Hotel

By John Howison

Lazy Bones in León is a classy, modern hostel offering dorm beds and private rooms with and without on-suite bathrooms. It is a great value, especially for the dorm rooms. The hostel as a whole is clean and aesthetically pleasing, much like its sister hostel in Granada, Hostel Oasis. If you are looking for a rowdy party scene found at some hostels this is not the place, as it tends to cater to older, slightly upscale backpackers. Lazy Bones is still a good time though, and a great place to meet people due to the inviting common areas (such as the swimming pool).

We paid $19 for 2-to-a-bed, without a bathroom, which is almost double our budget, but after a very hot and long bus ride from Esteli, the pool, free internet and firm mattresses won us over. My 9-year-old loved the pool table as well. The staff were extremely relaxed and helpful. I didn't care for the apparently unrestricted smoking policy for common areas like the internet, pool table area. Who needs it.

They have free coffee. This place is for someone who wants to get away from other travelers. More sensible crowd.

Robbed in Lazy Bones

The following is an e-mail I sent to the management of Lazy Bones after I had my major items of value stolen from my locker in Lazy Bones Hostel. I have not received a response. -------------------------------------------- I got your e-mail from the owner of Big Foot Hostel, he informed that you are the owners of Lazy Bones Hostel in Leon. I stayed at your hostel for two nights, the last one being on October 17, 2007. It was on this night that my backpack was stolen out of my locker. That night I went out with the only other two girls staying in my room at 7 p.m. and when I returned around 11:45 p.m. locker 4 was open and my bag was missing. There was an orange and blue bag that looked suspicious on another bed in the dorm room. Upon inspecting this bag, we found that it only contained two old shirts and a pair of pants. This was the decoy bag that was used to enter the hostel by the alleged thief. I lost about $900 in possessions including a back pack, camera, phone, MP3 player, passport, credit card, cash, etc. I had to return to the States two weeks early because of this incident and borrow money from some kind English girls to pay for my nights at the hostel. I am hoping that you can take the appropriate measures to rectify this situation and make sure that this doesn't happen to future guests at your hostel. I am looking forward to your response

Fabulous!

Considering you get free internet, a sparkling swimming pool for the horrible heat, coffee and tea, free 10 minutes of international phone calls daily (to almost anywhere!), and a clean, relaxed hostel, it is a really, really good deal. Although it seems a bit more expensive, with all the services it was worth it. I think, it might have been the best hostel we stayed at in Central America.

Horribly overpriced for a double room.  The breakfast, which they made us pay extra for, was absolutely inedible.
