Walkable, chic.
Very walkable. Adorable, chic boutique hotel. Typical European room size SUPER small. Good breakfast spread and drinks available 24/7. NOT handicap accessible. It does have elevators/lift but you need to go down a half flight of stairs to access it. Otherwise, I would recommend.

excellent hotel in the centre of Amsterdam
We were delighted with our three nights stay at the Highlander. We were welcomed with a beverage which was very welcome after our journey. After this we were shown to our room and all the facilities explained to us. The room was comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. The bed was very large and comfortable. the heating was adjustable to our needs. Breakfasts were served and cooked freshly by a very efficient and friendly chef. They had everything available that you could desire. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were very helpful with local information. Check out was easy and we were able to leave our luggage securely until the evening of our departure. The situation was very convenient for trams shops and restaurants. Overall we thoroughly recommend this hotel and we would be happy to return if the need arose.

Good central base to visit main Amsterdam attracti
Convenient, central location. Clean and very comfy bed and pillows. The room was quite small and a little dark. The toilet cubicle was tiny and claustrophobic but the shower was good and spacious. Breakfast was ok, not particularly varied or exciting.

Nice King Size Room
The Highlander Hotel is an excellent choice for travelers to Amsterdam. The breakfast was hearty and delicious. Our room with a king size bed was much bigger than typical rooms in Amsterdam. The location was within a 5 minute walk of Dam Square and a 10 minute walk to Centraal Station. The hotel staff were extremely helpful. Overall we were very happy with the Highlander Hotel.
