We stayed here with a group of 17 people celebrating a 50th Birthday and found The Monk catered to all our needs. Our diverse group covered the ages from 14 to 70 and the Nieuwmarket covered all possible needs from supermarket, market stalls, cafes and a coffee shop right on the corner :) I have been visiting Amsterdam for 35...

Would like to say that this place definitely exceeded our expectations. We travelled in a group of 3. Did not really want to stay in a hostel, however we were in luck when we secured accomodation here. We actually came during a busy time as there was some Congress happening and alot of accomodation was fully booked for the week.... More

I stayed here from 6-10th December 2010 with my boyfriend (I know the review is a little late). The apartments are within walking distance of the station. You walk through (or behind) the Red Light District and through Chinatown right onto Nieuwmarkt Square. The square has a giant castle-looking building called In De Waag which is actually a restaurant. I... More

I have rented one of Henks apartments many times over the years and I can thoroughly recommend this place. I am surprised at some of the reviews as I have never had any of these problems. The location is excellent, right on the beautiful New Market (and if the seedier side of the Dam is your thing, you are right... More

I would never commend that anyone stay there. Very angry that we did not get the apartment we booked over the Internet i.e City Comfort # 1. We got an inferior apartment with low ceilings at the top of the building. The first day there we cleaned. Fat in the frying pan, stained cups, thick layer of dust under bed,... More

The apartment was just perfect. The apartment we got is a lot larger than I expected (based on some pics I found online). Overall the apartment we got was very spacious. The service was great and very very friendly. The apartment was very clean, very well furnished, comfortable beds, nice shower. Cheaper than any hotel. More privacy than any hotel.... More

Arrived at The Monk Apartments and although there was no-one there to meet us, there was a note on the door advising to call when we arrived. Henk arrived within 5 minutes of me calling him. We were a group of 6 guys and and although we had booked an apartment to sleep 6 this would have meant two guys... More

This apartment is located in a great spot. Close to the station, close to Dam Square, and within walking distance to all the museums and sights. (very close to the red light district not sure if this is good or bad... suppose it depends on how you feel about it) The apartments are clean. They provide linen, towels, various teas... More

I have been traveling to Amsterdam for many years. On this family trip (no children) I wanted to ensure my Auntie, Wife, and friend could see everything the RLD has to offer, but in a safe and comfortable setting. That’s truly The Monk Apartments in a nutshell, "you are in the heart of the RLD in a safe and secure... More
