Backstage Hotel Amsterdam

It’s really hard to find good accommodation in Amsterdam for a price that won’t leave you feeling like you’ve been mugged, but, somehow, this hip hotel manages to do just that. It keeps its rates surprisingly low and its guests happy with free wi-fi, iPod docking stations in each room, trendy Flight Case furniture and a great location that’s close enough to the bars and clubs of Leidseplein, but just far enough away so you don’t actually hear all of the nightlife that’s associated with the square. Lots of bands that play Amsterdam stay here, hence the name and the rock music theme, so you can expect a lively atmosphere, especially at its private bar and billiard room that's only open to guests.
