Super friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Sadly and typically weak European shower water pressure 😅, but that in NO way detracted from the awesome experience at Backstage. Would definitely recommend.

Staff were very helpful and nice. You need to be able to negotiate super steep stairs with your luggage. I mean steep! We were on the 4 th floor, so this was a good workout. Luckily we take carry on luggage or I wouldn’t have been able to get to my room. They will help you if you can’t do it on your own. Easy access from Eurostar. Lots of close dining options. You are right in the middle of the city.

Stayed at the backstage for one night on our way back to Toronto. The staff was kind, the rock n roll decor was very cool. They let us check in quite early and had water in the room which was appreciated. Rooms were clean and the location is very central to everything. I would stay again.

Absolutely magical spot right in the heart of it all! Quiet area, but close to it all - museums, shopping, canals! Mo and Vince at the front desk were amazing and helpful with recommendations and kindness. The upgraded room made the steps worth it and looking out over the canal with my wine was exactly what my soul needed.

I will start with the good. The staff I dealt with were all very personable. The theming was great. Now, I paid extra to get a private room. I shouldnt of have. The walls and door are thinner than paper. I could literally hesr the peoples conversations next door clearly. The staircase up and down the first floor is dangerous. I slipped twice because the stairs are so small. I ended ul booking another hotel just so Icould sleep at night due tonexcessive noise from other guests

This property is probably a 4.5 out of 5. It was accurately described in the description which I appreciated. Very clean and they were accommodating to let me leave my stuff when I arrived early. I didn’t love having to go between floors to shower and there was no where to set stuff while showering. Other than that, it was what I expected.

No lift! If you have any mobility issues please note that the stairs are winding. Other than that, the room we were in was similar to the size of a cruise ship twin room (2 beds). The customer service was good and the staff were helpful and would even look up bus times, etc. The location was close enough to walk to most attractions or to catch a bus or train. Restaurants were also steps away. On-site bar, game room and overall coolness effect of the place are worth noting.
