The Lazy Monkeys

My first time in Amsterdam, and had the best experience. Lazy Monkeys is in a prime central location, it's a fantastic base to explore the city day and night. Laszlo is a great host and knows his city. We had the warmest of welcomes from him and he advised us on all the best places to visit during our stay. The hotel is proper quirky and oozes tradition. It offers everything you need for a short break to this amazing city. We will definitely be visting again. Thank you Lazlo

First time staying here and I'll definitely be back. Laslo's a top guy, very friendly and likes a chat. He's got great recommendations for all sorts of stuff like Thai food, coffee shops , whatever really. Also got some interesting stories about the history of the building... The Thai restaurant across the road is proper authentic and really reasonably priced. The hostel is a short jaunt up form Central Station, really easy to find, though it might not be obvious your outside it as there's no sign or anything. ||||The location is great because your close to the station but also not far from Liedsplien and right next to but not in the RedLight. Also right beside Da Wagg.||||This place felt homely as soon as I walked in. Friendly welcome from Laslo and he showed us to our room. Fell instantly in love with the top floor room which overlooks the canal. Bright airy, smoking friendly and really comfortable. Couldn't of asked for any better. Shower and toilet outside room but we had it to ourselves for 2 nights. All immaculate and a seriously enjoyable shower. Towels provided||||||I've been many times to Amsterdam, somewhere round 20 and this has been my favourite place to stay. Perfect base for a chilled few days in Amsterdam. Smoking friendly . Even had pipe and rolly baccy , grinder etc in the room. Suitable for anyone wanting a chilled out time really without going to mad, which was exactly what we were after so maybe not recommend it to all night partiers ( if your noisy ones that is!)||||Cheers Laslo

Owner is very friendly and laid back. He has a great knowledge of all of Amsterdam. We came clueless and left with many suggestions of great places to go and great advice which was used throughout the whole trip! Would definitely recommend the location is impeccable and the hostel has a wonderful homely aesthetic!

First off, the location is amazing, right in the middle of the city. Very easy to get around to the sites of the city. Next, the host, Laszlo is great. Once we arrived to the place, he provided us with a wealth of information about the city (places to visit, places to avoid, recommendations for bars/restaurants, etc). My friends and I had a great time in Amsterdam, and we all deeply appreciate how much Laszlo contributed to that.

Location is amazing, host is super friendly, generous and helpful. There are two locks on the way to your room so there is a feeling of security too. The room has no heating but the heating from the ensuite bathroom was enough to warm the main room through the night. The downside was the toilet, it looks like it needed cleaning. The bed sheets faintly smelled of smoking, rather than laundry. But the overall experience was lovely! We enjoyed the stay very much! Also finding the place was very hard since there was no proper sign. Here's a picture of the door for you lot! Enjoy the place!

5 Stars ALLDAY long!! The best hotel I've stayed in when I've gone to the dam. We found this place by shear luck as me and the girlfriend needed a place to stay after being refused to fly back to England so we went to the hostel place and he wrong up lazy monkeys and to be honest we wasn't expecting much but once we got there the owners of the townhouse were fabulous our every need was met and you could smoke in your room which going to Amsterdam for 5 years now that's the first time I could smoke easily in the room. I could go on all day about lazy monkeys but to get the full extent you need to try here they have a few rooms but we had the basement and it was incredible it even had an Xbox!

Stayed here for 3 days and can’t fault this place! Lazslo was an amazing host with great recommendations. Would 100% stay here again. The location was smack bang in the middle of Amsterdam with the red light district right behind you!

Wouldn’t stay in any other place. Cozy rooms, always clean, right in the center of Amsterdam, everything you need is walking distance. The owner is super friendly, always helpful and just makes you feel home 😊 highly recommend |note: it’s smoker friendly, so don’t go if that bothers you
