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!
