Some report occasional street noise and strong smells from the nearby coffee shop, though others found the side street relatively quiet for the area. Reception and breakfast are often handled at a nearby sister hotel, and staffing can be limited late. A few reviews mention windowless or basement rooms and steep stairs, but there is also an elevator. Expect a stylish, central base with character and a few practical trade-offs.

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.

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.

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 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

La ubicación es excelente, te permite moverte a pie prácticamente a todos los destinos turísticos y tienes varias paradas de tramo a menos de 3 minutos caminando para ir a destinos más alejados... La calle donde se encuentra el hotel luce en principio poco segura por estar en un callejón y frente a un coffee shop, pero en realidad es segura y tranquila, no tuvimos ningún problema a ninguna hora... Al final de ambas calles está lleno de tiendas, restaurantes, supermercados y todo lo que puedes necesitar... Los cuartos son amplios (comparando con las propiedades del lugar) y cuenta con elevador (que es un super plus, porque las escaleras están de miedo con equipaje)... El personal es sumamente atento.... puntos extra: tienen paraguas para prestarte y café que rellenan todos los días... Muy contenta, lo volvería a elegir

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.

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!

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!

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!

La ubicación es excelente, te permite moverte a pie prácticamente a todos los destinos turísticos y tienes varias paradas de tramo a menos de 3 minutos caminando para ir a destinos más alejados... La calle donde se encuentra el hotel luce en principio poco segura por estar en un callejón y frente a un coffee shop, pero en realidad es segura y tranquila, no tuvimos ningún problema a ninguna hora... Al final de ambas calles está lleno de tiendas, restaurantes, supermercados y todo lo que puedes necesitar... Los cuartos son amplios (comparando con las propiedades del lugar) y cuenta con elevador (que es un super plus, porque las escaleras están de miedo con equipaje)... El personal es sumamente atento.... puntos extra: tienen paraguas para prestarte y café que rellenan todos los días... Muy contenta, lo volvería a elegir

A l’arrivée, la charmante réceptionniste propose du thé ou café pour nous réchauffer… La literie est fantastique !! Attention bémol pour le petit déjeuner ne se prend pas au sein de l’établissement… si vous n’êtes pas du matin comme mon époux et bien vous loupe votre petit déjeuner.. on aurait pas du le payer d’avance ..

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.

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 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
