The hotel is situated in a great spot, within 10 mins walk to the central station and the city centre. There is also a tram stop very close by for longer trips. The hotel itself was fantastic! The rooms were very clean and had everything we needed. The reception staff were always friendly. Baasad in particular really helped us at check in to resolve an issue that we'd had with our agency booking. Although it may seem a small thing to some, having free drinks and snacks in the lobby was something we really appreciated (glass bottled sodas are something we especially loved!) Overall we would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting an Amsterdam stay that is close to the action, but far enough away to be lovely, quiet and peaceful.

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.

I was very hesitant to stay in a 3 star hotel, but this is one of the BEST hotels I’ve been to, and it’s because of their staff, they go above and beyond to make sure you have all that you need and are super accommodating. Hotel is simplistic but everything works, breakfast is good, super centric to everything and literally 10 minutes walk from the train station.
