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.

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.

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!

Everything is great. The room is comfy and well furnished, with good size. The location is convenient, just 10min walk from Amsterdam Central station. Breakfast is simple with limited choice but I am ok with this. Staff are friendly.

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
