The Highlander Amsterdam

Absolutely beautiful stay! Comfortable room and great breakfast. Wish the staff would have told us the “minibar” downstairs was free when we arrived. This was an amazing stay and will stay again.

I already sent a review, which was amazing. Really enjoyed this hotel, especially the free beer and wine in the lobby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breafast was excellent. I would stay there again when I go to Amsterdam.

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.

Fin oplevelse. Beliggenheden er rigtig god. Rigtig venligt personale. Rigtigt god servic med køleskab og kaffemaskine på værelset. Dog lugtede kloakken en del på badeværelset. Der står i beskrivelsen af hotellet, at der er restaurant, men det er der ikke og det var et minus, da det havde været et krav til vores hotelvalg.

Pusimos 3 estrellas en instalaciones ya que verdaderamente es un lugar para dormir y nada más, no tiene restaurante ni nada. Pero fuera de ese punto es excelente!!!

The Highlander is a perfect hotel for exploring Amsterdam. The tram is about a couple of minutes walking from the hotel. Amsterdam Centraal Station is about 13 minutes waling and only 5 minutes via tram from the hotel. Anne Frank House is about 10 minutes walking also. The hotel offers breakfast buffet, is very clean and the staff are genuinely hospitable. There are many options for shopping and a variety of restaurants to choose from close to and around the hotel. The only thing is that the hotel lobby is accessible by going down a short flight of stairs, which may be inconvenient for those who are handicapped or have a lot of luggages. Other than that, the hotel is awesome!

Clean rooms, friendly staff, great location, amazing breakfast and access to coffee and drinks throughout the stay

Breakfast was good, room and bed very comfortable and complimentary drinks/nibbles were a great idea and welcomed especially in lieu of a fully stocked bar.

Venligt personale. Hurtig indtjekning. Gratis drikkevarer fra 12-24, det har jeg alligevel aldrig oplevet før. Pæne værelser. Perfekt beliggenhed Helt klart et sted jeg gerne vil komme igen

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.

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.

I do want to start by highlighting the staff as they were friendly and helpful. To be honest, this hotel was not worth the price I paid. In terms of location, the hotel was walking distance to most places which was very convenient. The issues I had revolved around cleanliness and the room. The shower is weirdly designed so when you take a hot shower the humidity circulates the room. It was unbearable to get ready at times as it was extremely hot. We then realized the vent above our shower was not working - we asked the hotel to send someone to fix it which they did. After fixing the vent, we asked to have our room clean specifically the shower as the repair man was stepping in our shower with his shoes as well as fallen debris from the ceiling when he repaired the vent. The hotel assured us that the cleaning staff would ensure a clean shower upon our return. A few hours later, we returned to the room to refresh for the evening and of course, the shower had no been clean, all of our empty bottles were still in the room, and the bed was made in a very rushed manner. Granted, I was upset but had no time to wait for someone to clean it. The next morning we went to breakfast and were gone for a few hours, we returned to our room in the afternoon and it still had not been cleaned. I called the reception to ensure we would have our room cleaned as well as removing the days old garbage and bottles. At last on our second to last day - they finally cleaned but the shower was not.

The shower smelled like mold. We had no light in the room. The room was not cleaned well.

Hotel super bem localizado e café da manhã bom. Porém para ser um 4 estrelas deveria ter melhores condições nos quartos, recebemos no dia do check in um quarto que estava com o ralo do banheiro entupido e a água do chuveiro não ia embora, com isso foi impossível tomar banho. Não conseguiram resolver e apenas no outro dia que nos trocaram de quarto.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, great location, amazing breakfast and access to coffee and drinks throughout the stay

Realy nice hotel, but ut was no cleaning in room and that was not good.

3 nights in this hotel. -Staff was so friendly and nice. -Breakfast was good. -Room was quite modern and looked nice. Only minus that there were some dust there and there so looks like there were no vacuuming. -Drinks and snacks were included and day long from the hotel bar. Overall very nice visit and would come again :)

The room and common areas (elevator and hallways) need a thorough cleaning.

Clean rooms, small but had all necessities. Very friendly and attentive hosts. Excellent location

Lovely hotel in a great location. Although booking a deluxe room, it was quite compact. The walls were painted black, which made it very dark and difficult to get ready. Buffet style breakfast and an added bonus of free beer and wine in the evening, nice little touch! Would recommend but ask for a bright coloured room.

Very low lighting in bedroom.

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!

Really enjoyed our stay and would return, only negative being the rooms weren’t sound proof, woke a lot to noises

Room was much smaller than anticipated and could not be described as a deluxe. No separate bathroom - it was part of bedroom which was not in room description Clothes hanging and hangers limited Coffee machine in room, useless as no coffee pods provided Lead on hairdryer had been shortened making it difficult to use TV purported to have lots of multi language channels, only a few obtainable in Dutch. Reported to reception but no change Staff very friendly and efficient Bed comfortable

A lovely stay at the Highlander, couldn't fault it at all! Arrived at 11am and they allowed us in our room as it was ready and got a free upgrade too. Room was a good size with a huge, comfortable bed and was nice and clean. Decor was a little dark (everything was black!) but looked stylish and fitted well with the theme of the hotel. The only thing that was a bit odd was the shower being out in the open next to the bed with only a little privacy glass. As we were two friends staying it was a little awkward! The hotel is in a great location within walking distance to Dam square, central station and the red light district with plenty of places to eat nearby. Would 100% recommend a stay here :)

Breakfast wasn't to our liking not enough variety hot food was luke warm it wasn't replenished quick enough. Room was clean but lacked any storage for clothes. Didn't like the layout of the shower and wash basin in the bedroom. Staff were friendly but acted cold towards us when we complained about breakfast. Won't be returning

Bra läge, stora rum, sköna sängar och mysig lobby. Lite knepigt med öppet duschrum för tonåringen…

Very small room

The third floor was a dark blue color making it seem very dark. The room being very small lacked a place to sit with my laptop. No chairs (window seat). I do not deem the Hotel a good value for the money. The staff was very polite and helpful.

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

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.

Very nice modern hotel, great clean rooms, well designed and decorated, great check in experiance even got a free welcome drink, very friendy and welcoming staff.

Welcoming and comfortable hotel in a very convenient location close to transport links and attractions. Staff were very attentive & helpful, especially Liza. Would stay here again.

Liza was absolutely AMAZING! She was kind and extremely knowledgeable. The hotel was beautiful and clean. The location is perfect!

Good quality hotel with comfy beds, spacious rooms and helpful friendly staff. Great location. Easy walking distance to Centraal Station, Dam Square and Nine Streets district. Generous breakfast plus free coffee/drinks awaiting you after a long day out exploring.

Room was great but staff was not prepared for my arrival and then only made my keys work for one night instead of two. Minor inconvenience otherwise hotel was great and staff helped with the issue

Before i arrived at the Highlander i had reason to contact them several times. On every occasion the Reception staff were most helpful. This conitinued for the duration of our stay. With the chaos of the crowdstrike outage the staff were most helpful in checking flight info and accommodation options in event of delay. This was most appreciated. The bed was very comfortable and apart from the light switches everything was great. More options on the TV would be an improvement. The breakfast was fresh & substantive in a relaxed atmosphere. The location is good with easy access to transport, food, shops etc. Highly recommend but the credit must go to all the Reception staff. Once again thank you for makjng our stay more relaxed, comfortable & pleasant.

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.

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.

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.

Location is good interns of getting around. It’s close to red lights district therefore a little seedy Bit overall experience was good Photos make the rooms look lighter than what they actually are

Great place! Very quiet despite being in a busy location

Excellent hotel in the perfect city centre location. Highly recommend!!

Very centrally located. We were able to walk to most areas around Amsterdam. Hotel was nice and clean. We especially liked the complimentary wine, beer, water, and drinks. Staff were also very friendly.

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.

The property itself was fine and staff friendly. Surrounding area was dirty and a bit rough and worn.

Good quality hotel with comfy beds, spacious rooms and helpful friendly staff. Great location. Easy walking distance to Centraal Station, Dam Square and Nine Streets district. Generous breakfast plus free coffee/drinks awaiting you after a long day out exploring.

Hotel was easily walked to from train station. Many restaurants and stores near by.

Well appointed and nicely designed room in an excellent location. Friendly and attentive staff. Would recommend!

C’est mon 2e séjour dans cet hotel. Le personnel est efficace, le check-in s’est bien passé (je n’ai pas pu avoir la chambre avant 15h malheureusement, mais conforme). La chambre était un peu fraîche malgré la temperature réglée de manière exagérée a 24°C. Je pense que la température n’a jamais dépassé 21. Autrement la chambre est confortable et propre. Le petut déjeuner est bon, 4 choix de plats chaud et le classique reste (croissants, fruits, yogourt, et divers boissons et café/thé.

Love the breakfast, the staff and the area

Rooms were unique clean and cozy with comfortable bed. The location was near everything. The only thing was their breakfast was very poor in the hotel.

Fin oplevelse. Beliggenheden er rigtig god. Rigtig venligt personale. Rigtigt god servic med køleskab og kaffemaskine på værelset. Dog lugtede kloakken en del på badeværelset. Der står i beskrivelsen af hotellet, at der er restaurant, men det er der ikke og det var et minus, da det havde været et krav til vores hotelvalg.

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.

Unser Aufenthalt war sehr gut! Vor allem habe ich mich darüber gefreut, dass beim Frühstück auf Anfrage glutenfreie Brötchen für mich aufgebacken wurden.

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.

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.
