Good location, room was average and really hard stair to get up, as they are very narrow, made it hard to carry bags up and down! wouldnt stay here if unfit and old because their is no lift!

Hotel was good value for money and had the facilities we needed. Only bad things were that there was no clean towels on arrival and the bathroom light didn't work, showering in the dark is not fun! But would definitely would stay again and recommend it to anyone else staying in amsterdam>

We had a fantastic time in Amsterdam for my friends hen weekend-the hostel was just ideal! One thing we would say, invest in some new pillows, the ones you have are really lumpy! That's all though :) thanks!

Staff are very friendly, perfect location to bars and entertainment areas, walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go, easy to find cost 4 euros on a bus from the airport, rooms are clean, could do with new pillows otherwise it was nice. Sarah & James - Australia

Hi Paula, Happy New Year! We start renovating the toilets next Monday. Sorry for the bad odour... Hopefully we can welcome you again some day! best regards, Hans

THe room was CLEAN! Amazing! There was WIFI. It was EASY TO find. Amsterdam is a walkable city.... and this hostel is close to Leizephein and other tourist attractions! Totally recommend this place! :) The breakfast buffet in the mornings for 6.50 euros isn't a bad deal either considering how expensive Amsterdam can be....

Price quality a very good balance. Admittedly I was there in cold mid-December, so no noisy crowding around the hotel. One person bedrooms tend to be small and chicken-pen like. At Back-stage hotel the room is well organized and you have a superb view on the canals. Ideally located in the center it is at walking distance from the main theaters and other attractions.
