Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Backstage Hotel Amsterdam boasts a fantastic location, putting you within walking distance of the Anne Frank Museum and Dam Square. The hotel has a distinctive rock 'n' roll theme with nice interior design. Guests love the breakfast, and some rooms feature unique touches like walls covered in vinyl records. Some guests find the characteristically narrow and steep stairs challenging, so packing light is recommended.

mixed feelings about this place

record playeruncomfortable arrangement
the staff at reception seemed alright i guess, they had a record player i could borrow for the room.
the bed situation was just weird. it looked to be a queen bed, but really it was two single beds shoved together to look like one thing. it was not a comfortable arrangement for sleeping, obviously.

central locationdifficult stairsexcessive noiselack of air
the LOCATION was acceptable because it was central.
The STAIRS proved difficult, even WITHOUT heavy luggage. I consider this a design flaw. my ROOM faced the street, and the NOISE levels were excessive, disrupting sleep. the lack of AIR conditioning compounded the issue.
