Amazing location. Great staff! Very cool interior and lounge area.

Mallory United States of America

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.

Agnes_who Netherlands

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.

Tlacy22 United States of America

The location is perfect and staffs are very friendly.

Thanutcha Thailand

Anselmo Brazil

The location is very good. The room is clean and the staff nice.

Daniela Romania

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.

Aleksandar North Macedonia

The staff is funny, accommodating, friendly and helpful

Debashish India

Traveling solo with a backpack to go see a gig at Paradiso. Backstage was the perfect place to stay. Within walking distance of pretty much everything worth seeing. The staff is nice and helpful.

Ricardosj Portugal

Staff were friendly and helpful. It was a 3 minute walk to Melkweg where I was going to see a concert. Great for one night.
