All good thing around here, lots of reasonably priced food options breakfast is plentiful and fresh staffing attentive and always willing to help. Rooms are very small but all well equipped... Besides you don't go to Amsterdam to be in just a hotel room... So much to see and do no time to be in a hotel anyway. Leave for a boring city, this isa lot of fun here.

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!
