I found the staff very friendly and helpful! Especially Patrick! Rooftop and courtyard were really good areas to chill in too!

The rooftop and courtyard, so nice to be able to sit outside and of course the staff! A good location to get to the CBD or beaches.

Perfect location, close to the train station and local amenities. All the staff were lovely and very helpful I would definitely stay here again.

“Good short stay (but needs more fridges)”

Good wifi. Location close to public transport and a supermarket. Rooftop accessible early in the morning. Access to a fitness studio for free (even if the number of access cards is very limited (like 5 cards) and you can only visit the gym during the day : not suitable for daytime workers). The staff is friendly and there is a space where to store your luggage when waiting for check-in/check-out. If your room is too messy, you will get an official warning from the staff (which is actually good in order to keep the place tight and clean, specially in small 4-beds rooms). A VERY practical power socket and a lamp next to each bed (even the upper ones). Maybe because of the guests when I was there (mostly very young people), the atmosphere is cool : people trust each other. It is like we had 2 groups : workers leaving the hostel early in the morning and the youngs (some working in hospitality) chilling around until late.

The staff were very warm and welcoming, they went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and enjoyed my stay. I was immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the building, as some other hostels I’ve stayed in have been a bit of a nightmare on that front! If you’re looking for a social atmosphere this hostel is the place for you - the communal area has a massive TV and comfy seating area to come together and watch films, play games on the Xbox, and more! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be sure to come back to Mad Monkey in the future. Thanks again to the team!
