When I arrived at this hotel, I knocked on the door and said, "hello there , I have a reservation" . My reply in an very off handed and VERY unfriendly manner was "oh really " ! I thought it was a wind up ! The room was damp and the bed linen looked unclean and smelt very damp, ESPECIALLY... more

The Anco is a basic value gay tourist hotel. the location is excellent for the cruisy gay nighlife. The room we stayed in was small, clean and basic with shared toilet and shower, which were kept clean and we never had to wait for. The room was to the front of hte building which overlooks the canal and a charming... more

Back from Amsterdam and had a great stay at the ANCO. If I go to Amsterdam i try to do a combination of night life and culture. The reasons I stay at the ANCO: 1. It is the only GAY MEN Hotel left over in Amsterdam. The rest is gay friendly. For me it is important that I can be... more

Good hotel with reasonable prices... for gay lads, leathermen and skinheads... friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Central location is great if you're heading out for the night to the nearby leather clubs. Shared facilities, plenty hot water and clean, a bit dated but does the job. Didn't try breakfast though it looked fine to start your day. more

Such a shame that for a centrally placed gay hotel, there is a lack of welcome at the bar/front desk and rooms are poorly furnished, not clean, and smokey. For a few more Euros there a cleaner, friendlier and as central hotels that seem to want your custom. more

I had a local tell me not to stay at The Anco in the days before my stay there, but I proceeded to visit the hotel anyway - and I wished I had listened to the advice I had been given. The Anco is not good, the rooms are basic, and the staff could not have been less helpful or... more
