MariaExcellent location with a delicious breakfast!
AmyVery 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.
LarryThe 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…

Questions about The Highlander
What time is check-in and check-out at The Highlander?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Highlander allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Highlander?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Is breakfast included at The Highlander?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Highlander have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Highlander have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Highlander?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Highlander?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
