Cool hotel in the center of Amsterdam

Very nice hotel in the center of Amsterdam. Walking distance to the Central station and to the big shopping streets. The room was clean, spacious and with a cool interior. Nice breakfast and very nice with the free drinks and snacks when you come back in the afternoon. The staff were very helpful.

Lovely place to stay.

The staff were very kind, the hotel was in a good location close to many tourist attractions. The breakfast was nice too. Everything was great except the fact that our tv didn’t work at all. It was quite late at night and we had only a one day’s stay so we didn’t mind and not complain about it.

The Highlander was in a very central location. The hotel is updated and cute, I loved the free breakfast, snacks and drinks in the lobby. The rooms, even though I paid for a larger room, were extremely small, especially with a crib. There was also no way to get into the hotel with our stroller without carrying it up or down stairs. Otherwise, great hotel.

Great size, quiet room

Good location with a great size room. Friendly staff, good value breakfast. Bed was comfy and the room was quiet. Room hadn’t been checked properly as there was an empty deodorant can by the seating. Some issues with the in-room tablet and TV kept switching off at random times. Nice to have bottles of water in the fridge and good quality toiletries.
