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.

Cool decor, modern and in good condition. Note they have very soft beds and huge hard pillows which are not for me. Woken up by drilling (rooms are not sound proofed), but I think this was probably from building next door to not hotel's fault!

6/10

Top three floors look good. 4th down very tired. We were on 2nd floor Deluxe room. Quite small we found and were pleased we didnt book a cosy room. The water came under the foor of the shower unit which made showering difficult. Someone asked what a Scottish breakfast was and the answer was like an English one. I have to say Someone needs to see what an English one is and it consists of more than The highlander one which was burnt cold bacon chopped omelette and cold mushrooms. There was cold boiled egg as well. The continental side of it was better. Having given the downside which was plenty, the staff were lovely and helpful. Im afraid i would not recommend this hotel

Good location with tram stop just nearby. Upbeat decor, easy tech in the room. Staff were polite and welcoming. Good choice at breakfast. Bed matresses were very soft - may suit you but may not. Great to have ability to leave luggage after check-out whilst still exploring. I would suggest that management move the reception desk as it would be so easy for a guest to fall/step backwards off the steps that are directly in front of the table.

Great stay. Girlfriends 30th birthday and I asked them to put some balloons and a banner in for when we arrived back after a day out that I’d bought over with me and they happily obliged. Very friendly and also constantly crispy bacon in the morning😂 would recommend

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!
