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.

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.

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.
