“The Highlander Amsterdam strikes a balance between its Scottish-themed decor and a central Amsterdam address, near Dam Square and the Anne Frank House; rooms are modern, with some ventilation quirks addressed thoughtfully by the staff. Breakfast is a highlight, and the community-focused check-in adds a personal touch. It's a solid choice with attentive service.”
