to get started.

Comfy beds, aesthetic (really fun decor), nice make up mirror. Location. Only thing would be the lack of an elevator - but it is to be expected in an old building like this.

We loved Backstage Hotel. The location was great and only a short walk from most places. There was a coffee shop right next door (for those who are interested). It was located right along the canal which made for a great view. The breakfast was thoughtful and hearty for a very fair price. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. I'd definitely stay here again.

Centrally located, perfect host, the room was clean more then enough. I was alone in transit in Amsterdam and I did not like to stay at the hostels but the host and all employees at the hotel they try in any single way to make me feel like I am at home....Excellent ! Next time I / WE will stay longer.

Our city view (on booking.com invoice) was from the basement which we didn’t expect more of a skyline view or people’s legs passing bye. But it was quiet down there so this suited us. The staff are very friendly, pleasant and very helpful. A unique hotel.

The bottom floor had a foul smell to it. There was only 1 toilet and 1 shower for 4 rooms I believe. It wasn't an issue while we were staying there, but I can see how if could be an issue another time.

From start to finish, the staff at Backstage were amazing. Couldn’t do enough for us and were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is something else! Quirky and full of interesting features, perfect for music fans and everyone else alike. Location was brilliant, close to local bars/restaurants and transport hubs. Can’t fault it at all!

It’s very central near by a canal you can go any where from the hotel , the staff is really amazing. The breakfast is worth every euro spend ( more croissants, please). It’s extremely quiet being where it is and the bar it’s a nice place to have a relax time with that exquisite coffee.
