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!

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!
