Lorna
Very comfortable beds. Great location
Gregory
Excellent location - a quick walk to Central Station and all the major sights. The staff went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable. A solid choice.
Sarah
We had a lovely stay. Centrally located to transport & walking. Friendly staff. The rooms are nicely decorated. Would recommend
Kerri
We had an absolutely incredible stay at Highland House. Having their sister Highlander Hotel just down the block was super convenient for wine and snacks and coffee. The Highland House location is very convenient to the train, many canals tours and many key sight seeing locations. Adnan, Concierge, was one of the most genuinely friendly people we met on our vacation. He was helpful with EVERYTHING - restaurant recommendations, directions and even the tourist traps to stay away from. We would gladly stay here again! The library is a great option for 3 adults!
Christopher
Staff very helpful, location very local to things we wanted to see. Rooms were clean and the theming was fun, WiFi works well.
Jacquie
Very comfortable hotel with zany decor and very well located for sight seeing and catching the tram. The breakfasts were great and also appreciated free drinks all day at main hotel. Staff extremely helpful. Our only problem was the cold room. Eventually worked out why it was so cold…. The thermostat is in the tiny hallway and gives false reading for rest of the room making the air on come on all the time.
Taylor
We loved our stay! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind, and even provided an adapter to use since we forgot to bring one. Breakfast was good, and it wasn't an issue being across the street in another hotel. The room was really nice, with a spacious bathroom that actually seemed pretty luxurious. We would definitely stay here again!
Glenda
The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious!

Lovely hotel, great location. Comfy large bed. Only negative is there is very little storage. No drawers at all and just a small open wardrobe with half a dozen hangers. Had to live out of my suitcase.

Adrian
Our stay at the Highland House was perfect!
Check-in process was smooth. Chris at the front desk was super nice and helpful in providing recommendations.
The designs of rooms were so cool and unique. They were very clean and the beds were comfy. Obviously on the smaller side but when you’re in Amsterdam you don’t spend a ton of time in the room.
I highly recommend this hotel for the price, unique rooms, and location!

The location is perfect. You're at the center of all the buzz but since the hotel is in a small alley, foot traffic is low.
We loved the interior decor and the cleanliness of the property. It's modern and chic.

This hotel was very nice small but spacious.. we booked a 2 bed for three people and had more than enough space. There were 2 king beds with a glass door separating them. So it gave it a 2 bedroom fee, one side had the shower and the other side had the separate toilet. We stayed in the wine seller room it was equipped with a bottle of win. The best part was the room was clean and bed were comfortable 10/10 and the sister property was right around the corner for breakfast

Not thrilled with this property. First of all, we checked into the Highlander House (I guess that's the address my directions took us to?) and we were told to walk up the street and around the block to our hotel.
We arrived there and the steps up to the hotel were littered with half eaten food someone had left on the stoop. The area has heavy foot traffic and bars and I guess disrespectful tourists. It's a shame. But anyway, there was no hotel sraff there to clean it off, giving the place more of a hostel feel. But I'm an adult and not interested in staying at hostels. Or walking over half way packages of salmon and other waste on my way to my hotel room.
Took and very skinny, steep circular staircase half a floor down with 3 heavy bags to our room which had a cool look but the bathroom STUNK of MOLD. Like, really moldy and gross. We kept the bathroom door shut the whole time to keep the smell out of the room and had to just deal when we were in the bathroom.
The bed, pillows and blanket were comfy and warm.

Nice room and staff. Convenient location.
Katherine
Super clean modern rooms. Fluffiest bed and bedding ever. Showers were fantastic. There is a coffee shop across the street so it can be chatty at night but they provide ear plugs
Timothy Edward
Great location, near the main walking areas.
Robert
The room with a king and twin was very nice, clean and comfortable. The twin was separated by a divider and had it's own TV. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Cho Kin William
Great location to some nearby tourist attraction. Staff were friendly and helpful, and it was easy to arrange transportation to Schiphol. Room was spacious and well-appointed, but we were a little disappointed that the hotel is unstaffed after 5 or 6pm and to get help, we will have to go to the nearby sister hotel. Overall it was still a great experience for our family of four.
Jaqueline
Not a great hotel but nice service and convenient
The place it’s old and not very well maintained however
It’s walking distance to the Dam square and central station

This hotel was just ok. If you are a discerning travel I recommend looking elsewhere. You are on the edge of the red light district and the smell
Of weed is so strong it wafts into the hotel reception. There is a koffee shop across the Ally. The only perk is the closeness to Amsterdam central station. Breakfast is just ok…the highlander hotel is a bit dingy and feels like a place people roll into after a night of partying. It just didn’t suit our expectations unfortunately.

Highland house v highlander hotel sister buildings
Was a fabulous guesthouse style property, with added convenience of a bar and breakfast room at the parent highlander hotel, you do have to take a short walk across a main road. We got a great February deal so it was very reasonable should I have paid peak prices I would have felt very differently.

This property is great! You really get the feel of being in a typical “narrow” house. The hotel staff, Roberto, was so nice and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location and is a walkable distance to pretty much everywhere in Amsterdam!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Property is beautifully decorated and kept very clean. Everything worked well, room well kitted out and some complimentary treats included. Fantastic location. Would highly recommend, will definitely be returning.

Highland House was a great place to stay. It is in a great location. Service was excellent. Only downside is that the room was small.

Stunning stay. The room is very small but the location is worth it. We had three people in room it wasn’t bad but it was cozy. The pillows were rock hard like bolders(?) the bed and the AC were great though. I enjoyed the stay, the blue tooth speakers were phenomenal touch

I loved everything about this hotel. Awesome location, close to good shops and very close to Central Station. Staff were super friendly. Rooms were so thoughtfully done, with Bluetooth music speakers throughout the ceilings so you can listen to music even when in the shower. The waterfall shower was gorgeous, didn't want it to end. Bed was also super comfy. I’ll be staying here any time I come to Amsterdam for sure :)

Convenient location to the train station and to so much! Even though the room was more of a garden level, it didn’t feel like it was. The room was small but we didn’t need more space and it actually utilized the space so well. The check in process was simple and they provided great local recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!
Stephanie
We had a wonderful night’s stay at The Highland House! The staff was welcoming, friendly and very helpful! We slept well on very comfortable beds. The room was clean, well decorated and we appreciated the free coffee, tea and water. They also gave us a free bottle of Prosecco for staying in the wine cellar room! Very kind! Would definitely recommend!
Martha
The hotel was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful when we had any questions. Loved the breakfast buffet option. The food was great. The rooms were amazing too. Loved the different themed rooms. The beds were very comfortable and had all the amenities needed such as hair dryer and coffee maker. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place. Nice and cozy stay.

Centrally located within walking distance to Central train station, Dam Square, Red Light District, Anne Frank, Shops amongst other. Themed-12 room and stayed 2N in Wardrobe - our teenager daughter loves her own single BR with transparent glass door and the hollywood mirror. Clean T&B with a rain shower, lotions, shampoo & conditioner, shower caps and vanity kits. Espresso maker provided, complimentary bottled water and a mini-fridge. Warmed reception from checked-in to checked-out (a gentleman and 2 lovely ladies). They have a lift too although we have not use it. Would highly recommend this place if you're looking for one.
Paul
Excellent family room - loved all the little amenities - the complimentary Prosecco was a hit with my wife. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great location to explore the city.
Perhaps the wardrobe space was a little small for a family of 4. But I’d definitely book here again. Thanks

We stayed in the Garage room. The room was a very nice size considering that rooms in Europe are generally smaller than those we are used to in North America. All of the amenities we needed were provided, the mini bar was well stocked, and the turn down service was lovely.

Quirky little hotel, nice and clean each room is theme based. Nice and friendly staff and is centrally based for loads of hotels and attractions. Hotel is on a quiet side street and a 3-4 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Train station.
Matthew
Would not recommend for a business trip
No staff past 11pm means guests run around as they feel all night slamming doors and making noise. If you’re looking for a hotel which is not a high end hostel.
If your on business try the M Gallery close by where you’ll get a good sleep.

A little gem with everything in walking distance..
Excellent location with all the attractions within walking distance. Get your day started at the coffeeshop across the road from the hotel. Great place to unwind at the end of the day too. Rooms are clean, modern and have a chic vibe. A little on the small side, we stayed in 'The Den' but I think balanced with affordability. There is some construction on the approach street but you'll be fine. Great shopping is a few steps away along with most eateries within 10-15mins walking distance. Check in / out was smooth no complaints really.

Very convenient location to tour Amsterdam, close to restaurants and Central Station for transfer to/from Schiphol Airport.
Staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Cleaners just needed a little wake up call.

- central location, but this meant you were on the Main street, with a lot going on, and perhaps the less nice part of Amsterdam.
- bathroom was very modern and stylish
- all bedrooms have a them, but I personally feel this cheapened the room. For example, we had a a large dusty metal washing cart and a large sticker decal on our wall, that we felt really took away from the style and cheapened the feel of the room.
- very comfortable bed.
- room tidied every day, with fresh towels and bed made
- unfortunately, for a variety of reasons and based on several staff members, the front of house staff were often rude, condescending and just very unpleasant to deal with.
- not one drawer in the room, just one very small, short wardrobe and two very low shelves (had to kneel on floor) to store your belongings in

- room tidied every day, with fresh towels and bed made
- unfortunately, for a variety of reasons and based on several staff members, the front of house staff were often rude, condescending and just very unpleasant to deal with.
- not one drawer in the room, just one very small, short wardrobe and two very low shelves (had to kneel on floor) to store your belongings in

Well appointed room in a convenient location. Staff was knowledgable and friendly. Room was spotless and provided every ammenity needed for a short stay.

Cute rooms and very comfortable. The only minus was that there wasn't staff on-hand all the time, so we had to go across the street to their sister property to check out in the morning.

Cozy stay
Located in the heart of Amsterdam Centraal. Perfect stay when travelling with teenagers.

It can be misleading
Staff was very friendly and it's in great location. One bad thing about this place was it was located away from the main hotel like a sister hotel, and a luggage storage and early check out (9am) need to be happened in the crossed street at the main hotel. All the pictures on the website was from the main hotel and it can be misleading.

AC was not working in our room and it was incredibly hot and humid due to the rain. The room was so muggy that it was difficult to sleep. All they gave us was one small fan for three people to somehow share, which didn’t work well due to the layout of the room. The windows also did not open to let in any fresh air. We asked every day for 3 days to switch to another room or at the bare minimum to get an additional fan and we got nothing. Finally we were able to switch to their sister property, The Highlander, for the last two nights of our stay. They were very friendly but for over $400 per night, we had a very poor experience.

Better Avoided
The plus points - Very artistically and cutely done hotel - all the rooms have different themes and we'd taken 3 rooms and each room had its own personality; super friendly staff; fantastic location.
But, the housekeeping is so poor it actually made us want to leave. The first day they forgot to clean to our room, and when we returned in the evening the hotel staff told us it was too late and there was nothing they could do. The next day they did clean the room but they didn't sweep/vacuum the floor, change the dirty teacups, clear the dustbins, etc. Again when we asked the staff the said there was nothing they could do and said we could clear out the dustbins ourselves but they had no idea where the fresh trash bags were to replace in the bins. It was utterly bizzare. After this while the room was 'cleaned', it was never properly cleaned - the floor etc was always left dirty.
The second issue was in our room the bed was extremely lopsided and uncomfortable to sleep in, in another room the ac didn't work and the staff couldn't do anything.
I do not recommend staying here at all. It pretty much ruined our entire Amsterdam experience and we couldn't wait to leave.

Location was quiet -excellent, just a short block to walk to the shops and a few blocks to the canals. They stored our luggage upon early arrival and late departure.

The Highland House - Amsterdam
We had an amazing stay at The Highland House. The Check-in was smooth and quick. The room was clean and to our surprise all the rooms were themed. Ours was called GYM and had a neat leather punching bag in a corner of the room. Also there were posters of Muhammad Ali the great legendary boxer and some other athletes from different sports . The room was comfy and felt cozy to stay in. The bed was amazingly soft and comfortable. We had some sound sleep in those beds. Cleanliness was too class. No complaints at all. The staff were all polite and smiling and very helpful about things to do and ways to reach various sights. Overall a too class hotel for a short stay in the center of Amsterdam with many restaurants and pubs right within walking distance from the hotel.

The staff were very nice and greeted us after our very long day of traveling. The room was very clean as well, just a weird set up as the main bed was turned diagonally and it was not easy to get in/out from one side and the other side was right next to the toilet. There was not much room to place luggage, especially for three adults. The staff told us we could take the elevator with our luggage to the room. My cousin climbed up the first set of narrow steps and took the elevator up, only to find out that our room was on the small landing after the first set of stairs! After a long day of travel, it was hilarious and frustrating. I mean, if you work there, you should know where the rooms are located! Overall, the stay was fine. We were not in the room long, just for showering and sleep. Just keep in mind that it is a narrow stairway and the space is compact in the room!

Boutique hotel that has interesting design themes for its rooms, located in a very convenient location accessible to shopping, dining and sightseeing etc, and relatively near to dam square and central station. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Room size may be a bit small, bathroom comes without door, and the reception outside office hours is located in a separate hotel across the street.
