The Highlander Hotel was located next to a variety of different shopping experiences, excellent dining options and was extremely easy to walk to many different parts of the city. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and was immediately welcoming after a long travel day. We will definitely stay here again!!

All good thing around here, lots of reasonably priced food options breakfast is plentiful and fresh staffing attentive and always willing to help. Rooms are very small but all well equipped... Besides you don't go to Amsterdam to be in just a hotel room... So much to see and do no time to be in a hotel anyway. Leave for a boring city, this isa lot of fun here.

The Highlander is in a great area right in Central Amsterdam, there is access to all forms of transportation and majority of things are within walking distance. Our room was a little cold at times, despite adjusting the heating, especially the bathroom. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Nice place, very close to everything. Walking distance to the Central Station, the Dam, and many points of interest. It's also surrounded by multiple stores and restaurants. The room was enough for what we needed, it was spacious and clean.
