.

Many European hotels later, we found this the worst experience, primarily due to the noise of the kitchen below us and the smoking in the non-smoking halls.

Wandered aimlessly in the rain/snow for the better part of an hour trying to figure out where this hotel was before asking a local - the map on the web site is nearly useless, needs to have a higher resolution to show the small streets and alleys (even the local had a hard time). Once located, it is very convenient to museums, concerts, and the trolley/train connection to the airport worked flawlessly, even for an early morning flight. Rooms, as noted in previous reviews are TINY, but adequate for one person who is sight-seeing (would have been problematic though if the top bunk were not available to hold luggage). Hallway noise from other guests noticeable, as was smoke from the restaurant downstairs, but neither so bad that I would not stay there again. Quiet street, no view to speak of. Internet access dubious and expensive.

The hotel is close to the tram station Museumplein, the National Museum (Rijksmuseum) and Van Gogh Museum, so you can go these museums on foot. So the location is good for sightseeing. The receptionist of the hotel was friendly. But the bathtub of the room didn't have a stopper. Our room was on the first floor, faced the back of the Concertgebouw hall, but I was annoyed a bit by the noise of the motor (that of air conditioner ?) outside our room. Although the number of dishes for breakfast was relatively scarce, ham and cheese were delicious. In consideration of its good location and relatively low hotel charges, I overlooked these faults.

Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful man at reception, the lobby was bright and airy and nice and warm, after a quick check in, went up to our room which was on the 3rd floor but the lift was operational so it was no problem. The room was a double and was very sufficient for our 2 night stay. very clean, very comfortable bed, T.V with english channels and an en-suite bathroom again very clean. The breakfast was very good, cereals, toast, and ham and cheese boiled eggs etc very pleasant breakfast room. The hotel is off the main road so very peaceful and you are very close to the Van Gogh Museum and the local Trams which take you into the centre. The hotel staff are extremely helpful and have much information on how to get around Amsterdam etc. We would definately book there again in the near future. Thank you Trianon for a wonderful stay.

Location was great- in a neighborhood right across the street from a park, the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijesteik Museum and close to all transportation. Staff was very helpful and friendly! Breakfast spread included in the price was the best I have seen- eggs, toast, pastries, fruit, yogurt, hams, cereal, the list goes on! And the dining room is lovely! My only concern was the size of the room. My husband and I literally could not pass each other in the room at the same time. One of us had to sit on the bed with our legs up while the other walked by. There were also lots of mosquitoes b/c we kept our window open at night. As long as you know there is NO room inside the room and are expecting it (traveling light), it is ok. I would stay here again for the price, friendly staff, location and food.

I had a single room and it was very tiny with bunk beds. Very, very narrow space. unable to view TV from bottom bunk but who has time to watch TV in Amsterdam? Service and breakfast were fine. Location perfect for museums. Ask for a room without bunkbeds if you are claustrophobic. My room faced the street and it was quiet. This hotel is for the Budget traveler who does not plan to spend much time in the room.

I refer to your kind rezervation at Hotel ACH Trianon in Amsterdam for me during my official visit. I went directly to this hotel when I arrived. Hovewer, I received such bad reception and rudness that I decided to inform you so that you and your other clients get to know the subject hotel before going there.There was only one person of the hotel staff and when I presented my reservation form which you had given me to this person he pushed it away and agrly told me that he wanted to see my personal papers first, which I gave him immediately. He then told me that I would have a room in the attic, and that I could go to see it, but that the price quoted in the reservation form was unacceptable to him. I would have to pay a higher price than that.By that time I had lost patience at this man's constantly irritating attitude, and protested his offering me a dinghy little room in the attic with a double-deck iron bed and the price he wanted to impose on me higher than the one already quoted for a normal hotel room.He very angrily dismissed me with a rude gesture and said I could complain about his hotel anywhere I liked and he did'nt care. I cancelled the reservation and left the hotel immediately.

We really enjoyed our stay at ACH Trianon. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was tiny (but that was expected and was fine with us) we had comfy beds, 27 TV channels, clean and new bathroom facilities and a balcony with a view to the next door theatre. Excellent buffet breakfast every morning, nice restaurant. The only things lacking were no tea/coffee facilities and no fridge in the room although hotel staff offered us to use their fridge. Happy with price and service. Hotel is located 2 mins from Van Gogh and another historical museum, public transport 30m from the hotel. Hotel located in a quiet street. Thanks to hotel staff, we really enjoyed our stay and 1st visit to Amsterdam.

I went like two months ago. The hotel was in a very good location, but they were rebuilding and didnt have lift service, so we had to take our heavy luggage up stairs. the best is the location, id say its 100% good. Can walk to Museums. The breakfast was ok. I didnt like the bathroom, specially the shower. But if i visit Amsterdam again, ILL STAY THERE AGAIN...NO DOUBTS!!!

When I arrived to the hotel, I figured out that the room had a 2 bunkbeds. It was probably written in the booking form that I filled in on the internet but the photo was showing a twin beds room. I think that this is not very nice. The pictures should indicate the type of room anyhow. Furthermore the room was extremely small and I really believe that the relationship between price/quality (having payed 125 euro) is ridiculous...

I had called the hotel to let them know that I would be arriving late at night. Upon arrival, I discovered that they had cancelled my reservation by accident. The person at the desk was very incompetent and did not know what to do. He called for help and it took him 2 hours to renew the reservation. I finally got to my room at 1 in the morning. The next day, I had a horrible breakfast. And, coming back to my room, there was no hot water for my shower! Reception were very rude to me when I called them about this. The rooms were smaller than I had expected. I had payed a lot of money for this hotel, and was extremely dissapointed with it. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone

This hotel was VERY BAD. DO NOT STAY HERE! The rooms were not clean, small and smelled. The room was so small that my friend and I could not pass each other without sitting on one of the bunk beds. The rooms in amsterdam are small, but this was ridiculous. Also, the man who greeted us was not helpful or friendly. There is also an amsterdam tax that I was not informed of so this increased the price I paid by about 10 euros. The only good thing is that it is very close to the Van Gogh museum. Do NOT stay there. You are better off staying in a hostel.

I was very disapointed to see how different my room was as regard the photo put on internet! It was really small and looked like rooms in jail I guess,and very noisy too! You can clearly hear what your neightbours say! You wonder if there is a door between your room and the corridor as well! The regular receptionist is not as kind, helpfull as he should be...

I have to say even when you only need just a place to sleep I don't know about others but I at least would like a little room to breathe. Thank goodness there was a window that opened. I felt like I was in a prison cell with how small the rooms were, they were cut in halves like sandwiches and the only good thing about this place was location. I walked down the block and the hostel looked better then this place with space! I can't believe I paid what I did for staying here. Sorry I wont be staying here again, I'll definitely take the walk or tram instead of trying to get a good location like this. Not worth it.

The hotel is 5 minutes away from the museums and the tram stop that takes you everywhere in the city. It is in a quieter area of Amsterdam a little bit further away from central station and the red light district. The room was very clean and spacious, we even had a balcony with a gorgeous view.

Good location, near the three most important Museums in Amsterdam, the staff was very kind and helpful, and breakfast is served at the same hotel (not in another, this is a bad information in the web page). There was only one problem: my room was full of mosquitos (in December, it seems incredible, but it's true!).

Good hotel for a 2 star accomodation; would improve room comfort if any type of door would replace current fabric-curtain as bathroom door. Breakfast was above average for 2 star. Hotel personnel attentive and helpful. Price somehow high for a 2 star, but I guess Amsterdam overall is expensive

Had a great weekend in Amsterdam last week. The hotel was easy to find (just round the corner from the Concert Hall and 1 minutes walk to the Van Gogh Museum). The staff were very friendly and helpful and there was plenty of food at breakfast. My room was quite small but had a balcony, but my friends room was bigger though without a balcony. Overall, we felt we had got value for money and would certainly return to this hotel.
