Jun, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Not really any food options except for breakfast however several places within walking distance. Bed was super comfy!!, hotel was a solid choice to either walk to jordaan or the busy streets of red light district. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
Allan, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is ideal; perfect for exploring Amsterdam and convenient for taking short breaks throughout the day if you need to rest or refresh. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I especially appreciated the complimentary hot and cold beverages (tea, coffee, soda, etc.) available all day in the lobby—a really nice touch. I was pleasantly surprised by the great city view from my room. Although the weather was mild during my visit, it was great to have a well-functioning AC.
Erkan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I liked the details in this hotel. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast had everything one needs
Ganna, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
adrian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Facing a dodo street but very convenient to everything we wanted to see in Amsterdam. Friendly staff, spotless facilities and room. Great shower! Would stay again.
Andrew, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice room, nice that each floor had its own color.
Kelsey, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The Highlander is in a great position it is near to the city centre, trams and central station. The canals are close but the good nightlife is a little more of a walk in either direction. We were on the Blue level on the third floor which suited our needs and there is a lift if required. The beds are soft although comfortable but the pillows are poor quality! The breakfast was adequate but the coffee was awful unfortunately. On the whole this is a good Hotel trying its best and I would recommend maybe only for 1 or 2 nights.
Stephen, 3-night trip

Kiran, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!!

Ruben, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Close to everything

Great location steps from Dam Square and the tram stop is right in front of the hotel. Nice staff. Room is small for what you pay (but you’re paying for location so…). It was quiet despite being near it all. We did enjoy drinks from the bar; food at the bar is for if you’re in a pinch. Didn’t like the toilet in the bedroom… it was black. Who knows if that’s clean or not and it’s just strange.
Rachel, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Truly a special place in the heart of it all, a cozy and charming space that made the stay so worthwhile.
Richard, 4-night trip
