“Backstage Hotel Amsterdam has a lively rock and roll atmosphere that caters perfectly to music lovers, especially with its proximity to Melkweg. While the basic rooms and thin windows are something to consider, the welcoming reception and delightful breakfast create a charming bed and breakfast feel. I think its central location and walkable access to the canals make it a great choice for a quick Amsterdam getaway.”

helpful staffgood locationmusic themesteep stairsshared toiletlower floor shower
The staff members were helpful. I appreciated their assistance with directions. The hotel had a good location near attractions. The music theme decor was interesting.
The stairs were steep. I struggled to carry luggage up to my room. The shared toilet was a few doors away. The shower was on the floor below (which was inconvenient).
