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!
